Father Brian Christensen
will be presenter on:
“Serving the Body of Christ”
Sacraments at the Service of Communion:
The Sacraments at the Service of Communion, Holy Orders
and Matrimony, are directed toward the salvation of
others. Those who receive the sacrament of Holy Orders
are consecrated in Christ’s name ‘to feed the Church by
the word and grace of God.’ On their part, ‘Christian
spouses are fortified and, as it were, consecrated for the
duties and dignity of their state by a special sacrament’”
Sparks from Father Mark
In February of 2012, I made my first 8 day Ignatian
retreat through the Institute of Priestly Formation out of
Creighton University in Omaha. NE. It was a powerful
experience for me in so many ways. It was a retreat in which
I encountered, as for the first time; the Lord was speaking directly to my heart. I heard the Lord invite me into a deep and
personal relationship with him. I truly wanted to know Jesus,
and not simply know of him.
It was during this retreat that the Lord asked if I wanted my heart to be healed. For years I have been praying for a
physical healing of my heart, after 2 heart attacks and 6 stints
later. However, through prayer, I have come to realize that
what I really needed was a spiritual healing from a wounded
heart.
Since that retreat in February of 2012 I have been
very faithful to a desert day once a month at Broom Tree in
Irene, SD combined with Spiritual Direction. It is through this
encounter of trying to listen to the Lord in the silence of my
heart and working with a Spiritual Director during the past 15
months that the idea of participating in a 30-day silent retreat
began to service in my heart.
This past spring Bishop Gruss gave me the permission
to participate in a 30-day Ignatian retreat this summer at
Creighton University in Omaha. I leave Monday June 24th and
return August 1st.
Fr. Jim Breem a retired priest from the Diocese of
Sioux Falls will be here for 3 weekends and 2 full weeks. Frs.
Tim Hoag and Marcin Garbacz from our diocese of Rapid City
will cover the other 2 weekends.
In next weeks Sparks I will share more information on
my 30 day retreat.
We welcome through the waters of baptism: Joser Bradley Lemmel,
son of Brad and Mandy.
Please pray for Jim Palmer, husband of Deb. May Jim and all the
faithfully departed rest in peace. Amen
(CCC 1534-1535; LG 11; GS 48).
