A Prayer Time for Everything:
We live in the midst of a busy, often noisy world, where many different forces
and voices call us in conflicting directions and vie for our time, our energy,
our allegiance. The Jesuit Spiritual Center
will offer a retreat September 17-19 focusing on prayer. This retreat will offer an opportunity to
slow down and to focus on the actual possibility of developing a rich prayer life in the midst of the
routine chaos of our lives which can often feel fragmented, out of balance, or
out of control. Special attention will be given to the role of gratitude in
developing a healthy, balanced life with God, with self, and with others. The retreat, led
by Fr. John Ferone, SJ, will be open to both men and women. For more information, or to register,
call (513) 248-3500, ext. 10, or visit

You pick them up and take them to a game, the park, the mall, fishing, build a snow man, etc. It is a lot of fun. You don't
need to be a social worker or teacher or have any experience with kids.

players to help you pray while traveling to and from work, study, etc. It is
not a 'Thought for the Day', a sermon or a bible-study, but rather a

combines music, scripture and some questions for reflection. The aim is to
help you to
become more aware of God's
presence in your life
listen to and reflect on God's word
grow in your relationship with God
It is produced by Jesuit Media
Initiatives, with material written by a number of British Jesuits and other
experts in the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Although the content
is different every day, it keeps the same basic format. Visit
