This program, led by young Jesuits from the School of Theology, will resume on Sunday,
January 31 st and on alternate Sundays until May and will engage you in the ways of Ignatian prayer and give you some foundation in the Spiritual Exercises. Meeting times are from 4:00-

L ENTEN P ROGRAM
Marsha Mirkin will return to St. Ignatius on Saturday, February 27 th . Using psalms and readings from Isaiah, Dr. Mirkin will connect these voices from the Hebrew Testament to our own life experiences, current challenges and hopes. According to Dr. Mirkin, “Isaiah can find hope and spiritual connection even during painful times, as he tries to answer the question ‘what does our God want from us individually and communally?’, so that we can be in a mutual relationship”. Trained as a clinical psychologist, Dr. Mirkin has been teaching at our parish for nearly ten years on psychological interpretations and the contemporary relevance of the Bible. Please join us in the Friary Room on
February 27 th from 10:00 – Noon for a program that is sure to enhance your Lenten journey.

A DULT F AITH F ORMATION
L ENTEN /E ASTER B OOK D ISCUSSION
A reading/discussion group will meet as usual on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 pm to
9:00 pm at the Jesuit residence, 130 Beacon Street during the Lent and Easter seasons.
The group will be co-led by Frs. Bob and J.A.
This discussion group will consider two books, both by the same author. The Reverend
Timothy Keller, the founder and pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York
City. We start with The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism (Riverhead Books,
N.Y., 2008). This New York Times best-selling book has garnered high praise from so many. Keller has been called a pioneer for new urban Christians ( Christianity Today ), and “one who is likely to change many lives and ways of thinking” ( World magazine). It is intellectually stimulating yet accessible.
The second book is The Prodigal God: Recovering the Heart of the Christian Faith (Dutton,
N.Y., 2008). This is a much shorter and more pastoral/homiletic approach to one of the most beloved passages from Luke’s gospel – the Parable of the Prodigal Son.
We will read Part One of The Reason for God during the first two weeks, have a week break, then read the whole of The Prodigal God (during this time this parable will be read in our liturgical cycle), and then return to Part Two of The Reason for God for the final two sessions.
The group will begin on February 24 th and end on April 14 th . There will be two
Wednesdays when there will be no meeting: March 10 th and March 31 st . (So that’s: two weeks, a break of one week, two more weeks with another break of one week, and then the final two weeks.)
It should be a stimulating time both intellectually and spiritually. Both books should be available at local booksellers ( Reason in paperback, and Prodigal in hardcover. Both are available through Amazon..com in various additions, including Kindle editions.)
Any questions/concerns? Contact Fr. J.A. or Fr. Bob. As usual, space is limited Please let the Office know of your intention to attend (Betty at 617-662-6102 or ignatius@bc.edu),
