Gifts for Your
Spirit
From LMU Alumni Chaplain Peg Dolan, RSHM
As we approach the holiday season each year, my
column is usually filled with invitations to share your gifts with
others. This year, I am inviting you to gift yourself.
When was the last time you took a day to be
quiet, reflect, and pray on what really matters? If it's been a
while, Alumni Relations will offer you the opportunity to do just
that. On Sunday, December 5, 2004, we will combine the Advent
reflection with the CLC Ventanas, and on Sunday, February l3, 2005,
we will hold the Alumni Lenten Retreat. Both days begin with
10 am Mass in Sacred Heart Chapel, followed by brunch. The rest of
the day consists of presentations, quiet prayer, and reflection.
There will also be an opportunity for a weekend retreat on campus,
May 20-22, 2005. For more information on all retreats, please go to
www.lmu.edu/alumni.
Now for some good news for those of you who
participated in Christian Life Community (CLC) as students. LMU is
now setting up alumni CLC groups for alumni who would like to
participate in small groups of 6-10 people who commit to joining
together regularly in prayer, support, and service. CLC is based on
Ignatian spirituality, which is well suited to a busy modern
lifestyle. For more information on alumni CLC, contact John
LeVecke, SJ, at 310.258.4664 or jlevecke@calprov.org.
I hope you will accept at least one of the above
invitations to gift your spirit, so you may continue to "give glory
to God as a human being more fully alive."
