SPIRITUALITY 101 
by Deacon Jim Breazile ocds

Deacon Jim Breazile has graciously agreed to share his Spirituality 101 series with us on our Metuchen Cursillo web site. Spirituality 101 is a series of meditations, shared thoughts and personal reflections Deacon Jim offers us to aid us in developing a personal, mature spirituality.

About The New Catholic Catechism
"Unfortunately many Catholics do not have a copy of the New Catholic Catechism.  I will therefore insert the articles from the Catechism that are referred to in these reflections. It would be helpful, however, to read the articles that are not used in these reflections. The Modern Christian must be armed with a thorough knowledge of both the Bible and the teachings of the Church that gave us the Bible and is the only authority that can give its interpretation.  The New Catholic Catechism is that interpretation."

"These reflections grew out of a need by many people for spiritual direction and growth.  Realizing that this does not replace a personal spiritual director, I have begun this series to lay a basis for an understanding of the message of the Scriptures, the Teachings of the Church and the Magisterium. "

Links to the reflections can be found below, grouped into categories.
