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.

Lenten Journey: The Fourth Station - Carrying the Cross
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The journey of the Sorrowful Mysteries continues with the Carrying of the Cross. This Fourth Station is Jesus carrying His Cross. We are told by Jesus, "...whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me" (Matthew 10:38). OUCH, but, Janet and Bridgett will share how we can use our crosses for God's honor and glory.
Baby Step: READ from Everyone’s Way of the Cross by Clarence Enzler (Ave Maria Press)
Reflection:
I told you at the start, my other self, my life was not complete until I crowned it by my death. Your "way" is not complete unless you crown it by your life.
Accept each moment as it comes to you, with faith and trust that all that happens has my mark on it. A simple fiat, this is all it takes; a breathing in your heart, "I will it, Lord."
So seek me not in far-off places. I am close at hand. Your workbench, office, kitchen, these are altars where you offer love. And I am with you there.
Go now! Take up your cross and with your life complete your way.
Thanks for joining us. Have a blessed day!
