This is the first and greatest c ommandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself. ’” (Matthew 27:37-40)Doesn’t it seem increasingly true that the firs t part of this passage is relatively easy in comparison to the second? Do you think – or hope - we’re given a pass on either part just because – in our opinion - so many of our neighbors are thinking and acting so v ery WRONG? Hmmm…Please consider joining a group of your fellow parishion ers as together we attempt to find a bit of spiritual renewal and strength over the summer. We will be following a set of readings and meditations i n An Invitation to Love by William Barry\, SJ who was one of the most expe rienced and best-loved spiritual directors of our time.“An Invitation to Love provides a practical and adaptable sequence of prayer sessions on th e great commandment of the Christian faith: to love God and love our neigh bor. All other aspects of a healthy and hopeful life grow from our practic es of love. When we experience God’s love for us\, we can respond with a growing love for God. Loving God will transform us into people who can lo ve our neighbors\, too\, whoever they are. The voice that speaks in these pages so personally and warmly is that of William A. Barry\, SJ\, who for decades has gently accompanied people in their prayer. His understanding o f Scripture\, expertise in nurturing spiritual growth\, and joyful confide nce in God’s desire for our friendship prepares a welcoming and walkable path to conversation with God and renewal in our hearts.” - Amazon.comC lass will begin on Thursday\, July 2nd at 6:30-7:30pm on Zoom.  We look f orward to seeing you there.
