The Third Sunday In Lent

The Third Sunday In Lent

Almighty God, who seest that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

10:00 a.m. - 10:45 a.m.

This course of study and lively discussion, based on a curriculum by Anthony Bartlett, identifies seven major themes of transformation working through the Holy Scriptures. With the guidance of Father Matthew Moretz, each of these themes, or “stories,” will be explored as they make their way throughout the Bible to the radical conclusion in Jesus Christ. Each story cycle is made up of three sections, the first two lessons focus on the Old Testament scriptures, the final lesson on Jesus Christ and the Gospels. Every cycle always looks to how Jesus interpreted and drew from His scriptures and traditions to create and complete His Mission. The way in which these motifs are connected from the beginning to the end of the Scriptures will provide insights and wisdom that are urgent and transforming.

If you would like to review the core Biblical texts for the class, please follow these links: here and here.

As a rule, our primary reference text will be the Authorized Version of the Bible, which will be available at every class.
