Burning Hearts

Equipping, training, & supporting Catholics to live out Jesus' mission for the Church to "go and make disciples." Creating a culture of intentional disciples.

When did you last take time to pray through your journey of discipleship? Today would be a great day to explore where you are on your journey, how Jesus is calling you deeper into relationship with him, and where he may be sending you on mission! #parishrenewal

When Catholic leaders are thoughtful, intentional, and grounded in our own discipleship journey, we can better accompany others on their faith journeys, which strengthens our parishes and enriches the Church.

Our parish missions are most fruitful in the context of an ongoing relationship of planning, prayer & formation.

Super excited about the commitment to accompaniment from this parish’s leadership - helping the Gospel message really take root in the hearts of their parishioners.

How to provide an evangelizing response to every Catholic’s favorite question/comment on #AshWednesday.

1. Ask the Holy Spirit the most fruitful way to respond & listen to His promptings.

2. Meet them where they are. Consider your relationship with them, their faith background and practice, and how open they are to faith conversations.

Spent a fantastic day with pastors & parish leaders from @DioLafayetteLA breaking open Jesus command for us to "Go and make disciples."

Please join us in praying for continued renewal and revival in these parishes 🙏 #makingdisciples

“Accompaniment—walking together in common vocation—as a pastoral concept has been a gift to me in our work. It stands in opposition to my presumption, hurry, and anxiety.”

The #EucharisticRevival is not about moving on from Missionary Discipleship.

It’s about “deepening our understanding of evangelization and missionary discipleship….discovering and unpacking, and looking at them through a Eucharistic lens.”

Today is not a day to celebrate or gloat. Rather it is a time to work hard to make sure those who are at the most risk are given the help they need. Do not bash or attack anyone for that is not the way of Christ. Instead offer mercy and compassion.

What can accompaniment and evangelization look like today?

How are we being called to listen, heart-to-heart and soul-to-soul, with love to someone we may vehemently disagree with?

The “openness of heart” of accompaniment doesn’t require you to change your most deeply held convictions. Don’t let the desire to “win” override basic human dignity. Remember: You can ALWAYS pause for compassion.

Have you ever referred to yourself as a “cradle Catholic?” Maybe it’s time to rethink that label!

[Kristin Bird @ymKBird]

Everyone who has a lived faith as an adult is a convert. We are children of God and not His grandchildren. #discipleship

"Life is just a dream on the way to death." FALSE ❌

Easter means that death points toward life! TRUE ✅

On retreat this week with @BiloxiDiocese Schools. The creative energy from these teams as they brainstorm ways to foster cultures of discipleship for their students, staff, & families is truly Spirit-driven! 🔥

God wants you to depend on HIM, not just on His Will. There’s a difference.

One is, “God just show me what to do, then I won’t need you.”

The other is, “God I want YOU - wherever you lead me.”
