THE ASSISI PROJECT
MY GOD & MY ALL
A COURSE ON DISCIPLESHIP
New! Prayer & Action
New Date! Saturday, April 1st at 8:00am
Bernard of Quintavalle was a friend of Francesco Bernadone, the man who we now know as Saint Francis of Assisi. Prompted by the Holy Spirit to better understand Francis and his gospel-centered life, Bernard invited Francis for a hot meal and overnight stay at his house. During the night, Bernard awoke and found Francis praying. He was on his knees. His hands were raised toward heaven. And he repeated again and again: “My God and my all!” Bernard was so deeply moved that he asked Francis to help him learn to live as a true disciple of Christ. He ultimately became the first follower of the Poor Man of Assisi.
More than 800 years later, Saint Francis of Assisi still teaches us that discipleship is not just about the gift of faith. It is not just about coming to church or memorizing a catechism. It is really about loving God and loving neighbor. It is about meeting Christ in prayer and in the people we encounter along life’s journey. And it is about joy and suffering, communion and fraternity, prayer and action. Ultimately, it is about living the Gospel, sharing God’s love, and rebuilding the Church.
In this spirit, all are invited to join Father Jim, Cliff Garvey, and the Assisi Project for the final session of My God & My All!: A Course on Discipleship on Saturday, April 1st beginning with Mass at 8:00am in Our Lady of Good Voyage Church. After Mass, we will reflect together on how Saint Francis and Pope Francis bring their shared faith to life through both prayer and action. Your questions, comments, and faith sharing are all essential components of our course and discussion!
For more information about the Assisi Project and its good work in our parishes, please contact Cliff at cgarvey@assisiproject.com. Even if you have missed previous sessions of our course on discipleship, please join us for this important conversation about discipleship in the modern world! Spread the word! Bring a friend! All are invited! All are welcome! May the Lord give you peace!

SPIRITUAL DIRECTION MINISTRY
Thomas Merton once wrote: “Spiritual direction is, in reality, nothing more than a way of leading us to see and obey the real director, the Holy Spirit, hidden in the depths of our soul.” In this spirit and in an effort to help adult disciples (in the Roman Catholic Church) grow closer to their Risen Lord in a confidential and supportive environment. Cliff Garvey, the Assisi Project’s co-founder and spiritual director, is available for both individual and small-group spiritual direction on a regular or one-time only basis. For more information, please contact Cliff at cgarvey@assisiproject.com. Saint Francis, pray for us! Saint Clare, pray for us! Our Lady of Angels, pray for us! May the Lord give you peace!
