Archbishop Listecki's Message Volunteer Appreciation Dinner & Dance! The Catholic Stewardship Appeal enables the Archdiocese of Milwaukee to advance the work and mission of the Church throughout southeastern Wisconsin. United in spirit and faith we extend our blessings to help care for our brothers and sisters in need. With your help, we can accomplish so much. Truly,We Are Onein Christ. Though we are a people of varying backgrounds, naonalies and ethnicies, we are drawn together by and through a common faith, common values, and a deep and abiding love for the Catholic Church. We need to support that Church to the best of our ability. Luke s gospel tells us that if we only do what we are obliged to do, we have not lived our faith. We must go above and beyond what is merely being asked of us to truly be alive in it. It s up to each of us to seize this moment by comming our hearts, our minds, and our souls to meet, know and live Christ as we work together to fully realize the vision, mission and sacramental life of the Church this year and in the years to come. Won t you please join me in helping to fulfill this vision and mission by supporng the Appeal? I d be grateful for your support. My prayers are with you. God s blessings!

The 1% C TM is to help you get to know Jesus by taking 1% of Your Day (15 minutes) to pray with scripture for 30 days. Experience the difference when you spend 1% of your day alone with God in an uninterrupted quiet me of prayer. Everything you need is on your card, just make the me. Get Started Make an appointment (yes, put it in your calendar). The same me every day is helpful. Many spiritual masters suggest that the morning before the distracons of the day crowd your mind is a privileged me for prayer. The best me for you to pray is the me that you will actually do it, so find the me that works for your life. Choose a locaon that will work for your life. Find a quiet place with limited distracons. While it is good to pray while doing other acvies, such as driving or brushing your teeth (don't stop doing these things), try to give God your undivided aen- on for this 1% of your day. Turn off your cell phone. Whatever it is can wait 15 minutes. Find a comfortable (but not too comfortable) posion. Some people find that kneeling works, others sing in a favorite chair, or at a table, standing, pacing, or lying prostrate. You may want to experiment to find what works best for you. Do it! The 1% Challenge Card offers you one suggested scripture passage per day. The most important thing is to begin. If you show up every day and ask Jesus to teach you, he will.
