Based on our most recently released prayer journal, this new series hosted by Fr. John Riccardo and Mary Guilfoyle was created to accompany and further equip leaders in forever changing the way we make decisions. In this series, we explore together how to remove obstacles to true discernment and establish the essential ways for praying together, all in order to restore the initiative to God—whether in diocesan offices, parish teams, apostolates, or family life.

WHO IS ACTS XXIX?

Descubre aun más en https://Rescate.us

Creemos apasionadamente que la tarea más urgente es la proclamación convincente del evangelio, una que no solo lo comparta de una manera atractiva y concentrada, sino que también ofrezca a las personas una forma de ver la realidad y de dar sentido al mundo, la historia y la vida que es muy diferente de la historia que cuenta nuestra cultura moderna.

Hasta que esto suceda, la fe cristiana a menudo se experimenta como un mero conjunto de reglas y disciplinas, y simplemente ir a la Iglesia no es probable que lleve a una persona a embarcarse en la gran aventura que está siguiendo a Jesús y continuando Su misión de rescatar a este mundo.

Episode 319: Putting Down Roots

¿Qué se supone que debemos hacer con nuestras vidas en este momento? El capítulo nueve abre 6 respuestas a esta pregunta.
 
“En el drama de alto riesgo que nos rodea, a cada uno de nosotros se nos ha dado un papel que desempeñar, uno que lleva nuestro nombre y el de nadie más. Cada uno de nosotros tiene la misericordia de Dios para recibir, un yo condenado a muerte, un Reino que ganar, una batalla que luchar y enemigos espirituales que matar, camaradas que ayudar, rebeldes que conquistar…. La antigua batalla se libra a nuestro alrededor, y la aventura para la que nacimos nos llama”. – Sophia Consulting, La narrativa cósmica cristiana

John, Nick, and Mary discuss what it means to create a culture of prayer and offers bishops, priests, and lay leaders practical ideas about how to begin to pray as a team to discern God’s plan for their diocese or parish in these days. <a rel="payment" href="https://www.actsxxix.org/give">Support You Were Born for This with Fr.

This is what we might call the bad news without which the gospel seems to be just news and not good news. But because the bad news is so bad, the gospel is indeed extraordinary news. #YouWereBornForThis, #GodWantsHisWorldBack<a rel="payment" href="https://www.actsxxix.org/give">Support You Were Born for This with Fr.
