Summary: Alleluia... Christ is risen! Don't you love that we get to celebrate for 50 whole days?!<br> My show break continues this week and next as I prepare a new format and content, but I have video for these two weeks to tide you over till our next series. This is number one of two talks I did last month in St. Louis, and they segue perfectly into our next study series (which is why I am sharing them). Next week I will send you part two.<br> <br> Along with the new series coming up, I have been working on something else new for you. Here's a hint!<br> <br> <br> <br> Can you guess what this might have to do with Bible study? : )<br> This Week's Video<br> <br> Episode Resources<br> Catholic Women for Christ 2017, filmed in the Archdiocese of St. Louis by St. Joseph Evangelization Network. <br> <br> <br> I'll share more in the coming weeks, but the LOVE the Word(TM) Initiative is a full-immersion Bible study method based on Mary's own practice. It's lectio divina, or holy reading according to 2000 years of Church tradition - without the Latin. We learn to LOVE the Word like Mary, from Mary. You've been practicing it with me, now for a couple of months, as many of the shows in the Magnificat series included LOVE the Word(TM) exercises.<br> <br> Now, every week's show includes a LOVE the Word(TM) exercise based on one of four personalities, or "prayer forms," explored in Prayer and Temperament, by Chester Michael and Marie Norrisey: Ignatian, Augustinian, Franciscan, and Thomistic. As I share the videos for this week and next, in short form, LOVE the Word goes like this:<br> <br> Listen (Receive the Word)<br> <br> Observe (Connect the passage to recent events.)<br> <br> Verbalize (Pray about your thoughts and emotions.)<br> <br> Entrust (May it be done to me according to your word!)<br> <br> <br> <br> I can't wait to share the whole initiative with you!
