A Revolution Through Encuentro |
|
"An invitation to work for 'the culture of encounter,' in a simple way, 'as Jesus did:' not just seeing, but looking; not just hearing, but listening; not just passing people by, but stopping with them; not just saying 'what a shame, poor people!,' but allowing yourself to be moved with compassion; and then to draw near, to touch and to say: 'do not weep' and to give at least a drop of life."
FSPA sisters, affiliates and partners in mission on staff are gathering in La Crosse, WI June 10-12, 2022 for a Mission Assembly, centered on the theme "A Revolution Through Encuentro: Our Journey into Oneness." This is an opportunity for all of us in the FSPA family to deepen our connections with each other and also challenge ourselves to adopt a life of Encuentro in the world. Please hold us in prayer as we enter into a time of communal learning, prayer and discernment!

Messy Jesus Business Podcast |
|
In this very special episode of Messy Jesus Business Podcast, Sister Julia Walsh takes on the role of podcast guest and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the conceptualization of Messy Jesus Business. Podcast editor Charish Badzinski serves as host for this episode, and together she and Sister Julia explore the lessons of the past 49 episodes, and what it means to say yes to the mess.
We also hear from past guests who pop in to join the celebration, as well as podcast listeners who share what listening to Messy Jesus Business means to them. Sister Julia then gives a sneak peek into possible future topics she'd like to explore in the next 50 episodes.
