Hearing With The Heart: Conversations Over Coffee
Join us as we explore topics that invite us to live deeper our Catholic, Christian faith.
Hosts Janet Jones (Director of Faith Formation) and Bridgett Passauer (Coordinator of Adult Faith Formation, Evangelization, and Community Life), from Church of the Ascension in Virginia Beach, have incredible conversations over coffee. We invite you to grab a mug of your favorite brew and share in their stories, laughs, and connection with Jesus and each other.
Hearing With The Heart: Conversations Over Coffee
CORRECTED: Lenten Journey: The Agony in the Garden
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Janet and Bridgett begin the journey through the Sorrowful Mysteries with the realization that, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus truly had a choice. We sometimes lose sight of His humanity and the real struggle and anguish He experienced, and how that can strengthen us when we too face the challenges in our own lives.
Baby Step: Pray with the Agony in the Garden. Surrender our own trials and need for self-reliance so we, like Jesus, can trust the will of the Father.
What is the Rosary? (Glossary of the CCC) A prayer in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which repeats the privileged Marian prayer Ave Maria or Hail Mary in “decades” of ten prayers, each preceded by the Pater Noster (“Our Father”) and concluded by the Gloria Patri (Glory Be to the Father), accompanied by meditation on the mysteries of Christ’s life. The rosary was developed by medieval piety in the Latin church as a popular substitute for the liturgical prayer of the Hours (2678, 2708; cf. 1674).
QUOTE FROM SAINT JPII “The Rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christocentric prayer. In the sobriety of its elements, it has all the depth of the Gospel message in its entirety, of which it can be said to be a compendium.”
“One thing is clear: although the repeated Hail Mary is addressed directly to Mary, it is to Jesus that the act of love is ultimately directed, with her and through her. The repetition is nourished by the desire to be conformed ever more completely to Christ, the true program of the Christian life.”
Thanks for joining us. Have a blessed day!
