Pax Christi Community Conversations
Thursday February 27, 2025 7:00-8:15 pm (zoom)
Join us!
We will gather again this month as a faith community for sharing and discussion. Our very own, Denny Dreher has graciously agreed to lead us this month. Denny offers the following homily for reflection by Jessica Sun, who serves on the leadership team for the PCUSA Young Adult Caucus.
https://paxchristiusa.org/2025/02/07/on-apocalypse-a-reflection/
Jessica’s homily provides very rich content along with many references to expand our understanding.
For our discussion, Denny suggests we consider the following questions …

Upon reflection, does anything resonate with your own experience of concern, fear, anxiety related to current events in our country, in our world?
What spiritual practices or coping strategies help you to feel centered, elicit hopefulness and/or foster a new perspective?

As Catholic Christians, we are called to be People of the Resurrection! How do we live that call?
