Conversations That Matter
What are we doing to put our Spirituality into practice? Spirituality is about the way we live, after all. This is a place for Communal Lectio, Centering on the Word. Ministry of the Word is central to Precious Blood Spirituality.

I believe the gospel is calling me to develop a leadership style that includes predominately: listening, discussing, accepting, compromising, explaining, sharing, asking. Administration is a gift of the Spirit. Obviously the Gospel tell us this gift can be misused or mis-directed. I pray that, as a priest, I may lead as Jesus did.

I have posted more of a homily here.

I feel a little grief and sadness at what is going on in the Church right now, that much of what is in the first reading has been true in our own time. I feel a great desire to be different, to be the priest God wants, and to be a bit more selfless.

"Movement" of Conversation
What are we doing to put our Spirituality into practice? Spirituality is about the way we live, after all.



Conversation will be on the Gospel or any of the Scriptures for the coming Sunday. The lens we will use to attend to the Word of God will include an understanding of Precious Blood Spirituality and the Life and mission of St. Gaspar del Bufalo. Each entry must be an answer to one of these questions pertaining to the gospel:

1. What did I hear?
What did he say that affected me? What did I hear for the first time? What leapt off the page at me? What word or phrase is important?

2. How does this make me feel?
No thoughts, opinions or judgments. If you can use the words, I think... intelligibly in the sentence it is not a feeling. Stick to feelings. Maybe start the sentence with I am...

3. What will I do?
How does the gospel call me to live? No plans, hopes or dreams; what concrete action will I do this week?

4. How shall I pray?
Prayers, litanies, tropes, and other forms based on the readings may be posted.

Thoughts, discussion, opinions, debate, will all be moved over to The New Gasparian.
