Are you wondering about God's Will for your life? Or do you know someone who is? Then you may benefit from attending a Quo Vadis? reflection night.
Quo Vadis? is an opportunity to experience prayer and fellowship with others who are discerning the Vocation that God may be calling them to.
The term "quo vadis?" is Latin for "where are you going?" It refers to the encounter between St Peter and Jesus Christ on the Appian Way.
Peter, fleeing from the persecutions of the Emperor Nero, had a vision of Christ whom he asked "Domine, quo vadis?" (Lord, where are you going?) Jesus answered him, "Where I am going, you cannot follow me now; but you will follow afterward." (John 13:36). Peter understood this to mean that Jesus was going back to Rome to be crucified again. Peter, following his own fate, returned to Rome and was crucified at the foot of the Vatican Hills where St Peter's Basilica stands today.
Quo Vadis? reflection nights are led by Fr Anthony Denton, director of vocations at Holy Spirit Parish, 248 Raleigh Street, East Thornbury (Melways Map 30 K5) and begin at 6pm on the last Friday of each month (from Feb - Nov). This year, the Quo Vadis? program will focus on the role of virtue as a means of growth in the spiritual life of a man.* Please RSVP to the Vocations Office on 9926.5733 before attending.
