Advent is coming on Sunday... a beautiful season to rediscover our inner thirst for God and pray for his real indwelling in our lives. Monday is also the feast of Saint Francis Xavier! May he inspire us to give our lives generously to Christ in the service of others.
As festivities arrive, our deadlines are also fast approaching:
Dec. 5 - Individual Journal Entries (Creative Synthesis)
Dec. 7 - Reflection Paper
Dec. 14 - Group Scrapbooks (Creative Synthesis)
For those who may have lost their handouts, here are the softcopies of the guidelines:
Experiencing Israel's Journey
(Creative Synthesis)
Choosing Covenant:
Burning the Barbs and Thorns that Crush It
(Reflection Paper)
Some pointers:
1. The individual journal entries for the Creative Synthesis should NOT be mere paraphrases or rewrites of the original Scriptures. You should narrate them in such a way that you bring out the most important part of the experience and discuss the important issues behind it (as we did in class, but in your own creative way this time).
2. Submit to your group leaders so you can submit them to me altogether as a group. Try to help each other even if the grade for this component is still individual.
3. Let us not procrastinate so we will not find things more difficult towards the end.
The coming of Advent increases our longing for Christmas in hopeful expectation and the feast of Francis Xavier is a true cause for great rejoicing. Meanwhile, let us do all things with generosity and excellence so we may truly be able to celebrate these two great feasts with abundant joy. God bless you all.
