Ascension Vocation Discernment Retreat Notes: St. Clare Woman of Prayer

Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity were uplifted with the presence of young women discerning our way of life as consecrated women religious May 18-20, 2012. Given the 800th Anniversary of St. Clare's call to follow Jesus and become the first feminine follower of St. Francis is still very much alive in our hearts, retreatants focused on St. Clare's prayer: gazing, considering, contemplating so as to imitate Christ . Friday evening's reflection time outdoors on the Motherhouse grounds and in St. Francis Chapel invited visitors to gaze in quiet attentiveness, open to the wonderful presence of God. These Scripture texts were considered for keeping one's eyes on Jesus alone: Matthew 14:22-33 Peter John 2:1-12 Mary Mark 10:46-52 Blind Man Mark 1:40-42 A Leper Luke 9:28-36 The Transfiguration Saturday hearts were encouraged to become aware that God is contemplating us! All were invited to listen, be open and become attentive to the promptings of God'

Vocation Retreat Notes: Clare, Shining Light Reflecting Jesus' Light

Hoping to discover more clearly your life's vocation? Look to Saint Clare, who wanted “only Jesus Christ, and to live by the gospel”. This was an important focus for the February 25-27, 2011 weekend of reflection. ‘Bright in name, more brilliant in life, most brilliant in character”, Saint Clare’s personal letters to Agnes of Prague and Scripture were important to personal prayer time e.g. 1 Corinthians 15:35-50 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. Hebrews 11:4-31 Therefore there was born even of one man and him as good as dead at that, as many descendents as the stars of heaven in number, and innumberable as the sand which is by the seashore. Revelation 12:1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Matthew 2:1-19 Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the e

Franciscan Retreat Notes: For Me, Life is Christ

Sister Mary Ann Spanjers, OSF, and Sister Julie Ann Sheahan, OSF, guided retreatants focusing on the conversion stories of St. Paul, St. Francis and St. Clare at the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity Discernment Retreat ‘For Me, Life is Christ’ (Phil.1:21). Some shared references: Paul was a tent-maker. Francis and Clare re-built ruined churches. You and I build our lives. Pope Benedict has held up the life of St. Paul as a lesson to modern Christians...in particular, the pope has cited the apostle's conversion as relevant to Christians of every age. Contemporary men and women, the pope has argued, are also open to that kind of life-changing experience, which is always based on the personal encounter with Jesus Christ. (Vatican Letter-June 27-2008) John's prologue: "And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth." "For me to live is Christ,"
