One of the things we like to do as members of SPIRITUS is come together as households (men at the St. Bernadette's rectory and women at Mt. Tabor Center) and share our personal faith with each other. Tonight we used the Gospel reading from today as a jumping-off point for our discussion.
It's the Memorial of the Passion of John the Baptist, and that means we heard a very intense story today at Mass. It was a good place for us to begin sharing our lives and our faith with one another. Fr. Don and Fr. Andrew, the priests in residence here at St. Bernadette's, joined our discussion as well, bringing their insights and knowledge.
It's a great privilege to be able to discuss these things with not one but two great priests who have not only given their lives to Christ, but also generously extended hospitality to the men of SPIRITUS. It's not a privilege just anyone gets. (I never would have thought, before joining SPIRITUS, that I would have an opportunity to get to know a priest well enough to just sit down and have a deep conversation in the living room!) It's just one of the ways in which being part of SPIRITUS is a tremendous blessing. Of course, the greatest blessing is simply serving God.
