Everyday Spirituality 4U: Holy Living through a Salesian Lens
 |
What is Spirituality?
What is YOUR spirituality?
Some define it as the Holy Spirit finding expression in your uniqueness. St. Francis de Sales, that consummate spiritual director, teaches the disciples of Jesus.
To Be Their Best Selves!
This Salesian way of life invites us to let the Spirit make Jesus come alive in our own hearts, minds and actions. Make your life a continuous offering to God as Jesus did.
Come to know God's presence and love in every moment and REJOICE!
This is an Everyday Spirituality 4U
Thanks to all who joined us for the 2012 National Salesian Convention!

I'm a first time attendee and the entire gathering far exceeded my expectations…

Down-to-earth, everyday, practical suggestions on how to live your life and truly experience God, joy and peace.
You can never get too much Salesian spirituality…it feeds my soul.

A Saturday Morning with Geoff Rose, OSFS and Fr. Joe Krupp
B who UR: A Spirituality just 4U. In spite of all the advances in our society which are designed to make our lives easier and give us more time for the important things, most actually do just the opposite. It would seem that we are more distracted, less connected, and more exhausted than in previous generations. We need to recover a sense of the sacred in the everyday experiences. We do not need to be sold another program, indeed no one wants or probably needs another demand for their time and energy. Let's explore who we are: our personality, with our vocation, is a hint to the part God has 4U to play in the world. See how developing our personal spirituality is not only important to us, but also the world! (Sound like a bit of an "oversell"?? It's not! )
Young people from the local area will be invited to take part in this segment bringing their own special personalities to the group.

A Joyful Sunday Morning with Mary Sellars Malloy
Count it All Joy. In our everyday world, JOY is a brand of dish soap, half of the name of a favorite candy bar, a thing to be attained by purchasing the luxury car, the dream home, or the perfect pair of shoes. Why is it, then, that some of the most joyful people we meet are those we serve in the soup kitchens and on the mission fields? Why is JOY, that Fruit of the Spirit, so evident in their faces, their singing, and their praying? Mary Malloy invites us to take a fresh look at the charism of joy - how we develop it, nurture it, express it, and celebrate it in the midst of busy days filled with everyday tasks, and in seasons of sorrow, challenge and change.
