Moments With God By Norma Scally

On March 16th, 28 God seeking women gathered in St. Anthony’s Hall in Westbury, to participate in our first “Moments With God” series. Although the weather was cold, our hearts were warm as we exchanged hugs, smiles, and exclamations of joy to see each other.

Lisa Brogan started the morning off with a very inspiring talk entitled “Loving Like Christ Loves” and invited us to become Jesus’ lambs. She stressed forgiveness, a favorite touchy subject for good Christians like us because we all have that family member, co-worker, or an annoying neighbor whom God places in our lives, so we can learn to forgive and love them just like He forgives and loves us. Theresa McHugh followed with an introduction to a different way of praying with the scriptures called “Lectio Divina”. The suggestions for this way of praying were- read the
scripture, select a few lines to reflect on, mentally chew the words and images, and make a plan of action in response to what God has spoken to us through the scripture.

The team thanks all those who attended and for your warm feedback. Hope to see you again at our next gathering which will be on June 22nd. For those who could not attend, we really hope to see
you next time. Keep in mind that you don’t have to be a Cursillista to attend, so bring a friend or make a friend.

Decolores!
