Try to imagine what you might see... what you might hear... and what the persons in the scene might being doing. At each point in the contemplation try to draw some practical fruit from the reflection for your own life today. What changes and challenges does your reflection on the event furnish? Using the Four Steps of Lectio Divina select one of the Prayer Suggestion. Remember the Ignatian Model projects you into different scenes and experiences of the life of Jesus. The spirituality presented with the liturgical calendar of Advent Christmas Epiphany Lent and Easter is a good example of this type of prayer life The pattern is especially appealing to the Sensing-Judging personality and can be found reflected in the Epistle of James where a sense of duty is strongly presented. He insisted that Christianity should keep faithful to the ancient traditions of the Jews. We can also see this in the Gospel of Matthew where the evangelist emphasizes how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament hope and the continuity we have with the past in the Hebrew Scriptures. In your devotional reading of Scripture you may find a passage in James' Epistle particularly helpful. Write down the reference in your Prayer Journal and look it up. Read it several times through and reflect on it. There may be several such passages that come to mind for you in the Gospel of Matthew. Write down those references and look them up during your prayer time. When the passage lends itself to an imaginative reflection listen and discover what God is saying to you... A deliberate conscious effort has to be made to develop hope and trust and to look on the optimistic side of the Good News of the Gospel. Frequent meditation or reflection on the Resurrection of Jesus rather than constant recall of the Passion and Death is recommended to the Sensing-Judging personality. http://www.stjohnv.org/CalendarDetail.asp?id=100573HOPE IN THE MIDST OF GRIEF A Shared Experience The loss of a significant person in our lives leaves a big hole both in our hearts and in the very fabric of our everyday lives. How do you navigate that loss? What are the guideposts? Who are the guides and companions along the way? What light gives courage in darkness? Come and see. Together we will explore our own grief terrain and discover others as well. Well explore questions like Am I going crazy? Why am I not feeling the grief? or When will I stop feeling like this? Find support from others and help support them. Well even laugh and snack When: Wednesdays May 2 through May 23 from 7-9 PM Where: St. John Vianney Parish in the Parish Center How: There is no charge but registration is requested. To register please call St. Johns Christian Formation Office at 262-796-3944. Who: Anyone who wishes to attend. Need not be Catholic or a member of one of the supporting parishes of St. John Vianney St. Dominics both Brookfield St. Marys Elm Grove and St. Josephs Wauwatosa. Why: Because you deserve it Presenter: Sharon Modrzynski Bereavement Specialist and former Director of Grief Ministry at St. Johns. http://www.stjohnv.org/CalendarDetail.asp?id=81100 The Sacrament to annoint the sick is available every Thursday during the 7 a.m. Mass.

The development of the rosary has a long history. First a practice developed of praying 150 Our Fathers in imitation of the 150 Psalms. Then there was a parallel practice of praying 150 Hail Marys. Soon a mystery of Jesus' life was attached to each Hail Mary. Though Mary's giving the rosary to St. Dominic is recognized as unhistorical the development of this prayer form owes much to the followers of St. Dominic. One of them Alan de la Roche was known as the apostle of the rosary. He founded the first Confraternity of the Rosary in the 15th century. In the 16th century the rosary was developed to its present formwith the 15 mysteries joyful sorrowful and glorious. In 2002 Pope John Paul II added the Mysteries of Light to this devotion. The purpose of the rosary is to help us meditate on the great mysteries of our salvation. Pius XII called it a compendium of the gospel. The main focus is on Jesushis birth life death and resurrection. The Our Fathers remind us that Jesus' Father is the initiator of salvation. The Hail Marys remind us to join with Mary in contemplating these mysteries. They also make us aware that Mary was and is intimately joined with her Son in all the mysteries of his earthly and heavenly existence. The Glorys remind us that the purpose of all life is the glory of the Trinity. The rosary appeals to many. It is simple. The constant repetition of words helps create an atmosphere in which to contemplate the mysteries of God. We sense that Jesus and Mary are with us in the joys and sorrows of life. We grow in hope that God will bring us to share in the glory of Jesus and Mary forever. Quote: The rosary sets forth the mystery of Christ in the very way in which it is seen by St. Paul in the celebrated 'hymn' of the Epistle to the Philippianskenosis self-emptying death and exaltation 2:6-11.... By its nature the recitation of the rosary calls for a quiet rhythm and a lingering pace helping the individual to meditate on the mysteries of the Lord's life as grasped by the heart of her who was closer to the Lord than all others Paul VI Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary 45 47.

Try to imagine what you might see... what you might hear... and what the persons in the scene might being doing. At each point in the contemplation try to draw some practical fruit from the reflection for your own life today. What changes and challenges does your reflection on the event furnish? Using the Four Steps of Lectio Divina select one of the Prayer Suggestion. Remember the Ignatian Model projects you into different scenes and experiences of the life of Jesus. The spirituality presented with the liturgical calendar of Advent Christmas Epiphany Lent and Easter is a good example of this type of prayer life The pattern is especially appealing to the Sensing-Judging personality and can be found reflected in the Epistle of James where a sense of duty is strongly presented. He insisted that Christianity should keep faithful to the ancient traditions of the Jews. We can also see this in the Gospel of Matthew where the evangelist emphasizes how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament hope and the continuity we have with the past in the Hebrew Scriptures. In your devotional reading of Scripture you may find a passage in James' Epistle particularly helpful. Write down the reference in your Prayer Journal and look it up. Read it several times through and reflect on it. There may be several such passages that come to mind for you in the Gospel of Matthew. Write down those references and look them up during your prayer time. When the passage lends itself to an imaginative reflection listen and discover what God is saying to you... A deliberate conscious effort has to be made to develop hope and trust and to look on the optimistic side of the Good News of the Gospel. Frequent meditation or reflection on the Resurrection of Jesus rather than constant recall of the Passion and Death is recommended to the Sensing-Judging personality. http://www.stjohnv.org/CalendarDetail.asp?id=95093 Our reading group meets monthly - note the title for the meeting date.
