6/1/2002 Book Club notes

-Our Christian Communities must be schools for prayer until the heart falls in love. Through prayer we come to love God and thus to also love our fellow man.

-Prayer is like two people in love. It doesn’t matter what they do; they are happy to be together

-We are creatures of God

-We must go into the desert, in a sense, and have time for silent adoration

– Adoration is first an encournter with God. Adoration is also a gesture of politeness to God. The biggest obstical to adoration is pride.

-We recieve grace from the Father, through the Son, in the Spirit.

-The three foods the devil temps Jesus with are representative of the three theological virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity

-We must adore and contemplate Jesus.

-In the Eucharist, Jesus gives himself completely to us: Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.

-The highest truth is not an idea; it is a person — God.

-To reject a single article of the Catholic Faith is to reject Jesus. Every “dogma” is a personal secret shared to us from Jesus.

-Words should only be spoken to say what is true. When words are spoken for any other reason, they are not an act of love, but an act of dominance.

-Gestures are often more importaint than words. We must show love and respect in what we do, as well as what we say.

-Mystery is what makes love beautifull

About Legion of Mary

The joys and the hopes, the griefs and the anxieties of the of the people you see in your Legion of Mary work, especially those who are poor or in any way afflicted, these are the joys and hopes, the griefs and anxieties of the followers of Christ. Indeed, nothing genuinely human fails to raise an echo in their hearts. For theirs is a community composed of men. United in Christ, they are led by the Holy Spirit in their journey to the Kingdom of their Father and they have welcomed the news of salvation which is meant for every man. All knowledge that does not have Love as its end is useless.
