Worldwide Marriage Encounter – November 8th and 9th in Neenah, WI

WWME is a worldwide Catholic marriage enrichment ministry that puts on weekend experiences where couples learn to better communicate and live out their sacrament every day. It is a chance for couples to grow more intimately in faith and love together. Everything is based in our Catholic teachings and beliefs, and our faith is involved in all aspects of the experience. It’s similar to National Marriage Encounter that has been held in Green Bay in the past – both that group and Retrouvaille branched off of the original WWME experience.

The experience is happening November 8th and November 9th at St. Mary Catholic Middle School in Neenah, Wisconsin. Couples can register for the experience at wwme.org

Pope Francis on Advent

Advent,” he said, “is a moment of grace to take off our masks – every one of us has them – and line up with those who are humble, to be freed from our presumption of being self-sufficient, to go to confess our sins (the hidden ones) to welcome God’s pardon, and to ask forgiveness from those whom we have offended. This is how to begin a new life.

The ACTS Prayer Method

The acronym ACTS stands for adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication.  This model of prayer prioritizes our time with God so we first approach Him with reverence (adoration), then repent of the sin in our life (confession), then express our gratitude to Him for all He has done (thanksgiving), and finally submit to Him our requests (supplication). 

A great habit to incorporate into your daily prayer life.
