===== Ministry of Prayer
04
Mar '24
We know that life can be challenging and the only thing that may help to get you back to center is Prayer. We believe very strongly in the power of Prayer. This belief and knowing comes from seeing or hearing about the many demonstrations or testimonies in the lives of people around the world.
At the end of weekend Masses the Transfiguration Ministry of Prayer will be in the front of the Church to pray for you or someone you love and care for.
Please know that each Minister of Transfiguration Ministry of Prayer commits to holding your intentions in the light of Christ, standing in Truth, Principle and Love. Prayer is the tool we use to know the truth. It is not about begging or pleading for something to happen to change the conditions in life. It is about aligning ourselves with the all good of God that surrounds us at all times. Every request we receive is treated with love, compassion, respect and dignity.

More than ever I find myself
in the hands of God.
This is what I have wanted all my life from my youth.

This is what I have wanted all my life from my youth.
But now there is a difference;
the initiative is entirely with God.
It is indeed a profound spiritual experience to know
and feel myself so totally in God’s hands.

===== Parish Lenten Message Series

Feb '24
ONE CHURCH — ONE MESSAGE
Summary:
Like all of life, the Christian life requires perseverance, tenacity. Grit. Jesus said that it will be by perseverance we will save our life. The Scriptures tell us that Jesus resolutely determined to go to Jerusalem and that he set his face like flint. Perseverance means resisting the urge to quit when faced with adversity. In a world entrenched in instant gratification, developing perseverance becomes essential to sustain our faith and navigate life’s challenges.
There are instances of feeling overwhelmed, wanting to give up. However, during these tough times, God stands by to provide support and aid in perseverance. Jesus himself exemplified perseverance, overcoming even death to enable us to establish an eternal connection with God. His actions assure us that we can rely on Him for the strength to persist through any challenges we encounter.
In this series we will look at how to develop perseverance so that we will persist in our faith and other vital aspects of life.
Week One: Introduction (Week One Reflection)
Week Two: Community: Friends in Faith (Week Two Reflection)
Week Three: Passion/Zeal: Rejoice When It Is Hard (Week Three Reflection)
Week Four: Grace: We Are God’s Workmanship (Week Four Reflection)
Week Five: Purpose: Death to Self (Week Five Reflection)
Explore the weekly reflection in a small faith group setting on Saturday mornings, 9am to 10am in the Old White Church!
