If being a Christian disciple was a crime, is there enough evidence in our lives that would convict us?” It seems strange to ask that question, but it is the most basic place to start. Sometimes, we just move along from day to day and do not really live out faith in any real or tangible way.

 If that is a real question and our lives were on the line literally in a court room, would we get convicted. What evidence would be shown in the courtroom to show and hopefully prove that we are really an active Catholic Christian. What are some concrete tangible things that we could name? Think about it; there was a time when being a Christian was a crime and some places in the world it still is. People get martyred or killed for it — even still today.

In this series  we will start to answer those questions and see why “celebrating the Mass” is one of the most powerful ways to publicly display our faith.  However, it will not get us convicted unless we live it out loud in our daily actions. As committed disciples, we are called to live our faith in real concrete ways every day. In order to fully understand the Mass as a sacrament, we need to understand the difference between a sign, symbol, and sacrament. It seems straightforward but it is the cornerstone of our faith as Catholics to truly understand the sacrament. Come join us for the first of the series on the Living the Eucharist.

Cairns on the Second Mountain - Prayer Retreat by Fr. Brendan McGuire

When we are walking up a mountain, we cannot see the path ahead so we need markers or Cairns. Those who have already climbed the mountain before us leave markers for us to follow. The same is true for our spiritual journey.

"Second Mountain of Life" Prayer Retreat By Fr. Brendan McGuire

We are collectively in uncharted waters and how we respond to what happens to us on the journey is what define us. We can transform into something far better; to redefine ourselves as individuals, as a society and as a community.
