Be Who You Are and Be That Well
Saturday, February 29, 2020, 9:00am-Noon, Room 266, Free
Facilitated by Melissa Borgmann-Kiede of the Loyola Spirituality Center, participants will be guided through an examen-based discernment exercise identifying moments of knowing God’s great love. Through creative reflection prayer practices, participants will come to a greater understanding of a classic discernment process taught by St. Ignatius of Loyola. Participants will have an opportunity to reflect on their personal, lived experiences and be introduced to a protocol for discerning vocation within a group. It is our hope that, in offering this experience, the community of Pax Christi will become empowered to better hear and respond to the call of God at both the personal and communal levels.  There is no fee to attend but please RSVP online – CLICK HERE.
