Other high-profile conversions (including atheist-turned-Catholic standup comic Jen Fulwiler and actor Matthew Perry\, whose memoir featured his heartfelt account of a mystical encounter with God)\, not to mention peer-reviewed medical studies of near-death experiences have been bringing matters of God and the afterlife front and center. \nCould we be witnessing a return of belief in our generation? Drawing from the worlds of C.S. Lewis\, contemporary culture\, consciousness\, philosophy\, poetry\, science\, and technology\, as well as from 15 years of interviews as a popular radio and podcast host\, author Justin Brierley argues a resounding “yes”—stating that “the church needs to be a place of countercultural grace in a polarized\, moralistic\, and unforgiving society.” \nJoin the Tuesday Night Book Group in reading and discussing Brierley’s new book The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God: Why New Atheism Grew Old and Secular Thinkers are Considering Christianity Again\, which Bishop Barron deemed “excellent” in announcing plans for a series of YouTube talks on the book\, which promises to provide “food for thought” with loved ones at Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings. \nAs the discussion of each chapter is self-contained\, everyone is welcome and free to join at any time for one or more sessions of this series. \nUpcoming Sessions: \nTuesday\, November 7th | The Rise and Fall of New Atheism (discussion of chapter + linked video)\nTuesday\, November 14th | The New Conversation on God\nTuesday\, November 21st | Shaped by the Christian Story\nTuesday\, November 28th | Rediscovering the Bible\nTuesday\, December 5th | The Alternative Story of Science\nTuesday\, December 12th | Mind\, Meaning\, and the Materialists\nTuesday\, December 19th | The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God \nOptional Supplemental Reading: Yes\, There is a God by John Bergsma\, Ph.D.\, and Science at the Doorstep to God: Science and Reason in Support of God\, the Soul\, and Life After Death by Fr.

Timothy Gallagher  DESCRIPTION:“Spiritual discernment is the art of finding God’s will for us in the concrete life situations that confront us each day.  It is the link between prayer and action.” \nWhat can St. Ignatius Loyola teach us about the discernment of spirits—also called “motions of the soul” or interior movements (thoughts\, imaginings\, emotions\, inclinations\, desires\, feelings\, repulsions\, and attractions)—that lies at the very heart of Christian life? \nIn his classic book The Discernment of Spirits: An Ignatian Guide for Everyday Living\, Fr. Timothy Gallagher helps us understand the Rules and how their insights are essential for our spiritual growth today. By integrating the Rules and the experience of contemporary people\, Gallagher shows the precision\, clarity\, and insight of Ignatius’s Rules\, as well as the relevance of his thought for spiritual life. When we learn to read St. Ignatius correctly\, we discover in his remarkable words our own struggles\, joys\, and triumphs. \nThe Tuesday Night Book Group’s six-week series discussing this book is for all who desire greater awareness of God’s action in their daily spiritual lives.  This series will be led by Robert Giugliano\, Ph.D.\, a psychologist and longtime Ignatian spiritual director and adjunct faculty member at Fordham. \nWe will explore both theory and practice as embodied in St. Ignatius of Loyola’s 14 Rules for the Discernment of Spirits contained in his Spiritual Exercises\, which provide one of the clearest and most comprehensive explanations of the discernment of spirits in the Christian spiritual tradition. \nDiscussions begin at 7 PM and typically run 75-90 minutes. \nUpcoming Sessions\nTues\, Jan. 23:  Foundations and Perspective\nTues\, Jan. 30:  Discernment Definition and Foundation\, and Rules 1-4\nTues\, Feb. 6:  Rules 5-7\nTues\, Feb. 13:  Rules 8-11\nTues\, Feb. 20:  Rules 12-14\nTues\, Feb. 27:  Application of the Rules\, and Q&A \nRecommended text:  Fr. Timothy Gallagher’s The Discernment of Spirits.

Registrants will receive a copy of Bishop Robert Barron’s Lenten Gospel Reflections book as we kick off Lent 2024 together in a powerful way. \nThe worship service will include lively praise & worship music by Raul Santos and the Zion Megaband and vocalists Marisel Rodriguez and Brianne Nealon. Intercessory prayer teams will pray over those who wish to receive prayer.  At 7:30 PM\, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed with time for Adoration and formation of a “Healing Link\,” before the night ends with Benediction at 8:30 pm. \nAt Jesus in Zion\, we’ll seek to love God through praising and worshiping the Lord with all our hearts and souls and minds and strength and to love one another as Jesus has loved us.  We begin with lively praise and worship set to live music\, as “He who sings prays twice\,” as St. Augustine affirmed.  And we lift our hearts and our arms in praise as St. Paul urged us\, “Glorify God with your bodies!” \nIntercessory prayer teams will pray over those wishing to receive individual healing prayer.  As stated in John 14:12-13\,”Amen\, amen\, I say to you\, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do\, and will do greater ones than these\, because I am going to the Father. And  whatever you ask in my name\, I will do\, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” \nThe heart will adore what is placed before it—so during Adoration we will adore the body and blood of Jesus before our hearts and together praise the Lord of heaven and earth. \nTo the extent to which we put our hearts and souls and minds and strength into praising and worshiping the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament\, it will open up the channels through which the grace of the closing Benediction can penetrate more deeply. \nTo register to attend and to reserve a book\, please email tuesdaynightbookgroup@gmail.com.\n\nAll are welcome.
