New season of GATHERINGS: “Who Do You Say That I Am?” launched last night with Week 1: Self-care. When self-care focuses on maintaining your ‘self’ to become the best version of you which even might include the spirituality, you live a very secular life because your vision is not aligned with the vision of God for your ‘self’. Self-care becomes a tedious maintenance if your illusory ‘self’ when you don’t allow God-care to take over. God-care for your ‘self’ has an internal impact and enables you to love your ‘self’ with tenderness, hope, humility and joy. Jesus’ first words were: Metanoiete! Repent! Which means: change your mind, change your purpose, change your angle of perceiving bc when He comes, His love takes the primary place in the order of the Kingdom and self-love flowing from each heart becomes a source of identity which the world wants but misses. How do you ‘self-care’? Next Gathering: Sept.6.

#faithdeconstruction #thomasmerton "The theology of the devil is really not theology but magic. "Faith" in this theology is really not the acceptance of a God Who reveals Himself as mercy. It is a psychological, subjective "force" which applies a kind of violence to reality in order to change it according to one's own whims. Faith is a kind of supereffective whishing: a mastery that comes from a special, mysteriously dynamic will power that is generated by "profound convictions". By virtue of this wonderful energy one can exert a persuasive force even on God Himself and bend His will to one's own will. By this astounding new dynamic soul force of faith (which any quack can develop in you for an appropriate remuneration) you can turn God into a means to your own ends. We become civilized medicine men, and God becomes our servant. Though He is terrible in His own right, He respects our sorcery, He allows Himself to be tamed by it. He will appreciate our dynamism, and will reward it with a success in everything we attempt. We will become popular because we have 'faith". We will be rich becasue we have 'faith". All our national enemies will come and lay down their arms at our feet because we have 'faith". Business will boom all over the world, and we will be able to make money out of everything and everyone under the sun because of the charmed life we lead. We have faith. But there is a subtle dialectic in all this, too. We hear that faith does everything. So we close our eyes and strain a bit, to generate some 'soul force". We believe. We believe. Nothing happens. We close our eyes again. and generate some more soul force. The devil likes us to generate soul force. He helps us to generate plenty of it. We are just gushing with soul force. But nothing happens. So we go on with this until we become disgusted with the whole business. We get tired of "generating soul force". We get tried on this "faith" that doe not do anything to change reality. It does not take away our anxieties, our conflicts, it leaves us a prey to uncertainty. It does not lift all responsibilities off our shoulders. Its magic is not so effective after all.” - Thomas Merton (1962)
Last session of Alpha Hollywood: Healing. Fr. Dennis from the St. Ambrose parish visited and after prayer, from not being able to genuflect well and with pain, he did it twice with an ease. One guest reported no pain after two years of discomfort in her side muscles. A non - Christian friend had vision of Jesus holding another guest whom we prayed for and leading her forward. That’s the guest who never read the Bible before and just read the Gospel of Mark last week. We prayed for #catholicrevival in Hollywood. Next week: Community Dinner with announcements about what’s gonna happen in Hollywood soon! #stonetoflesh #stonetofleshhollywoodhub #community #hollywood #westhollywood #holyspirit #prayer #tryalpha #alhpacourse #alphausa
We’e got an opportunity to serve at the St. Vincent de Paul parish in Huntington Beach, CA and train the team of about 50 people to become Ministry Teams for their upcoming Wild Goose (@wildgooseministry) series. This is a parish that after three years of conducting @alphacourse is moving into the Holy Spirit zone! During the day’s practicum there were many instances of God touching people’s bodies and hearts and His deep love has reached out to heal, transform and freed many to become missionary disciples on the go. We are so excited for them and can’t wait what will happen when we come back to serve at their retreat. Big shout out to the pastor Fr. Jerome Karcher and Director of Parish Life & Evangelization @ledezma.patty, Deacon Gerard Wallace for taking the risk into going after God’s Heart fearlessly. 📷: Fr. Jerome in one of the ministry team groups, praying for healing.

Alpha West Hollywood has been a thrilling experience. We’ve had agnostics, Catholics, Evangelicals, former Mormon and Pentecostals, Episcopalians, Charismatics, folks from Jewish and ‘none’ background and seekers so you can just imagine how interesting the conversations were. With one week left we are already making plans for expanding Hollywood HUB starting this September, so stay tuned: stonetoflesh.org/subscribe #stonetoflesh #community #westhollywood #hollywood #tryalpha #stonetofleshalpha #stonetofleshhollywoodhub #socal #alphacourse
