The oil is good works, doing the will of the Father, the substance of the relationship with the father, it cannot be borrowed.

The challenge is to be an expectant believer, with my lamp lit and waiting for the feast. The Eucharist is the center of my day. I shall seek to make it more so.

"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.
