Lent Program: The Passion of the Lamb: The Self-Giving Love of Jesus
A Book and Discussion Series facilitated by
Dr. Kathleen Borres, Adult Faith Formation team member.
Thursdays, March 3 - April 7 ( 6 Sessions)
10:00 am - 11:30 am
In-person and Zoom
THE BOOK FOR THIS CLASS IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE ($13.50) AT THE PARISH. (Contact Janet for your copy: jhassan@bedeva.org)Using the Book: The Passion of the Lamb by Thomas Acklen, OSB, participants will read assigned chapters and come to class prepared for a guided discussion.
There are many things we face today bringing fear into our midst from terrorism, disease, and poverty to global collapse. Yet in the midst of our world stands Jesus Christ, undaunted by the brutal realities of a world that rejects him. And as He looks at each of us, he asks directly and personally, "Will you have faith in me?"
In this powerful book, Fr. Acklin, reveals the passionate love of God for every person that will not be denied or defeated. God is for us in spite of our indifference and will never abandon us. God will always seek out the wounded and lost. We have this guarantee that this is so because the Passion of Jesus clinched the deal confirming God's commitment to His creation. This book answers the only question that ultimately matters: Will you have faith in Jesus?
