Open Coffee and Donuts - Retreat Follow-up

Gentlemen –  There will be a follow-up Silent Retreat breakfast meeting at my house from 8:30-10:00AM on May 31^st.  It is highly recommended that you attend and bring your Program of Life.  We will be seeking your feedback on the retreat, as well as, providing guidance and tips for keeping the retreat going in your hearts and lives.  This will include discussing related organizations such as the Men Meeting Jesus (MMJ),  the Regnum Christi Movement, and the Legionaries of Christ (order of priests that lead the retreats) that are available to help with your spiritual progress throughout the coming year.  There will be many “veterans” there to help give you much positive guidance.

Please let me know if you plan on attending.

In Christ,

Tony

NOTE! You do not have to have attended a Silent Retreat in the past to attend the breakfast.  It is open to all men interested in methods and programs to keep their faith walk inspired.

‘Jesus came into the world to bring the sheep back,’ says the Holy Father

May 4th - Message to over 100 thousand people in St. Peter's Square and to all of us...

‘Jesus came into the world to bring the sheep back,’ says the Holy Father - Catholic News Agency

"...The Pope spoke about the Ascension of Jesus who, he said, "came into the world to bring man to God, not as a philosopher or a master of wisdom - but really, as pastor who wants to bring the sheep back."

"God in man, man in God: This is not merely a theoretical truth, but is real. So the Christian hope, founded in Christ, is not an illusion but, as stated in the Letter to the Hebrews' is the "anchor of our lives' (cf Heb 6:19), an anchor that penetrates Heaven where Christ has gone before us."

The Pope then turned his thoughts to Mary, whose presence in our midst he said, is part of the "solid anchoring" for our existence..."

No Time??? Come Find It This Friday

Gents – ask yourself, how in control of your time and your life are you?  Are YOU in the rat race???  Do you like it?  Many of the men I talk to are wiped out, overwhelmed, and out of control of their time.  Seems too much to do and too little time – especially for God.  Well let me give you a piece of advice once given to me – give God your best time, not your leftovers.  How many times have you heard that preached?  I can tell you that all of us can be doing better.  Well here is your opportunity to get back on track and live a life in the RIGHT ORDER.  Vince is going to give a very comprehensive teaching on how to put First Things First.  Yes, it’s time management on steroids and if you listen and apply these techniques, your life WILL change dramatically.

Come to MMJ this Friday, May 9^th from 7-9PM at my house and learn how to be the commander of your time and your life.  

Turnout is shaping up to be pretty strong, so please let me know ASAP so I can plan the free pizza!

In Christ,

Tony

ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT

A few years ago on June 4th, a foursome got together for a round of golf. One of the players’ son died on this day in 1994.  Rather than mourn the loss, they decided to celebrate the son’s life. A couple of
years later, others who had also experienced the loss of a child joined the group. The idea was born to honor these “angels” with an annual Angels Among Us golf outing. This tournament is a memorial
of all our “angels” - those sons and daughters who have already been taken to heaven. In the name of the “angels”, all tournament  proceeds benefit Life Teen Covecrest. ministry committed to leading all teens and their families closer to Christ.
