Preparing the Heart for Sunday Mass
A new weekly Bible Study to help parishioners prepare for a fruitful celebration of the Sunday Eucharist by studying prayerfully the Sunday Scriptures. This program will also draw on documents from Bishops, Popes and the Vatican on interpreting the Scriptures. It will focus upon “The Kerygma”, that is, the proclamation of the story of Jesus which leads people to conversion of heart and Intentional Discipleship.
Each meeting will include a 'Lectio Divina' on one of the readings, letting the Scriptures speak to our hearts, and direct us in ways both spiritual and pastoral. It will also introduce week by week various different methods of studying the Scriptures, as taught in the following Magisterial documents, and to practice applying them to the Sunday Scriptures:- Dei Verbum Vatican II 1963
- The Historicity of the Gospels Pontifical Biblical Commission 1964
- The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church PBC 1993
- The Jewish People and their Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible PBC 2002
- The Bible and Morality Pontifical Biblical Commission 2008
- Verbum Domini Pope Benedict XVI 2010
- Preaching the Mystery of Faith US Conference of Catholic Bishops 2012
- Homiletic Directory Congregation for Divine Worship 2015
I suggest participants use At Home With the Word which contains the Readings fro every Sunday of the year. I will have copies available when we meet. Cost $7.00
