Do you believe that God’s word has power to set you free and
to transform your life? When Jesus taught he spoke with authority.
He spoke the word of God as no one had spoken it before. When
the Rabbis taught they supported their statements with quotes from
other authorities. The prophets spoke with delegated authority“Thus says the Lord.” When Jesus spoke he needed no authorities
to back his statements. He was authority incarnate– the Word of
God made flesh. When he spoke, God spoke. When he commanded
even the demons obeyed.
The people who heard Jesus teach and saw him heal in today’s
Gospel were said to have been astonished and amazed by the authority of his teaching. So compelling were Jesus’ words and actions
that the news about him could not be contained; it spread quickly
throughout all of Galilee. Two thousand years later, the news about
Jesus continues to spread. We are called to participate in sharing
the Good News of Jesus with others in our words and in our deeds.

An 8– Part Study Featuring Jeff Cavins
A Quick Journey Through the Bible provides an excellent introduction
and overview of Scripture from a Catholic perspective.
This eight part series, presented by Jeff Cavins, covers salvation history from
beginning to end. The complexity of the Bible is made accessible through an easyto-follow narrative approach, and an ingenious color-coded Bible Timeline. As you
begin to understand the Bible, you will develop a greater understanding for your
faith, a deeper experience of the sacraments, and a closer relationship to Christ.
DATES:
8 Wednesdays during Lent/Easter:
March 4, 11, 18, 25
April 15, 22, 29
May 6
LOCATION & TIME:
“ The effect on my parishioners
has been wonderful: a deeper love
for Christ, a deeper experience
with the sacraments, and continued love for the Scriptures.”
- Fr. Becker, Minnesota
6:30PM-8PM at the Lourdes Parish Hall
COST/REGISTRATION:
$20 per participant
Registration forms coming soon!
