JESUS IN CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM
Tuesday, February 11, 6:30-8:00pm, Room 212, No Fee
What is the significant characteristic of a prophet? Who from your own life has this attribute? Traditionally, Jesus' role as prophet has been one of the major theological issues that divides Islam and Christianity. Fr. McMichael’s presentation will show not only how this has been a major dividing issue between Muslims and Christians but also how this could be a theological area of common ground, especially if it is applied to orthopraxy (right practice) more so than orthodoxy (right belief). What does this mean to men who are followers of Jesus in our contemporary world?

Wednesday, February 12, 9:30–11:30am, Room 212, $10       RSVP

Third Thursday of the month, 3:00–4:30pm       RSVP

The Compassionate Care Listening Circle gathers monthly, and is open to anyone who finds themselves at a crossroads in life. The listening circle provides a safe place for reflection and meaningful conversation as one strives to find an awareness of God in the face of life challenges. These challenges can include loss, care-giving responsibilities, mental illness, grief, chronic illness, or any life transition. In this small group setting we will have time for ritual, prayer, and sharing around a monthly topic. For more information, or if you would like to join this group, contact Jean Thoresen, Director of Care and Support Ministry, 952-405-7211, or jthoresen@paxchristi.com.

SoulCollage® is a visual journal that we create to access our inner intuition, our inner wisdom, and our resources. SoulCollage® is one of many wonderful tools to address the question, “Who am I and what am I doing on this earth?” SoulCollage® is a fun and process that anyone can do. People make a deck of 5 x 8” collaged cards, one card at a time. These individual cards make up a unique deck, where each card represents a different aspect of the individual..

Be Who You Are and Be That Well
Saturday, February 29, 2020, 9:00am-Noon, Room 266, Free
Facilitated by Melissa Borgmann-Kiede of the Loyola Spirituality Center, participants will be guided through an examen-based discernment exercise identifying moments of knowing God’s great love. Through creative reflection prayer practices, participants will come to a greater understanding of a classic discernment process taught by St. Ignatius of Loyola. Participants will have an opportunity to reflect on their personal, lived experiences and be introduced to a protocol for discerning vocation within a group. It is our hope that, in offering this experience, the community of Pax Christi will become empowered to better hear and respond to the call of God at both the personal and communal levels.
