Lay Leaders in the CSSJ Mission and Tradition
“Our charism… sends us into the world as continuous acts of love, a love that is active and inclusive, patient and enduring, fearless and tender, forgiving and giving, steady and steadfast. It forms bridges, makes connections easier and facilitates life for others, enabling them also to stir up love in our world.” Sister Marcia Allen, CSJ Concordia, KS

Personal Reflection
(choose the questions that speak to you)
| 1. When have I experienced self-emptying in my everyday life? How am I being freed for love? |
| 2. In what situation might I practice more humility? |
| 3. How much do I depend on my own strength and abilities? What might be the invitation, particularly in my role as leader? |
| 4. How do I use the gifts of others in my ministry; how do I foster leadership? |
| 5. Have I ever experienced a time in leadership when something fell apart? What was the invitation for me in that moment? |
| 6. Can I relate the stories of one or two leaders who model self-emptying? |
