Pizza and Chat – Once again in the Fall we will schedule a short series of Pizza and Chat sessions. This year I hope to have sessions in neighborhoods AND at the Church. These sessions will be aimed at parents and their children in order to help parents build a stronger Spiritual life for themselves and their children. Why is that important? In today’s society here in America, there are so many secular challenges which pull us and our children away from God and even fool us into thinking there is no devil working actively in this world, drawing us away from God. Every one of us absolutely needs strong and vibrant relationship with God, which will always be placed above all other distractions the devil places in our path. In fact this whole idea about God being the first priority in our lives is at the heart of a successful relationship with God. Does this mean we all should all retire to a Monastery and pray on our knees day and night? No! We can be in prayer regularly and still function in this world. In fact we function better through prayer. Corporate prayer in Church and reception of the Sacraments is something we need to do at least weekly as well. Details to follow.
