Has the question ‘What is the meaning of my life?’ ever crossed your mind? What are we here for, what’s the reason behind this life? It’s a big question. Whether you believe in God or not or if you're active or inactive in your faith, we all ask it. We all wrestle with it in one way or another.

Do you want to live a life that has meaning? We don’t think anyone is neutral on this question. It's an impulse we all have. That goes for atheists, Christians, agnostics…all of us.

Christianity holds that life does mean something. And there is a Way to live life to the fullest.

Jesus said he came to give us life, full abundant, overflowing, complete life (John 10:10b). A Full life, one of meaning, IS accessible to us. You don’t have to wonder what you’re here for.

We CAN get there, and we get our directions from Jesus. We have to follow him if we want our lives to be full. And it makes sense. To find the meaning of our lives, we go to the source of life, and we follow. 

So we’ve established that we all seek a life of meaning, and Jesus is the way to a life with meaning. So, how do we follow him?  

Well, this entire fall, winter, and spring, we are doing a full court press to focus on the core aspects just that! By honing in on keys to following Jesus, we’ll also discover how to fill our lives with what really matters. To do what we were made to do.

So if you want to be spiritually healthy, if you want to give meaning and direction to your life and begin to more fully practice your Catholic Faith, engage with St. Joe’s this fall through spring. And that’s only the beginning.

We can only imagine the amazing things God can do. Stay faithful to following Jesus, and before you know it, we’ll be transforming Libertyville, Chicago, the country, and even impacting the world to be a place of lives well and fully lived...leaving any empty, flat, or two dimensional ways behind. 

So, are you ready? Let’s do it.
