Questions: frnathaniel@uwnewman.org

Have you felt like you're seeking God's guidance, but not receiving clarity? Do you feel stuck between two good things that the Lord seems to be calling you toward? This talk by Fr. Justin Ryan will offer ways to pray about the Lord's will for your life through the wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis de Sales, and St. Catherine of Siena. Along with practical suggestions, there will also be encouragements for how to recognize when to be patient and simply let the Lord Jesus draw us closer to Himself. The Lord's timing is always perfect, and this talk and ensuing discussion will hopefully help you recognize it in your own life.

Loin Frassati for a talk by speaker Alex McCollum on Thursday, February 12th at 7pm at the Newman Center. Alex, during his employment in the state psychiatric hospital systems and the department of corrections, has specialized in working with the most challenging symptoms of mental illness in the “Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity” populations.

Being Catholic today can sometimes feel like being “locked up” in the culture we exist in now. Whether it be the overwhelming temptations of modernity, or the effects of isolation, Alex wants to give tips and lessons from his experiences helping people to feel free and at peace. This talk will feature the wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola and various sources of inspiration to help you go forth as a Catholic ready to take on whatever comes your way.
