Travel Maps Program

Travel Maps reflects on how we can deepen our relationship with the Lord, allow him to lead, and remain faithful as we make our path along the ”narrow way.” The series focuses on the progression in the spiritual life from starting out, growing in our relationship with the Lord, through persevering in the life of the Spirit so that we “finish well.”

The book is set out in four modules or sections. The first module, “Stamina,” explores how we can resist the lies of the enemy and reach a level of stability and confidence in the spiritual life. The second, “Determination,” reflects on what is required in order to persevere. The third, “The Litmus Test,” focuses mainly on how we can exercise the virtues. And the last, “The Goal,” speaks of the wonderful destination that we are traveling to and how we can prepare for our arrival.

The Travel Maps book consists of 20 reflections on the spiritual life and is the third and final book in the Waymarks series. The following resources accompany the book. Here you will find MP3 audio files of all of the chapters. Simply expand the section below to listen to the files. The reflections are divided into 4 modules.

A group or individual might choose to go through all 20 reflections sequentially, or may choose one or more modules, or even choose individual topics to discuss as seems most appropriate for the group at any given time. Each chapter concludes with questions for discussion or further pondering.

Copies of the handbook are available at no charge at the church exits and at the parish office at 1514 E. Michigan Avenue, Lansing, MI 48912.
