Life is a mystery and we are the players.
This presentation is a living-guided meditation on all aspects of human suffering, mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual. It deals with the overwhelming experiences of physical pain, sin and scars from our past, chronic, emotional, and terminal illness.
The five sorrowful mysteries of the Rosary are reflected on in this living meditation on the Passion and Death of Jesus. This evening begins with a prayer service, intercessory prayer to the Blessed Mother, and features some of the teen mystery players who witness to their experience of Jesus and their relationship with Him and how the Lord affects their lives.
This presentation follows the journey of the Stations of the Cross in Jesus passion and death. The meditations draw from the Lord’s life , a message for us and the world we live in today.
This meditation is based on St. Francis' recreation of the Nativity at Greccio, Italy, over 800 years ago. The Christmas mystery play is not a Christmas pageant, but attempts to portray the events surrounding the Lord’s birth as real as possible, from the birth to the slaughter of the innocents.
Drawing from the Life of St. Francis, this living meditation reflects on Francis’ conversion and life and how he radically followed Jesus. It is a powerful instrument for the Lord to practically show how to follow his commandments to love God and one another.
The Plays are dramatic multi-media presentations of five powerful living meditations.
They employ special lighting, inspirational music, drama, and soul-searching reflections, providing anyone who participates with the opportunity to get in touch with his or her sins, suffering, struggles and goodness. In a very unique way this prayerful experience becomes a powerful vehicle for the Lord's Spirit to forgive, heal, renew, and give peace.
