JB, Ron, Jeremy, Tom from Stories for the Journey: A Lenten Retreat

We gathered after Mass on February 17 for our Lenten retreat based on story telling. Jeremy Marks and myself each told stories from our lives that opened up the gospel for members of our community. What a powerful experience of community  building, around the vulnerability of our own lives. This project was the idea of Tom Frieberg from our community.

Tom Frieberg and Julie Booth (JB) told their stories yesterday, Sunday, March 17, 2013. Here is JB’s story from yesterday morning. JB’s story is the last of the four stories in the series.These two stories are based on the gospel from the Fifth Sunday of Lent, John 8:1-11. The photo: JB, Ron, Jeremy and Tom.

On The Margins – John 8:1-11

Listen to my weekly radio show, On the Margins.This profound story reflects the real beauty of God’s consolation. Here, a woman who has been on the margins of society is now brought into the center of God’s healing and forgiveness. This story is very countercultural. Jesus breaks down barriers. Jesus bends down and begins to write in the sand with his finger… ” Fifth Sunday of Lent, March 17, 2013.”

On The Margins – Luke 15:1-3,11-32

“This is one of the most spirituality invigorating stories of the New Testament. The relationship between parents and children are a real source of both hardship and inspiration during this Lenten season. So many people cannot forgive their children and so many children cannot forgive their parents. So many people have been shunned by their parents. So many parents find difficulties to forgive their children.” Fourth Sunday of Lent, March 10, 2013.”

“This gospel calls us into repentance in order to find God’s love for us. The purpose of the Lenten journey is to reevaluate and celebrate our baptism in Christ Jesus.

On The Margins – Luke: 9: 28b-36

“We are offered a new perspective on Christ Jesus and ourselves. This is a foreshadowing of the resurrection. The apostles were overcome with sleep. They wake up to seeing who Jesus really is, not just a human prophet. They are awakened to the reality that God is with them. This new process of waking up enables them to receive more deeply his love for them. In this Lent, we too are going to be awakened by the discipline.” The Second Sunday of Lent,  Sunday February 24, 2013.”

On The Margins – Luke 4:1-13

“We are well into our lives in the desert of Lent. Our purpose is to bear witness to our Father in heaven in these Lenten days. Lent is a journey, an entry into a deeper more profound relationship with Christ, with our selves and the community around us. We come to a new appreciation of prayer, learning to fast from the deeds of our lives that wear us down and to give alms so that justice may reign. We are marked with the sign of salvation. The desert is an image of enlightenment, of transformation.” First  Sunday of Lent, February 17, 2013.”

On The Margins – Luke 5:1-11

“Simon gives in to the call of Jesus. This call is also for us. We may believe that our lives are empty, that we are unloved and worthless. The abundant catch is also for us, in our day and age, in our lives. Our parish community began as an outreach to sailers, their needs form alcoholism and joblessness. This gospel opens to believe that hope, love and purpose are also for us.” Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time.  Sunday February 10, 2013.”
