Our opening prayer was the prayer that appears at the end of the Holy Spirit Litany at this link.
Most of our class time on October 8 was spent watching the documentary Champions of Faith: Baseball Edition. It features stories of those in the MLB about the role of faith in their lives.
Featured are Mike Sweeney, Rich Donnelly, Mike Piazza, and Jack McKeon. There's also a segment in which various players talk about the Eucharist. You can click those links to view those segments.
We concluded class with this Holy Spirit prayer, at the end of a different version of the Litany.
I asked everyone to pray that prayer once a day until we meet again as a way to join in my celebration of the 19th anniversary of my Confirmation on October 15.
Looking ahead, the plan is to spend some time with Pope St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body in our upcoming class on October 22, and to consider the foundations of the Church.
As usual, please feel free to reach out to me with questions, feedback, etc.
We remain connected as One Church, bound together by the Holy Spirit:
All my relations.
God's blessings,
Paul
