Hearts Afire 33 Days to Morning Glory

People's lives today are often busy and challenging. Stage 1 of the Hearts Afire Parish-based Program offers individuals a quick and easy way to withdraw from the demands of daily life and enter into a peaceful interior reflection on their relationship with Christ in the context of Marian devotion. We begin with the Immaculate Heart because Mary leads us to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The end result is that, by learning to entrust ourselves to the Mother of Our Lord, we can discover a transforming trust in Jesus himself.


Hearts Afire  Consoling the Heart of Jesus

In Consoling the Heart of Jesus, we will learn about God's infinite mercy and how we can give him joy, consoling his heart, by accepting his love and trusting in him completely. We'll discover how suffering can actually help us grow spiritually closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
 

Hearts Afire Wisdom and Works of Mercy

Wisdom & Works of Mercy begins by following the book The 'One Thing' Is Three and concludes with the book, You Did it to Me. The purpose of the Wisdom & Works of Mercy study is to give group members a summary of Church teaching and Catholic wisdom and to offer various works of mercy, apostolate suggestions, programs, and support. The book, The 'One Thing' is Three is read over ten weeks and the group gathers weekly to view the ten videos below and discuss the questions in the study companion.
After completing The ‘One Thing’ is Three, groups take time to read the book You Did it to Me. You Did It To Me takes a five-fold approach to learn the easiest way to remember the different works of mercy and put them into practice in our everyday lives. After reading You Did it to Me, the group gathers to discuss the questions in the Study Companion and make plans for the works of mercy they will perform.

Part 1: Discovering Christ

Discovering Christ is a seven-week experience where anyone and everyone, from the baptized in the pews to the unbaptized, is invited to hear the Good News and personally encounter Jesus Christ. Discovering Christ helps people enter into or renew a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, experience the love of God the Father, and be empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as God’s children.
Discovering Christ consists of seven weekly sessions and a retreat day. The weekly sessions include four components: a meal, prayer time, a video teaching, and small group discussion.

Part 2: Following Christ

This 2019 edition includes ten inspiring talks by Dave Nodar, Fr. Erik Arnold, and Ally Ascosi on how to live as a Catholic disciple of Jesus Christ in today’s world based on basic disciplines and truths that have been practiced by Christians from the time of the early Church. It is designed to help people who have completed the Discovering Christ course to grow in friendship and union with God. By the grace of God, this is accomplished through praying together, hearing discipleship-focused teaching, and growing together in small group community through discussion and accountability. The teachings are not academic, rather they are focused on helping people to develop a lifestyle of living for Jesus our Lord."
