UPCOMING MEETING:Thursday, November 15: The LORD of the Sea“Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey him?” - Mk 4:41
Some scholars and theologians believe the Gospel of Mark has a low Christology, meaning it’s less about the Divinity of Christ and more emphasizes his humanity. Dr. Cavadini will take us through a deeper read of the Gospel and put that notion to rest. By the end of the session you will have a new understanding of this incredible Gospel and deeper contemplation of Christ.Like the characters in the gospel itself, you will be “amazed” and “astonished”. As we are feeding on the Word of God, St. Mark will lead us back to our first Spiritual Food as well, the Eucharist. This is one you don’t want to miss. Invite a friend! See you there!

Ellsberg, in his warm and accessible style, shares multiple
stories to show that saints are not proclaimed as such, solely because of the way they died or their visions or
wondrous deeds. They are saints for their extraordinary capacity for goodness and love and for their trust in the
“helping hand of God” in the face of trails.
