Thursday, September 22, 2011 — ORDINARY TIME

Amy Uelman
Visiting Lecturer, Georgetown University School of Law

Living Ordinary Time: Faith Resources for Today’s Economy
Our days are lived primarily in the “ordinary” time of life where it can be difficult to navigate what often seem to be the clashing demands of personal, family and professional life. How can faith resources help to re-frame the tensions of our ordinary days? How can the liturgical season of Ordinary Time provide practical tools for working through the “push and pull” of life?

Thursday, December 1, 2011 — ADVENT

Wendy Wright
Professor of Theology, Creighton University

Keeping Watch
Advent is a season of vigil and hopeful waiting; a quiet season of promise. There is hardly anything more antithetical to our frenzied work lives than the idea of stillness, but Advent offers that opportunity to stop and listen. What are you “giving birth” to in your life? What might God be preparing for you to receive? Make this program an Advent gift to yourself as we enter into the season together and reflect upon the ways that Advent may give birth to a new spirit that you can carry into your work.

Thursday, March 8, 2012 — LENT

Fr. J. Michael Byron
Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity

Faith and Work: Convergence and Conversion
In our desire to live an authentic life of faith, the workplace can be an environment where we easily lose our focus; bombarded daily by distractions, temptations and challenges of the temporal demands of our work. The workplace, however, may be just the ideal place to examine the obstacles to gospel living that we face. The season of Lent reminds us of our continual call to conversion and holiness in life. What challenges does your work bring to your faith life? How can we live the call to conversion each day, even at work? How can we leave Lent a stronger and more vital person of faith than when we entered?

Thursday, April 26, 2012 — PENTECOST

Fr. John A. Klockeman
Assistant Director of Spiritual Formation, St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity

Call and Charism
At Pentecost, the gifts of the Holy Spirit were given to the whole Church for the common good. These gifts are manifested by individuals through unique charisms, but they always serve the greater mission and purpose of the Church. Is your career your calling? How are you serving the Body of Christ? What gifts have been given by God to you? How are you being called to use them in your work and in the world?
