Morning of Lenten Reflection & Renewal through the lens of Salesian Spirituality
Live Jesus! 2023 is a half-day Lenten morning sponsored by the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. The reflection, fellowship, and prayer are based upon the humble and gentle spirituality of Saints Francis de Sales and Jane de Chantal.

"Be At Peace," is this year's theme. Attendees are invited to reflect on the many paths to peace.
Saint Francis de Sales tells us, “Inside each of us is a beautiful garden. We need to cultivate and prune it in order to give glory to God and be of service to others. Let us daily do this in peace, and thus experience the peace that only God can give.” Don't miss this opportunity to gather in prayer and fellowship to reflect on the peace that only God can provide.
Why Should I Attend Live Jesus!?
Salesian Spirituality helps believers develop a deeper relationship with God through Jesus by defining a lifestyle centered on the little virtues: gentleness, humility, patience, gratitude, perseverance, and simplicity. This special event is an opportunity in Lent to retreat from our fast-paced world and turn to the quietness of our hearts.
