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.

It is helpful for me to occasionally step back from my normal routine to focus on the bigger picture of my life. This Advent seems like a time when I am being asked to "let space be made" in order to see from a different point of view. Such is the call of John the Baptist - "clear the way" in order to see the bigger perspective.

"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.
