First Tuesdays: Spirituality in the City

I had the opportunity today to attend the opening session of First Tuesdays : “Spirituality in the City” Co-sponsored by Jesuit Church, Loyola Institute for Ministry, and The Catholic Book Store, the sessions are “an annual interfaith series promoting dialogue and understanding on topics of spirituality”

The speaker today was Reverend Henry Hudson of Trinity Episcopal Church. He had a number of quotes that I found quite intriguing and wanted to share.

In the order he said them, paraphrased since I was taking notes on a PocketPC:

• If you know where you are starting from and where you are ending, have the courage to make the journey.
• Be doers of the word not just hearers. James 1:22
• When God asks “Where are you?” how do you hear it?
• Are you fishing for God or is he fishing for you?
• How would you answer Jesus when he asks “What do you want me to do for you?” Mark 10:46
• We don't believe there is enough to go around. The Original Sin
• Have you ever prayed for someone else by name?
• All things needed for salvation are non-confrontational.
