A few years ago, I was looking for an Advent prayer that my small kids would find easy to memorize that we could use when we lit the Advent wreath. Finding nothing, I wrote my own. Several family have taken the little cards we wrote it out on home with them. Tonight, by three year old mastered it for the first time. And her joy reminded me that maybe some of you would like to pray it too.

Spend some time this Lent in your own experience, and spot the little ways for injecting mercy that will change your heart and overflow into the lives of others.

Red Deer Catholic Schools Faith Day
All day03/10/16Red Deer, AB, CanadaRed Deer Catholic Schools is hosting their annual faith day. I will be presenting two sessions for their teachers and staff:
Fishers of the Indifferent, Disillusioned, and Skeptical: Building Disciples in the Age after Cultural Christianity
It might be a bold assertion, but what if cultural Christianity is dead? Though many of us know that our society is no longer dominantly Christian, many of our approaches to faith education and ministry have not changed. How do we grow our own faith at the same time that we reach out to the indifferent, disillusioned and skeptical? The call to be fishers of people remains; it’s time to look a new ways of building disciples, in our own hearts and homes, and in Catholic schools and classrooms.Walking with Pope Francis: Making Merciful Classrooms
If mercy is God’s name, as Pope Francis so lovingly proposes, then how often do our children hear His name in our classrooms? Does our presentation of God lead to increased knowledge about God, or an invitation to encounter His merciful love? Drawing on the traditional corporal and spiritual acts of mercy, we will look together at the ways that classrooms can become of a school of mercy for kids longing for love. - 11No events
