Memento Mori: We are all going to die…and why that’s a good thing! “Remember that you will die” is classic spiritual advice, renewed each year on Ash Wednesday. In the ancient Catholic devotional practice called “Memento Mori”, one calls to mind the inevitability of death as a way of focusing on what we live for. In our final Thomistic Institute talk of the semester, Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble of the Daughters of St. Paul, author of the book Remember Your Death: Memento Mori (written with a skull on her desk for inspiration) will be speaking on the importance of death for life. Thursday, April 11, 5:30, room 3-270

Melchizedek Group for Priestly Vocations: Fr. Moloney will lead a discussion group about the nature of the priestly vocation and how to discern if God is calling you to the “order of Melchizedek” (Heb. 5:6, 7:17) using the book To Save a Thousand Souls. We meet on Mondays 5-6PM. Our Spring 2019 meetings begin tomorrow, February 25. To attend doesn’t mean that you are thinking about entering the seminary, or even that you’re not dating. It can simply mean that you’re interested in supporting others think about the priesthood.  If interested, contact Kyle James (kbcj2711 at mit.edu). Books are available from Father’s office in W11.

Women's Discernment Group for Religious Life: Tuesdays at 6PM. Do you think God might be calling you to religious life? Do you want to know more about the nature of religious life and the call to it? Father Moloney will be leading discussion centered on religious life and how to discern if God is calling us. If interested, contact Mariah Mullen mmullen at mit.edu. Copies of the book Discerning Religious Life are available in the office in W11-012
