and they’re off! Yesterday, a group of our young adults gathered to kick off their journey to Marian consecration by praying with “33 Days to Morning Glory.” They will consecrate to Jesus through Mary on December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception! When planning this, I had Tabitha come up to me (Noreen) and said, “Marian consecration transforms communities,” and I couldn’t agree more. Tabitha and Mark shared the power of the consecration is by learning to follow Jesus through His perfect mother, we follow a perfect example, get to know Jesus through the eyes of His mother, and not only see Jesus as fully God, but allow Him to relate to us as when He also became fully man. Additionally, we accept Mother Mary as our spiritual mother her primary role is to bring her spiritual children to her Son. Amen? Marian consecration transforms communities because it transforms individual people’s entire lives. It transforms entire lives because following after Mary we say this: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” 26 people in the picture, 35 people in the group chat. Please keep us in your prayers as keep you in ours 🙏🏼

The Church Jesus left us is perfect in her sacraments HOWEVER there is room for improvement on how we experience Him through her. You are an essential part of the Body of Christ. What, how, who, when, why you experience the Church and God is vital to living with, in, and through Him. Sharing your experience will allow others to understand how to better walk with each other towards God. In this synod, how to walk with others to the Eucharist and outward to each other.

this weekend was FILLED with Jesus + good QT 1️⃣A group of us rallied up to @socalcatholic’s I AM: Eucharistic Congress and immersed ourselves into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. Through mass, adoration, praise by @nomadic_worship, talks by @oralecp, @emwilss, Fr. Bình Nguyen and Benito, we are better able to accept Jesus as the center of our lives. We even got to see former St. B YA, Sister Sarah, at work for the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange. Thank you to Benito and all those at the Diocese for a great event! 2️⃣ YA Mass and Cass Members of Red Mercy joined Pat Villa to lead praise for mass this Sunday, followed by a good ole @cass_street_bar and @harrystacoclub dinner. What a great way to wrap up the weekend: the Eucharist and sharing in a heavenly feast of joy and friendship.

3 days ago Pope Francis released his encyclical “C’est La Confiance” on the theology of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, or St. Therese of Lisieux, a Doctor of the Church. St. Therese’s writings inspire us to not only live the Little Way with love, but to also practice personal abandonment to confidence in the Lord. On this day of fasting called by the Church in Jerusalem and our local diocese, may we unite our sacrifice to prayer with the Body of Christ. Lastly, as we continue to participate in the Eucharistic Revival, especially in C2C and the Synod, may we bring to prayer what suffering and violence means for us as Eucharistic people.

a thread ➡️ John 15:5 • • • “It is Jesus in fact that you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is he who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is he who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle. It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be grounded down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, making the world more human and more fraternal.” -St. John Paul II🇻🇦

⚡️C2C Sign Ups Now OPEN⚡️Wednesday’s, 7-9PM at Bible Study, Oct 4-Nov 29 Connection to Christ (C2C) small groups meet together for 8-weeks to discuss a specific faith topic, pray together, read Scripture, and support one another. Here’s a snippet of the impact of C2C on a group from Lent ‘23. Since the first photo was taken in February, members of this C2C group: -built a stronger prayer life - became founding members of @redmercymusic - joined the @lc_cheshire as a seminarian - discovered their charismatic gifts from the Holy Spirit -gone on retreat together -reached personal, professional, and academic trials and milestones with their new close, faithful friends -grew deeper in personal relationship with Christ Marina was the co-facilitator of this group, and coincidentally, gave a testimony last night on her relationship with Jesus, the Eucharist, and the encouragement of community. She said, “It's so good to see others and be inspired by their faith....but that is a second hand relationship and all of us desire our own personal encounter with Christ....and what better way to encounter him than in the Eucharist?!” Groups start Oct. 4, and we are excited to say yes to what the Lord has in store. Amen? To sign up follow link in bio

👢Line dancing under the stars on Mt. Helix 💫 Last night @capspregnancyclinics hosted a young adult event at a private home in Mount Helix to spread awareness on helping women, men, and babies in unplanned pregnancies. We learned how we can support parents, children, and the CAPS organization through volunteering, financial support, and advancing their mission. There is plenty of support needed to bring life into this world between medical care during the pregnancy and post partum, support for the parents, and so much more. CAPS is also set up to provide emotional support and medical care to parents after an abortion. To learn more or get involved check out their website found on their IG page.

ALLELUIA - HE IS RISEN When the disciples see the empty tomb, they are instructed to go back to Galilee. What does it mean to go back to Galilee? Pope Francis teaches in his Easter Vigil homily, “to go forward we need to go back.” Galilee is where the disciples met just before they were sent out to preach to the Gentiles, and it is also where they first met and fell in love with Christ. “Yes, brothers and sisters, to go forward we need to go back, to remember; to have hope, we need to revive our memory. This is what we are asked to do: to remember and go forward! If you recover that first love, the wonder and joy of your encounter with God, you will keep advancing. So remember, and keep moving forward. Remember, and keep moving forward.”

C2C season has started and we couldn’t feel more excited! Truly feeling the Spirit move through our community.
Button
To see Him will be to know Him In Christ’s divinity, we believe each word He says in Scripture is with intention. In His humanity, we seek to know His sadness, hope, grace, mercy, faith, and surrender to the Father. We see Him betrayed, humiliated, and in agony. What is there to learn in Jesus’ final moments? What would your life look like if you dedicated the next 8 weeks to praying with scripture and meeting Jesus in His last words on the cross? Go on this journey this Lent. See Him and let Him see you.

Still thinking about something to do for lent? Maybe try adding to your life to grow in your faith with Jesus! C2C Season is around the corner~ We’re starting this Wednesday 2/20/23!

Are perhaps not afraid in some way? If we let Christ enter fully into our lives, are we not perhaps afraid He might take something away from us? ➕Pope Benedict XVI said: “No! if we let Christ into our lives we lose nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing of what makes life free, beautiful, and great. ➕Only in this friendship are the doors of life opened wide! ➕Do not be afraid of Christ! He takes nothing away, and gives you everything.” ➕What about Pope Benedict XVI’s words challenge you? ➕TONIGHT! Week 3 of our C2C small groups will be underway! Come at 7pm for food and fellowship followed by small group breakouts at 8pm.

➕We may often feel as if Christ only falls into the category of being wondrous , awe inspiring, and majestic. ➕While absolutely true, it falls short of revealing the full nature of God if we forget that He is also personal, familiar, and human. ➕Most of us are comfortable with God as Creator, many of us don’t know what to do with a God who calls us into intimate friendship with Him. ➕What are some fears you may have in opening yourself up to a friendship with Jesus?
Button
Friendship with Jesus. ➕This week we began turning our focus to reflecting on our personal viewership and experience with Jesus as our friend. ➕No matter where you may be with God, he calls each of us into deeper communion, a closer relationship, and yes, even an intimate friendship with Him! ➕Yet many of us find it challenging to think about God as our friend. ➕Sometimes we are more comfortable with a loftier God, a more cosmic Christ. ➕St. Paul wrote: “He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body, the Church. Colossians 1: 17-18 ➕Have you ever considered God to be a friend? How do you think about or understand God? ➕Check back tomorrow for reflection ✌🏼 on Paul’s words!

Life Skills: Basics of Prayer 101! ➕How do we build a thriving relationship with God? ➕Prayer baby! ➕Begin by recognizing that God is always with you ➕He is with you even when you’re not paying attention. When you attend to God, you are simply focusing on reality. ➕Any friendship involves 3 things: talking, listening, and simply being together. Swipe left to get the deets ⬅️ ➕And join us TONIGHT for week 2 of our fall C2C small groups where we will be deep diving on cultivating friendship with Jesus 🤍
Button
How much time should I spend in personal prayer? ➕A little goes a long way with God ➕if you’re not already in the practice of prioritizing a prayer time daily, start small and work up to more. Five, then ten, or fifteen. ➕As you experience the fruit of a deeper friendship with the Lord, your desire for God grows. ➕Hunger for God grows when you taste the sweetness of Jesus’ company and experience the joy of a Christ-centered life! ➕Join us for week two of C2C tomorrow night 10/12!
Button
If only I had the time! ➕We only have so much of it each day, all kinds of demands chip away the hours. ➕No wonder we experience conflicting desires over how to spend it. ➕One thing we all know for certain: relationships require time. Friendships don’t form or last unless people spend time together. ➕Marriages struggle when spouses don’t make time to talk and listen deeply to one another. ➕Parents who do not prioritize spending time with their children risk regretting that decision down the road. ➕We are made for relationships and relationships take time. 🤍So how about our relationship with God?
Button
As C2C begins we take a look at some of the pillars of the hearts and habits of discipleship and personal intimacy with Christ. ➕C2C Small Groups focus on all these elements but they each emphasize a different topics to foster growth and new habits. ➕Throughout the next 6 weeks we will look at: 🤍Friendship with Jesus 🤍Personal Prayer 🤍Devotion to Scripture 🤍The Eucharist 🤍Community 🤍Ongoing Conversion (including the Sacrament of Reconciliation) 🤍and Mission ➕What Heart & Habit do you feel Christ calling you towards this season?
Button
C2C season has officially begun! ➕This fall small group season we are waking together and individually in our relationship and friendship with Christ to reflect on the heart and habits of discipleship. We grow to the extent that we allow the heart and habits of Jesus and his people to become ever more our own. ➕It’s not to late to sign up for a small group or come for our drop in group Wednesday nights! ➕What are some of habits of discipleship you hope to grow this season?
Button
➕We all long for deep friendship with our brothers and sister in Christ. ➕These types of friendships form when we can gather together to express and solidify that which bonds is for eternity — our faith and hope in God through Jesus. ➕Our Connection to Christ small groups start TONIGHT!

“Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with and event, a person.” (Pope Benedict XVI) This person is, of course, Jesus Christ!

Matthew 4:19 ➕Long ago Jesus spoke these words to His disciples. Jesus speaks the same words to us today. We can hear it in the restlessness of our hearts amidst the frantic pace of modern life. ➕Our Fall Connection to Christ, or “C2C”, groups aim to echo this call of “Follow Me.” All of us are called to pursue “the way, and the truth, and the life.” John 14:6 ➕Join a C2C small group today for the fall season!

HE IS RISEN! 🕊 From Fr. Steve: “Dear friends, One of the memorial acclamations used in years past in the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass after the consecration of the bread and wine proclaimed: "Christ has died, Christ is Risen, Christ will come again." Notice the tense - Christ IS Risen, not Christ HAS Risen. This is very significant as we celebrate the Easter mystery. We are not just celebrating that Christ has risen, that is, we are not simply remembering that Jesus was raised from the dead some two thousand years ago. Instead, we are celebrating not only what happened then, but we are also celebrating a present reality: Christ IS risen! We are proclaiming that Christ is not only with the Father in heaven but also with us even now as we continue with all the faithful to await His final coming in glory. Our celebration of the Easter mystery calls us and challenges us to live more consciously and more fully in this reality every single day, and not just on Easter Sunday.

And we won’t forget about our Men’s Ministry! Come join them for their hiking series as it continues this weekend for a 4 mile hike! 🌳🥾

“The Church and the world have a great need of eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease.” St. Pope John Paul Il

And meet this weeks YA of the Week @seanmcgeeofficial ! Sean’s faith journey centers around understanding and accepting God’s love. “St. Thomas Aquinas defines love as ‘willing the good of another.’ It blows me away that God consciously chooses to guide and support me every moment of every day, just because I’m me.” Sean comes to St. B’s from Seal Beach, CA, by way of Notre Dame. He supports music ministry around the diocese, cooks way too much, and always has a CS Lewis reference handy.

Say hello to Sebastian! He has been instrumental in the Adoration Ministry here at St. B’s and gave a witness talk during Advent on his relationship and journey with the Blessed Sacrament. “The biggest takeaway of my faith journey so far has been to believe, have Faith. As we are saved by Grace through Faith. And Grace is given, not earned”. 2 truths and a lie! 1. I was in a Foreign Language Club overseas. 2. I’ve climbed Mount Fuji. 3. I once dressed up as a Penguin for Halloween Can you guess what the lie is??

📣 ANNOUNCEMENTS 📣 LENTEN PARISH MISSION A note from Fr. Steve: “We typically focus on what WE do during Lent: the traditional practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. While these are important, they are only meant to serve as an instrument for us to be attentive to something else: What does God want to do in us during this holy season?” ADORATION Come before the Blessed Sacrament in adoration from 8 AM to 8 PM with the Divine Mercy Chaplet being said at 3 PM.

During Lent we are “Walking the Way” through the stations, taking one panel at a time showing the unique features of our stations mural here at Saint Brigid Parish. For each station we will reference the scriptural origin and provide reflection questions for you to use during your prayer time at home, or while attending the Stations of the Cross here as a community.

Introducing our YA of the week @jerichourmenita ! This month Jericho gave a witness talk on what it means to fully trust in and surrender to God’s plan in his life. “My faith walk is a journey to trust in God to lead me. To know it is His plan in motion but it is my mission to execute it. My prayer is for God to show me the things that only I can do for Him. Fun Fact: I have a twin brother who lives in WA that's a HS band director.”

What drives your life? Jesus contrasts two ways of life; a life focused on accumulating things and a life focused on HIM. Christ tells us that the true riches are spiritual. I’m this week’s copy of The Way, Deacon Mike asks us to look at our priorities and ask are they leading us to happiness or emptiness? What drives your life?

Emily recently gave a witness about how to “wait well,” encouraging us all to lean into our personal relationships with the Lord and cultivate strong spiritual practices during seasons of uncertainty. Emily loves Christmas, Paddington 2, a good pair of sweatpants, and getting lost in a good book. Saint Therese of Lisieux has been a favorite Saint of hers since childhood, and she even had the privilege of visiting Lisieux a few years ago! She is also one of our “Called and Gifted” mentors + facilitators, helping members of our parish community discern their unique set of spiritual gifts!

Two posts in one day, who are we?! Introducing the Young Adult of the Week: @grant_t_still ! “Hello friends! My name is Grant Still. I have been attending Young Adult Bible Study at St Brigid for three years now and I haven’t looked back since. During my time here, the Holy Spirit has guided me to fellowship among not only the many young adults in our Connection to Christ (C2C) series, but also my little brother from Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego. It has been an edifying and wonderful experience growing in discipleship as we’ve adventured together over the last year. In my free time, I enjoy paddleboarding, hiking, and spending time at the beach, the Zoo, and the many breweries and restaurants that San Diego has to offer.”

[God speaks these words to you today]: “This is what I’m doing, Trust Me.” Look for evidence of God saying “keep at it, keep trusting all the way into the promise.”

We may have experienced burnout from work or life, or even socializing. But what about spiritual burnout? Have you ever found yourself in a period (whether short or prolonged) where you felt like you were going through the motions of mass, small group, etc. or couldn’t hear God in prayer? Spiritual and faith burnout is real! How did you find rest and restoration in your faith?

Sunday’s second reading states, “There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord.” While we are all called to service, we will each be gifted in a unique way. In our Called & Gifted* gifts discernment workshop participants learn about the charisms, or spiritual gifts, that the Holy Spirit has given them. Some of those charisms are: Administration, Encouragement, Leadership, Mercy, Hospitality, Craftsmanship, Evangelism, Intercessory Prayer, Music, and Writing. “To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit.” Of the twenty-four charisms covered in the workshop, most people discover they have two to five that they regularly use to play their part in bringing God’s love and provision to the world. FOR REFLECTION: 1.) How is God asking you to bloom where you are planted? 2.) What are some clues to the spiritual gifts God has given me? 3.) How do I listen for instruction from God? How do I respond?

Keep choosing God. The root choice is to trust that at all times God is with you and will give you what you need most. The question is whether you choose God or your own doubting self- sometimes our egos, emotions, passions, and feelings take us always from truly choosing where God is calling us. What is of God will last. Choose it and it will be yours.
