cards. Purchase a new toy or gift card, attach the

Please Pray For:
Spiritual Practices
All of the sick members of our
parish — especially these:
Ignatian Spirituality
Our world is full of suffering and evil. The Christian term
for this disorder is sin. In his autobiography, Ignatius
described himself as scrupulous – too focused on his
sinfulness. The only way he could escape it was to embrace the mercy of God. He explained that sin can be
seen through two prisms: 1) Lack of gratitude in the
face of God’s continuing gifts. 2) Lack of reverence for
God. During Advent, the church, as well as the Spiritual
Exercises, are focused on sin and forgiveness, and preparing for Christ’s coming. In the Exercises through
prayer, we try to uncover ways that we lack reverence
or gratitude, and get pulled from God and toward self.
As we do so, the Exercises direct us to ask for two graces: 1) shame that we’ve hurt God through our sinfulness, and 2) confusion that we could still sin, even as
we are so loved.
The next SEEL meeting is Saturday, December 13,
9:30 a.m. to noon in the Youth Center. We encourage
all participants and alums to join us. Contact Ellen at
www.spiritual-exercises.com or on Facebook (https://
www.facebook.com/IgnatianspiritualityNW) for more
information.

James: Pearls for Wise Living – one of the most
practical books of the Bible. Like the book of Proverbs,
it is a book of wisdom, a collection of teachings on
issues faced by ordinary Christians in everyday life.
This study offers “pearls for wise living” by applying
the wisdom of James to the present. For anyone who
has struggled to live a truly Christian life, James offers
a wealth of practical solutions.
