On the 1st February, a new Theology On Tap series was kicked off at St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Paradise Hills. Sister Peter Marie and Sister Elizabeth Marie from the Nashville Dominicans gave a talk on “Joyful Discernment”. They were accompanied by some of their Dominican brothers, Fr. Stephen Maria Lopez and Fr. James Moore, who joined them for the Q&A session.

If you would like to hear audio from other San Diego “Theology On Tap” sessions, you can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, Google Play or manually via the RSS feed.

“Q&A” (Download)

Questions asked during the Q&A were:

•  How long have you been a teacher? What has been your favourite subject to teach?

• What is “sanctifying grace”?

• I felt called to a ministry and that’s now complete. I’m not currently feeling called to anything in particular. Should I wait or should I actively be looking?

• Have you ever experienced synchronicities in your life which you felt were of God?

• Is it selfish to ask God for clarity in your vocation?

• Is it free will if God already knows what I’m going to choose?

In this last Theology On Tap series we also heard a presentation from Peggy and Deacon Ralph Skiano, the Directors for Marriage and Family Life for the Diocese. Their talk was entitled “Vocation to love” and is available for download below:

A while back I wrote about my friend Jenna and her attempt to join an order of nuns who look after terminal cancer patients. Well, I’ve just heard that, once the money from all the different fund raising efforts has come in, she will be only $269 away from achieving her goa

So, if you’d like to help turn one of these…
