> Young Adults...Quo Vadis?
An
Evening of Spiritual Renewal. Every 2nd Wednesday of the month,
beginning October 13, 2010, at St. James Chapel, Quigley
Building (at the corner
of Rush and Pearson). Ample parking
in the Holy Name Cathedral lot; also, right off the Chicago stop of the
CTA Red Line.

Quo vadis?
is a Latin phrase meaning "Where are you going?" This phrase calls to mind the day when Peter was fleeing persecution in Rome.
On his way, he meets Jesus and asks him, "Quo vadis/Where are you
going?" Jesus' answer: "I am going to
Rome to be crucified again." This gives
Peter the courage to continue his ministry as head of the early Church.
We may be asking ourselves, "Where am I going?" "Where
is the Lord calling me?" Marriage? Committed
Single Life? Priesthood? Religious
Life? Whenever Jesus called His disciples, He always said to them,
"Follow me." The best way to understand where our Lord is calling us
is to pray and stay close to the Sacraments.
Every second Wednesday of
the month, beginning October 13th, young adults are
encouraged to join us for adoration, confession, and mass. This is a great
opportunity to take some time out from the hustle and bustle of the noisy and
hectic work week to enjoy some quiet time with our Lord Jesus so as to listen
to His voice and respond wholeheartedly to where He is calling you.

August Reading: Intellectuals Don't Need God and Other Myths By: Alister McGrath
Intellectuals Don't Need God is for people who are not convinced by the arguments of classical, rationalistic apologetics, for people who feel that Christianity must have a broader appeal that to reason alone if it is to be persuasive to non-Christians. Alister McGrath shows convincingly that reason is only one of many possible points of contact between the non-Christian and the gospel. In today's world, non-rational concerns -- such as a sense that life lacks focus, an unconscious fear of death, a deep sense of longing for something unknown we don't have but know we need -- are much more effective points of contact for apologetics.
