…and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. Romans 5:5
For many, when they hear the word Hope they think of a fond wish. When Christians hear the word Hope we think of a firm promise. As St. Paul proclaims in his letter to the Romans, Hope does not disappoint. Our hope is in the person of Jesus Christ who has laid down his life and conquered sin and death. This hope is poured into our hearts through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
We invite you to come to Christ the King during this time of grace to affirm your belief in the hope that can make sense of a hopeless world.
“Fingers Crossed” presented by Fr. Charlie Lachowitzer
Hope is not a fingers-crossed wish upon a Bethlehem star that nothing bad happens or something good happens. The virtue of hope is something beautifully different. With the virtues of faith and love, hope is in the mystery of the Cross of Jesus Christ. With hope, there is a joy that grows and perseveres no matter our past circumstances, present challenges or future fears. These days, it is most helpful to be more hope full.
“Don’t Run From Problems, Run To Emmaus” presented by Fr. Matt Linn, SJ
What keeps you from feeling really good right now? Whatever the difficulty someone has found a way to grow in it and we can too. If we share hearts with Jesus at Emmaus, our heart becomes His heart so we grow in life and love as Jesus did in every moment. Whatever we face, we are promised “God works in all things for the good of those who love Him…” Rm 8:28. And whatever we fear in the future no longer will be an overwhelming fear but rather another opportunity to share hearts and grow again. So run to this Emmaus retreat and all your life will run with infinite Life.
Join us to reflect on the season of Advent as we prepare for the coming of Christ, the Lord of Love, and “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6. Serving wine from Buffalo Rock Winery, non-alcohol beverages and light snacks. Free-will offerings accepted.
