The presentation on Creation and Covenant will concentrate on two biblical themes:
“image of God” as found in Gen 1:27-28 and ‘covenant’ as found in Exodus 6:7 and 34:6.
“Image of God’ underscores both our fundamental human limitedness as well as our extraordinary privilege with the created world.
“Covenant”signifies the character of the relationship God has established with us.
In preparation for this presentation, the participants might reflect on these biblical passages.
Questions for discussion:

Questions for pondering.
1. One way we can understand our call to prophecy is as a call to be active in facing injustice – to be “truth tellers,” as it is sometimes phrased. Who are some modern day prophets you see engaging in truth telling, be they people you know personally or public figures? What opportunities have you had to be a truth teller in your life?
2. Another way we can understand this call to prophecy is to be proclaimers of hope. Where do you find hope in the world and in your life? In what ways do you think you can fulfill this call to proclaim hope?

The Spiritual Diary of St. Paul of the Cross
From Volume I of the English translation of the Letters.
The Spiritual Diary of St. Paul of the Cross
Silvan Rouse, C.P.
On March 2, the Church celebrates Ash Wednesday.
Most of us learned early in our Catholic lives that Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, and that is a time of special sacrifice in preparation for the Easter celebration of Jesus’ Resurrection.
Dear brothers and sisters, every moment of our lives is a time for believing, hoping and loving…. These words of Pope Francis, taken from his Lenten Message of last year, 2021, and echoing the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity, can still inspire our answer to the question: “What am I giving up for Lent?”
We can draw our Lenten sacrifices out of our daily life:
Share our faith in God’s presence by sharing in prayer with our family or with those in our parish community.
Share our hope in God’s promises by encouraging positive and respectful dialogue in our family circle and among our friends.
Share the charity God has bestowed on us in the Passion of Jesus, with those whose sufferings are ignored or aggravated.
Let us pray for one another as we enter the season of Lent. Our Passionist “motto” can be our daily prayer during Lent, “May the Passion of Jesus Christ be always in our hearts.”
