Church Chapel. Dana Brooks and Rose Roe from
the National Council of Catholic Women will be the
guest speakers. All women of the parish are invited
to attend.
The Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy
If we consider that God is the Divine Bridegroom
and the Church is his Bride, then the prophets can be
seen as “spiritual marriage counselors.” They afflict
the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, calling us
to return to our covenant relationship with God.
They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers
of sin, and announce the blessings of faithfulness.
Their prophetic words speak to us even today, as
they draw us closer to our heavenly Bridegroom.
Join St. Paul Church for this Great Adventure study
on the prophets, presented by Thomas Smith! Each
week, you will come to know a prophet from
Scripture and learn how his message sheds light on
our faith and our lives. In getting to know these
messengers of God, you will read Scripture and the
Catechism, while answering thought provoking
questions and powerful reflections. Plus, you will
learn practical ways to apply the messages of the
prophets in your own life.
A study on the prophets has been one of the most
requested programs from The Great Adventure.
Like A Quick Journey and The Bible Timeline, The
Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy places the
Old Testament prophets in context of salvation
history, making their personalities and contexts easy
to follow, understand, and relate to our lives.
St. Paul will begin The Prophets: Messengers of
God’s Mercy on February 11, at 10am and February
12 at 6pm. You will find it enriching and
inspirational.
