St. Luke Parish's Adult Studies Invites You To
A Parish-wide Lenten Journey
February 11 - March 21
In the ancient disciple-rabbi relationship, the disciple would follow the rabbi so closely that he would be covered in the dust kicked up from his rabbi's feet. Thousands of years later, though we walk on roads of pavement and not dust, we are still called to be disciples—to follow our Rabbi, Jesus Christ, so closely we are covered with his life, changed, and made new.- Reflect on what it means to be a disciple of Christ.
- Short weekly readings and thoughtful reflection questions from the book, Into His Likeness by Edward Sri.
- You are welcome to join a small discussion group to delve deeper into the meaning of discipleship.
Visit our Adult Studies website for details, book, schedules, and to register. -

Three Habits to Get the most out of LENT: During this time of preparation, the Church asks us to cultivate a deeper friendship with God through prayer, to control and reorder our desires for physical goods through fasting, and to show our love in the concrete way of giving alms.
BACK TO BASICS: Confession
One of the best things we can do during Lent is to go to confession. The Ten Commandments are fundamental parts of the Christian faith. But how thoroughly have we internalized them? This short video reviews the basics so you can use them to examine your conscience in preparation for this beautiful sacrament.
The Sacraments: Word on Fire ENGAGE mini-course (Episode 1)
The great sacraments of the Church have endured for thousands of years and structured countless lives. Everything in the Church’s life comes from and returns to them. But there is far more to these ancient rites than meets the eye. Watch and enjoy the whole series.
