Discovering Christ - Fourth Week
Thanks to the grace of God, and the hard work, dedication and financial resources of many people, last week we held the forth session of Discovering Christ. Attendance was great - and so was dinner :-) - and attendees heard and discussed a talk from Fr. Erik about "Why Do I Need a Savior?"
It was really amazing to see how God is working through Discovering Christ. In my small group, we saw some clear examples of the intervention of God in the lives of participants. I'm very excited to see what He does in the next few weeks and at the retreat as He draws people closer to Him.
Here are a few pictures from last week:

The greatest prayer is the mass,when I was a born again christian we prayed in this fashion "prayer circles" I fornd that the people more or less "fed" off and took ques from eachother in there prayers with the others chiming in a Yes Jesus or Praise the lord" in there. Jesus sain when you pray go off to a private place and pray and the Father hearing you in private will answer you in public". I think that this form of prayer m ay make you feel good but good feelings does not mean that it is the "Holy Spirit" that is causing them,could be simple human emotion.
Oh, the greatest prayer is the Mass, I'd definitely agree. But you're mistaken about what is going on in this picture.
Discovering Christ tends to draw people from all walks of faith - from seekers to committed Christians. In this picture, the leader is offering a short, simple prayer on behalf of the group at the end of their evening together. I'd highly doubt anyone is getting carried away by emotion. ;-)
Thanks for reading the blog!
