For I am already being poured out like a drink offering,
and the time for my departure is near. 7 I have fought
the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the
faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will
award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also
to all who have longed for his appearing.
No tickets to purchase! Free Will Donation taken at the
door to raise money for the new building to house KC

Spiritual Practices
All of the sick members of our
parish — especially these:
Ignatian Spirituality
Throughout Ignatius’ life, he received from God many
life-changing insights about creation, the nature of our
relationship with Christ, and how to discern God’s will.
From those insights, he developed methods of prayer,
rules for discernment, and ways to spread the Gospel
through service, which he put into his Spiritual
Exercises. The Exercises then, are designed to bring
each person who prays them to ask the deeper
questions such as: “What more does God want? How
can I serve him better?” .

slowly, attentively, gently listening to hear a word or a

deeply, to hear ‘with the ear of our hearts;’ listening
