TALLER DE ORACION Y VIDA
El Taller de Oración y Vida es una nueva forma de evangelización, más viva y con una visión más positiva de lo que se ha mostrado siempre. Es una presentación más vibrante y activa de Jesús, que posee una mayor adaptación a las necesidades de la sociedad actual. Los Talleres de Oración y Vida (TOV), fundado por el P. Ignacio Larrañaga, sacerdote capuchino, originario de España: consta de 15 semanas, una sesión por semana, 2 horas por sesión; ademas te enseña a rela-cionarte con Dios, como de un amigo a otro. Entrega a los fieles un método práctico para aprender a orar; y orar de una manera ordenada, variada y progresiva; desde los primeros pasos hasta las profundidades de la contemplación. Este aprendizaje, sin embargo, no es teórico como en un curso sino práctico como en un taller, en el que orando se aprende a orar. Invitamos a nuestra comunidad para que asistan a este taller que se estará impartiendo en la parroquia a partir del viernes 13 de enero, 2012 de 7:00 PM – 9:00PM, en el salón 212.

R.C.I.A. Scripture tells us about “Three Kings” who come to see the baby Jesus. Matthew’s story call them Magi, a kind of
combination of scholar and soothsayer or diviner. They read
the stars to look for the hand of God. When they see a star
never seen before, they leave the comfort of their homes, take a long trip and outwit a king anxious for his crown, all
to look for the hand of God. Not know where they are going
or what they will find when they get there, they become model believers and seekers of the truth. Faith is always a
venture into the unknown; of letting the Spirit come into our
comfortable lives and shake them up. The Magi find Jesus by using their talents and the science available to them. This
is what the RCIA process is all about. You are invited, like
the Magi, to be seekers by exploring the RCIA process
during this new year. For information on RCIA, please call the Faith Formation Office at 433-2777 ext. 138 or Martin
Schott at 521-9079.

“As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace,…. whoever serves, let it be with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ”..1 Peter 4:10-11.

BEYOND CANA MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT RETREAT
— JANUARY 27-29, 2012 —

You will learn to use effective communication tools in a spiritual, non-threatening setting.
Our Parish will hold a Beyond Cana Marriage Enrichment Retreat, January 27-29, in Boerne, TX.

at the Ten Commandments but also at God’s plan for our happiness. Yes, there is sin in this world, but God’s law guides us away from sin and challenges us
to live according to His plan for our freedom. Spend a few minutes this week discussing with your teen(s) their thoughts on morality. Here are a few questions
to get the conversation started: 1. When you think about morality, what comes to mind? 2. Why do you think God put laws into place? 3. To you, what is the difference between Godly happiness and worldly
happiness?
