Jesus invites each of us into a deeper, more profound relationship. It is a source of hope and encouragement. We are invited into metanoia – ongoing conversion, ongoing encounter with Jesus, our one true source of purpose, truth and love.
Saint Mary’s Café
Encounter Christ.
Metanoia. A Journey with Christ to Conversion.
Journey through the Holy Land with Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR, President of Franciscan University and founder of The Ministry of the Wild Goose. Throughout the series, the episodes will unpack the meaning of metanoia -- the Greek word means conversion, and much more: to change, to repent, to turn, and to think differently. It’s an ongoing process.
Each episode explores areas of our life where conversion is so often necessary. Join us for the most important journey of our lives, a journey of grace, hope, repentance, and transformation. This series invites us to a deeper and more profound conversion—a metanoia—that moves us from something to someone, as metanoia ultimately turns us to Jesus
Come, you are welcome to step into a more profound understanding and experience of Jesus’ deep and abiding love.
“This is the time of fulfillment.
The kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”
Mark. 1:15
The word “repent” in Greek has the root “metanoia.” At the very beginning of the Scriptures, Jesus is inviting us to metanoia.
Encounter hope and encouragement. Seek the transformative grace of the Holy Spirit. Respond to Jesus’ invitation to step closer.
