Jesus Week and 'The' Debate

Alright so if you haven't heard yet next week is Jesus Week! It's a time every year that all of the Christian ministries on UL's campus come together in prayer and other activities to work together for the conversion of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. This year we're so excited to have as our guest speaker Dr. Peter Kreeft Philosophy professor and renowned Christian author. If you haven't read his work yet make sure to visit his site and get acquainted. Some refer to him as the modern day C.S. Lewis but no matter what you call him, his work is profound and thought provoking. Among other things he will be debating Dr. Keith Korcz, UL's own philosophy professor and all around pretty cool guy on the subject to end all subjects (or begin them) 'Does God Exist'. You'll have 3 other opportunities to hear Dr. Kreeft next Thursday and Friday but I have a feeling this is going to be one of the main events!

We'll also be taking some time on Monday to pray for the campus in unity with all of the ministries. Meet us here at Wisdom at 5:30 to walk over to the Wesley or just meet us there at 6pm. We'll have a 'progressive prayer walk' where we'll pray and visit each of the campus ministry buildings ending at the BCM around 7:30 where we'll end our prayer and have some grub. One Challenge for you borrowed from the students of the BCM is to fast on Monday and offer your sacrifice in prayer for the success of Jesus Week. If we really come together in prayer we can touch hearts and change this campus!

Wednesday of course we'll have our free bag lunch in the quad with a message given by Wesley's own Daniel Hixon. Be there or be hungry! 12pm in the Quad (unless of course you're in Mass at Wisdom!)

Thursday the debate will kick off at 7pm followed by pizzza and a talk by Dr. Kreeft.

Friday for Lunch we'll have Dr. Kreeft over here for our Lunch with the Lord at 12:45 - after Noon Mass and you'll have a chance to hear his testimony and ask him any questions that you might have about the faith.
Friday Night at 7pm he'll be speaking again open to the public on 'Divine Truth: The Hearts Deepest Longing"

Don't miss any of these amazing opportunities to grow in faith this week!

Lenten Reflection - Journey to Jerusalem (Adore Worship)

JOURNEY TO JERUSALEM
WELCOME

Welcome to Lent.
The “season” of Lent has ancient Apostolic roots. The writings of St. Athanasius, St. Cyril of Alexandria, and St. Cyril of Jerusalem give us a glimpse at a “retreat-like” preparation for non-Christians who were to be Baptized and
fully initiated into the Church at Easter. By the close of the 4th century, Lent was an established liturgical season— a sacred time of inner pilgrimage mirroring the 40-day journeys of Noah, Moses, and Christ himself.
While popularly understood as a time where we “give up” our favorite things, Lent is much more than abstinence from soda, snacks, or sweets. Lent is a time of inner transformation. You might say the outward expressions of penance and fasting are meant to erupt from the inner breakthroughs in our relationship with Christ.
Nowhere else is this more poetically prayed than in the Lenten Preface I as we pray, “Each year you give us this joyful season when we prepare to celebrate the paschal mystery with mind and heart renewed ... As we recall the great events that gave us new life in Christ, you bring the image of your Son to perfection within us.”
Yes, welcome to Lent.
Lent is a time where our “mind and heart are renewed.”
Lent is a time where we experience a “new life in Christ.”
Lent is a time where the Father brings “the image of the Son to perfection within us.”
