I still haven’t really figured out this WordPress thing. I wanted to post this somewhere off on a side column, but I think it comes down to the theme I chose, and I am not changing the look of anything for the moment.

That being said, the following guide was something I put together a few years ago for a prayer group I attend. We used it as a way to touch base in a different way with our spiritual selves. My friends seemed to enjoy it, so I thought I would give it to you.

The Mission: All Things Possible with God. 
A Guide to explore and express Words
that are the foundations of our faith.
“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible,
but with God all things are possible.'” – Matthew 19:26

First, please consider the word Faith.
How does faith grow or strengthen?
Is faith activated only as a response to a situation or hardship,
or should faith be in use at all the times of our life,
happy or sad, everyday as well as extraordinary?

Saint Ignatius taught that “finding God in all things”
is one key to developing a healthy spirituality.
How can seeing God in all situations,
and recognizing God in the faces of others,
even our enemies, deepen our faith?

Your mission, ____________________________,
* Find one, two, or three Bible verses which mention or point to faith.
If in a group, pick one to share aloud with the group.
(Please include chapter and verse.)
* Staying on topic, and using a general rule of 80 words or less
(or 5 minutes or less), written or spoken:
Explain what one of the faith Bible verses means to you.
or Tell a Bible story that relates to faith.
or Share an experience or personal anecdote related to faith.
or Explain an idea related to faith.
(You are encouraged to use pictures or objects to help your explanation
or tell your story.)
Godspeed, ________________________________.

“The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of God endures forever.” – Isaiah 40:8 

There are more “words” to follow. We did this as a group, one “word” a month, but one “word” a week, especially during Lent would be a special way to examine our faith during this wonderful season. Developing and sharing our thoughts about each of the words helped us bring our spiritual feelings more into focus.
