The Gift of Friendship | Training in Devotion
https://trainingindevotion.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/the-gift-of-friendship
Your training is never finished. The Gift of Friendship. June 16, 2015. Written By: Camilla MacKenzie. How is this done? You might ask. Well, luckily we have many examples of self-sacrificing friendships in the Bible, David and Jonathan, Ruth and Naomi, and Mary and Elizabeth. The Visitation in particular, gives us a clear view of what friendship should look like:. Should come to me? That what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled. And Mary said:. There are two key elements of friendship shown...

God’s Love | Training in Devotion
https://trainingindevotion.wordpress.com/2015/05/12/gods-love
Your training is never finished. May 12, 2015. Written By: Jay Ratajczak. Love is self-giving. It does not count costs and “it does not calculate” (To paraphrase St. John Paul II). It doesn’t worry about itself, it loses itself in bring the other person joy. In other words, it’s hard. Love creates new goodness, it does not simply take away the old goodness. When something is surrendered in love, it is given. 8211; C.S. Lewis. 8211; St. John Paul II. 8211; 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. 8211; John 13:34. Click to ...

https://trainingindevotion.wordpress.com/2014/05/22/the-divine-mercy-sunday-canonizations
Your training is never finished. The Divine Mercy Sunday Canonizations. May 22, 2014. We have two new canonized saints in the Catholic Church! This is something that is such a blessing to the Church and really shows how God is working within the present times, even though it can be easy to get caught up in the brokenness around us. Everyone was trying to get to a spot that they were satisfied with. A lot of people camped out the night before in order to get close to the Vatican. Click to email (Opens in ...

Your training is never finished. If Christ Has Not Been Raised, Then Man’. June 1, 2015. Written By: Anna Vandegrift. Do you ever become discouraged by all the apparent evil, injustice, and futility in the world? With all of the misery, emptiness, and futility that seems to surround human existence is there any reason to hope? What is there to make life still worth living? If Christ has not been raised, than all man’s striving is vain and futile. Click to email (Opens in new window). Follow Blog via Email.

This One is for the Girls | Training in Devotion

Your training is never finished. This One is for the Girls. May 18, 2015. Written By: Camilla MacKenzie. I realize that you have probably already seen this. Watch it again. Let the words sink in. Let me repeat my favorite line: You are powerful and strong and capable. Often, in women’s sessions at retreats or other places, we are told we are beautiful, but how often do we hear that we are powerful? This is all good, but now you are probably wondering why this only addressed to the girls. Well:. This begi...

On Beauty | Training in Devotion
https://trainingindevotion.wordpress.com/2015/04/20/on-beauty
Your training is never finished. April 20, 2015. Written By: Camilla MacKenzie. Recently, I was in line to get into St. Peter’s Basilica with my theology class. A young woman approached our group to do a survey for a paper she was writing. The question she posed was Should people be charged to go into a church if they are not there to worship but only to see the artwork? This stuck me as an odd question. For me and my friends in the class, the two go hand in hand. The Calling of Saint Matthew. Now, I’m n...

Behold your mother | Training in Devotion
https://trainingindevotion.wordpress.com/2015/04/28/behold-your-mother
Your training is never finished. April 28, 2015. Written By: Anna Vandegrift. I have often struggled with understanding devotion to Mary. I have come to realize, however, that Mary cannot be ignored, because her motherhood is a gift which Jesus has given us, and a gift which we simply cannot refuse. St. John, in his account of Our Lord’s passion gives us several clues as to the importance of Mary’s role as our mother:. Click to email (Opens in new window).
