33 Days to Morning Glory Zoom Discussions This Lent we are inviting and encouraging you to make a decision to follow Jesus with the first person to bring him into the world who followed him from conception to his death, resurrection, ascension, and his glory where she is at his right hand as the mother of the King of Kings. We, as Catholics, have always maintained a unique relationship with the of Jesus, the man, the redeemer, and our God. There is a powerful and enlightening exercise which connects us with the one person who was declared FULL OF GRACE by God's messenger, Archangel Gabriel. The exercises are in a book written by F. Michael Gaitley and is titled "33 Days to Morning Glory". In this exercise we will learn of the importance and significance of Mary's role in bringing Jesus to life and into our lives. Because she had the intimate and fullest relationship with the Holy Spirit and brought Jesus into the world, we have an opportunity to focus on her life and what it means to be filled with God, His love and relationship with us and the life we live. The exercise will consist of individual study or reading with weekly "on line" sharing of what we have learned. To participate, you need to purchase the book, do the daily exercises, meet once a week "on line" to share what has been revealed to us. To register for the “on line” discussion, send your name and email address to Chris at the rectory, chris.walter@stmatthiaschurch.org. Have a happy and blessed Lent and join us on this journey, discussions will begin on Wednesday evening , February 24, 2021 at 8:00 p.m.
