ROOTS OF REVIVAL: A Church in Crisis
GUEST: Jeff Barefoot
PART 1 (EPISODE 177) Guest: Peter Herbeck PART 2 (EPISODE 178) Guest: Eric Sammons
As exemplified by Carlo Maria Viganò, alleging Pope Francis’ complicity in shielding McCarrick (August 22, 2018), a great indication of revival is the audacity to shine a bright light on the ugliness:
"To restore the beauty of holiness to the face of the Bride of Christ, which is terribly disfigured by so many abominable crimes, and if we truly want to free the Church from the fetid swamp into which she has fallen, we must have the courage to tear down the culture of secrecy and publicly confess the truths we have kept hidden."
“At the Angelus on Sunday, August 12, 2018, Pope Francis said these words: ‘Everyone is guilty for the good he could have done and did not do… If we do not oppose evil, we tacitly feed it. We need to intervene where evil is spreading; for evil spreads where daring Christians who oppose evil with good are lacking.’
“In this extremely dramatic moment for the universal Church, [Pope Francis] must acknowledge his mistakes and, in keeping with the proclaimed principle of zero tolerance, Pope Francis must be the first to set a good example for cardinals and bishops who covered up McCarrick’s abuses and resign along with all of them.” |

SPECIAL IGNITE | Light the Fire Again! Thursday, September 27, 6:30p | St. Rose Church
REGISTER (FREE): ILoveMyFamily.us
WHAT: Witness, Word and Worship in the Presence of Jesus Christ
SPECIAL NIGHT OF PRAYER for 40 DAYS FOR LIFE!
Testimonial: Clarissa Lapinski (Project Rachel Coordinator)
Worship Leader: Brendan O'Rourke
“I have come to set fire to the earth,
and how I wish it were already ablaze." (Luke 12:49)
On Pentecost five years ago over 350 experienced a powerful encounter with Jesus Christ at our first IGNITE. We heard powerful testimonies of conversion. We processed with candles to the Burning Bush. Jesus Christ, the Lord of the Universe, was exposed. All entered more deeply into uplifting worship and silent prayer. A multitude received healing, strength and forgiveness through Confession.
Since then, well over 150 IGNITE's have taken place at 25 parishes throughout the Toledo Diocese. Over 20,000 "encounters" with Jesus Christ.
God is with us. He wants to work even more powerfully. Many equate IGNITE with stories of marriage and relational transformation, chains of addiction broken, epic conversion from non-belief, Judaism and even Islam to Catholicism, and numerous stories of miraculous physical healing, even terminal illness. "You will do even greater things...." (John 14:12)
From the very beginning, the heart of IGNITE was not another program, another event, another fleeting moment... but an awakening to who we fundamentally are in Jesus Christ. IGNITE is about a living encounter with Jesus Christ leading to an authentic, contagious overflow of grace. Our purpose is God's purpose: personal, marriage, family, parish and regional revival. "Streams of living water will flow...." (John 7:38)
The very heart of IGNITE is to become a Holy Community corresponding to Holy Communion... "to set the world ablaze." (Luke 12:49)
We're so encouraged some parishes conduct IGNITE monthly (GO). Some of these leaders, and many who were part of our early IGNITE's, have expressed a desire to experience the early roots of IGNITE... they've asked us to "light the fire again." Accordingly, now with a multitude who have been engaged in LIT Groups (GO) throughout this region, we're lighting it up. And we're inviting you to be an instrument of setting this place on fire.
AND this will be a special night of prayer at the onset of 40 Days for Life. Register and invite!
You can anticipate an impactful, short testimonial by Project Rachel Coordinator, Clarissa Lapinski, followed by procession to the Burning Bush with candles, worship led by Brendan O'Rourke (worship leader for Damascus/CYSC, our earliest worship leader in "the south"). Confessions will be heard throughout, and we'll have prayer teams available throughout and after. So...
MARK YOUR CALENDAR for this SPECIAL IGNITE:
Thursday, September 27, 6:30p at St. Rose in Perrysburg, Ohio.
Greg and Stephanie Schlueter
