"And he said to all, 'If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?'” (Luke 9:23-25)
MEN - A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY - EXODUS90
For the past year or two, several men from IHM and surrounding parishes have been on a spiritual journey that has impacted their spiritual, marital, familial and physical wellbeing; this journey has been EXODUS90. This journey continues for these men and yet commences on January 17th for those interested in participating for the first time.
This journey is challenging, effective and gratifying. By the time you reach Easter, you will not be the same man you were on January 17th. This is an invitation to experience the difference. This difference is transformational through prayer, asceticisms and fraternity. Prayer: by daily reflections on passages from the Old Testament book of Exodus and contemplating its relevance in your own life today; Asceticisms: changing current habits and practices in order to reset your lifestyle to make room for prayer and family; Fraternity: to have the support and accountability of other men throughout your journey. This journey lasts for 90 days, ending on Holy Saturday (4/16). The first meeting, which will be virtual and informational, will be on Monday (1/17) at 7PM. Please complete the information below or contact the Parish Rectory Office at 650-593-6157 for the Zoom meeting ID and passcode. There is a weekly meeting thereafter on Tuesday evenings at 7PM, it has not been determined whether these will be in person or virtual.
For more information, please explore the website (Exodus90.com). Participation will require having downloaded the Exodus90 app and Zoom. As our Lord Jesus Christ was preparing his disciples, there were several occasions when he had to tell them, “Do not be afraid!”. Consider this opportunity.
