"And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well." - Matthew 5:40
"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." - John 15:13
"'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
'The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’" - Matthew 25:35-40
Love means action. Love speaks powerfully in words, but becomes real when we live it out. ? A love for which Dr. King wasn't afraid to risk and give his life. A love that Jesus exemplifies in his life, death, and resurrection. How can we exemplify the revolutionary love of Jesus?
Blessings,
Nadia
Clairvaux Service Retreat Interest Meeting
Thursday, Jan 29, 2015, 12:15 PM
GAC 151 - Community Room
RSVPs are enabled for this event.
Clairvaux Service Retreat
You are invited to spend your spring break with fellow Naz students along with children and families who have been affected by homelessness. We will take the week to work with Deep Roots and the people they serve as we learn more about poverty and homelessness and the ways in which we can make a true difference. If you are looking for an opportunity to serve and to explore the intersection of spirituality and social justice, then we hope you will consider joining us in March!
"Deep Roots works with children and their families, who are disconnected through homelessness or other similar marginalization: connecting hearts. Our program will challenge children to envision a brighter future, to sustain healthy relationships and to navigate a course towards personal and social responsibility through better life experiences, with mentors, providing healthy life-models for all future relationships."
Contact Nadia Mullin at nmullin7@naz.edu for more information.
Applications are available from Nadia or Ruth on the 1st floor of GAC.

Open to the Public
The stirring husband-and-wife folk duo Kim & Reggie Harris combine their love of music and social vision into accomplished, heartfelt songs.”
– All Music Guide
Catholic musicians and storytellers, Kim and Reggie Harris combine a strong folk and gospel legacy with a solid background in classical, rock and pop music. Creative curiosity, years of road and stage experience and interactions with performers such as Pete Seeger, Ysaye Barnwell, Jay Leno, Tom Paxton, Bernice Johnson Reagon, Harry Belafonte and others, has led them to produce music that entertains and inspires.
