Join us Saturdays and Sundays during Advent in the Bishop Gerber room for the Opening the Word Series! Saturdays: 4:30-5:10PM and Sundays: 8-8:50AM and babysitting will be provided for the 10-10:50AM session.
Catholics today are hungering to understand the Bible better - especially the Sunday liturgy! Opening the Word will help you unpack the Sunday reading and you will be able to apply it to your life in a profound way! During Advent, join us. We will read the Sunday readings, watch a short video related to the readings, use a prayer journal for reflection and resolution, a small group sharing then all wrapped up with a closing prayer.
This 2nd Sunday of Advent, learn why the Church includes the reading about considering our sinfulness - for it it the Holy Spirit who breaks through the walls of our sinfulness and pride and illuminates our hearts. It is only through this illumination that we are able to set our feet on a new path, which leads to the abundant life that Jesus has promised is waiting for us.
In small groups we will ask why repentance is an essential part of faith. What it means to "return to the Truth".
Opening the Word app is now available. With this app, you will have the Sunday scripture reading for the entire liturgical year in the palm of your hand! You'll have commentary from scripture scholars revealing the messages and helping you.
