Good morning Roots,

May this email find you well.
I am sure you are busy but enjoying the summer as well.  

Maybe you are doing this already, but my suggestion for continuing to nourish your spirituality, strengthening your prayer life, and deepening your group/community relationship,
would be to use media such as Formed, Focus on the Family/Marriage podcasts, bishop Barron weekly podcast, and James Martin newest book Learning to Pray, or any spirituality book, in your meetings.  

Formed is a free Catholic platform filled with rich content of movies and audio.  You can use my parish Holy Spirit Catholic Church code: KNHQW4. There is other way to access it if you have issue with signing up.


Focus on the Family or Marriage podcasts are inspiring and practical.  I wish I had knew about this when I just got married.  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/focus-on-the-family-broadcast/id290803395

Bishop Barron’s weekly podcast talk about the scripture passage for the Sunday.  

And lastly, Fr Martin’s book just came out at the beginning of this year and we all can learn more about how we can pray more effectively.  I have not read it yet but I listened to the podcast about it.  

You can use these sources to zoom in on topics for the meetings and come up with a couple suggestive questions to facilitate accountability and sharing. 

You help me to deepen my faith and live out the Catholic life as well.   Therefore, I am happy to be a prayer companion by attending your meeting once in a while, through Zoom or in person.   Just include me in the email for the week about what movie or podcast one wants the group to watch or listen to.  

I hope this suggestion would be helpful.  You can text me for any question if it is easier for you.

Anh Tiến.

Yes, I reached out to chi Phuong Ha last month and she provided us with a list. 

However, we would love to have anh Tien continue to journey with us as a prayer companion if available.

Oops, Diana, I forgot to tell you that if Roots still desires to have a group guide, please reach out to chi Phuong Ha :)  Anh Tien did not do the group guide training, but he is a wonderful prayer companion :)

(Diana, can you please relay the message to Roots for us? Thanks!)

Hi Chau, Diana & Vinh, Jenn & Chris, Phuong & Michael, Vianney,

Anh Tien and chi Dung had lunch yesterday, and anh Tien was given your beautiful succulents and card :)

We both shared the graces that we had received while journeying with you all.  We also share our concerns about the SEDL 2nd Itinerary, for it does require 30 minutes of prayer each day and the weekly material has two parts with more scripture passages.... 

Anh Tien had some wonderful ideas about what Roots could do to enhance your spiritual life while being sensitive to the extremely busy schedule of a young family, 1st or 2nd time parents, etc.  I think it would be best if one of Roots members could talk to anh Tien directly about his suggestions, for I don't remember the books and Podcasts that he had mentioned.
  
Again, thank you for giving me the privilege to journey and to grow in love with you all.

Keeping you in my heart and prayers,
Chi Dung
