College

happy Holy Wednesday! ❤️‍🔥 🤍 Excerpt from todays Gospel: << On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples approached Jesus and said, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?” He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The teacher says, “My appointed time draws near; in your house I shall celebrate the Passover with my disciples.”’” The disciples then did as Jesus had ordered, and prepared the Passover. >> As we approach the beginning of the Triduum, let us remember that at the Last Supper, as He breaks the bread — Jesus is the offering, the lamb. God the Father offers His only son so that we may have eternal life. Let us say an “I love you” to Jesus, as He reminds us of this often — but we rarely tell Him or show Him this. Don’t miss Holy Thursday Mass at 7PM (& washing of the feet) + Adoration til midnight @ St. A’s ! 🤍

Jesus is inviting you into communion with Him this Holy Week. But how exactly do we accompany Him this week/accept that invitation? Here’s a mini guide for you to pray with throughout the week. There are 4 art pieces, each followed by scripture and/or prayers. See where the Lord is inviting your heart to journey in prayer - not alone - but with Jesus alongside you and Mama Mary’s intercession🩵

Here’s our Holy Week schedule 🤍🌿 In addition: @staugustine_miami will be offering Confessions on Good Friday + Holy Saturday from 10am-1pm 🙏🏽❤️‍🔥

“Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.” Today is Palm Sunday🌿 Join us for 8PM Mass at St. A’s followed by a Hummus and Pita Bread Social to start off Holy Week!

The greatest week of the year is approaching 🔜 & here we share a little bit about each day! 🙏🏽 We pray that this Holy Week we can accompany the Lord in suffering ❤️‍🔥 — to resurrect in His joy on Easter! 🤍✨💫

Men and Women’s Thrive is back tomorrow💞🙌 Women meet at CP and men outside in the courtyard of St A’s as we hear from Camila and Carter as they dive deeper into the question “How do we go from excess and deficiency to the middle ground of Virtue?”

Have you ever wondered why men and women are soooo different? Join us tonight for Thrive at 8PM as our very own Javi and Annie Lugo talk to us about Christian Anthropology❤️‍🔥😊

Tomorrow is the first day of Lent! Which calls for a refresher on what fasting and abstinence are… “As Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus’s thirst… ‘Repent and believe,’ Jesus tells us. What are we to repent? Our hardness of heart. What are we to believe? Jesus thirsts even now, in your heart and in the poor — He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you.” - Mother Teresa Take a moment to pray today. Ask the Lord to show you the places within your heart that are longing for Him and His love. And invite Him to guide you through this Lenten season🤍
