Bible Study Evangelista - How to Be a Monstrance, Atlanta Eucharistic Congress, 2019

Category: BlogTag: , , ,
 
Have you prayed and prayed about, and worked and worked on a situation, but it has not changed in the least? Could it be because you are operating in your flesh, rather than in the Spirit? What does the Holy Spirit want to do?
Here’s a little different treat: my talk from this year’s Archdiocese of Atlanta’s Eucharistic Congress.
Thank you to my newest Friends of the Show, Janet L; Patricia H; Lindsay B; Lisa P; Christina S; Gail & Chuck D; Shawn S; Shelley M; and Janette S, for loving and lifting me!

Bible Study Evangelista is on the Laudate app!

LOVE the Word® is a Bible study method based on Mary’s own practice: lectio without the Latin.
L – Listen (Receive the Word.)

O – Observe (Choose one or more of the following personality approaches to connect the passage to your life and recent events.)

Every FIAT temperament gets the same Observe step this week:
In what relationship or circumstance have you been relying solely on your own understanding rather than seeking God’s will? How can LOVE the Word help you discern God’s guidance?

V – Verbalize (Pray about your thoughts and emotions.)

Remembering that He loves you and that you are in His presence, talk to God about the particulars of your O – Observe step. You may want to write your reflections in your LOVE the Word® journal. Or, get a free journal page and guide in the right-hand margin.

E – Entrust (May it be done to me according to your word!)

Jesus, I trust in You! + Amen.

*LOVE the Word® exercises are offered according to FIAT: the four personalities, or “prayer forms,” explored in Prayer and Temperament, by Chester Michael and Marie Norrisey: Franciscan, Ignatian, Augustinian, and Thomistic: FIAT! These prayer forms correspond to the Myers-Briggs personality types.

Come, let nothing keep you from coming to our aid. Isaiah had prophesied, But a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom. (Isaiah 11:1), and A On that day, the root of Jesse, set up as a signal for the nations, the Gentiles shall seek out, for his dwelling shall be glorious. (Isaiah 11:10). Remember also that Jesse was the father of King David, and Micah had prophesied that the Messiah would be of the house and lineage of David and be born in Davids city, Bethlehem (Micah 5:1).

Will the day’s journey take the whole long day?  From morn to night, my friend. . But is there for the night a resting-place?  A roof for when the slow dark hours begin. May not the darkness hide it from my face?  You cannot miss that inn. . Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?  Those who have gone before. Then must I knock, or call when just in sight?  They will not keep you standing at that door. . Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?  Of labour you shall find the sum. Will there be beds for me and all who seek?  Yea, beds for all who come. Thank you to my newest Friends of the Show, Trish F; Janet L; Matt M;...
