4TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME, YEAR I
MARK 6:30-34
Friends, today’s Gospel shows Jesus’ compassion for the multitude in the desert.... [This story is meant to remind us of] the people Israel in the desert.... [In the Gospel as in the time of Moses,] we see people who are dying to be fed and a prophet who is under threat of death. This crowd around the threatened Jesus is a metaphor for the Church. We have come to him because we are hungry, and we stay even when things look bleak.BJ's Challenge: Do "we stay, even when things look bleak"? Does your community foster an intimate relationship with Jesus?
We can only grow as a community insofar as we bring folks to a gospel encounter with Jesus, Our Lord. This is the purpose and goal of every Catholic Biblical School activity.
So come to our free, open to the public, Celebration of Sacred Scripture, where Dr. Harry Attridge will lead us to encounter Jesus in the Gospel of John! St. Thomas Seminary, Bloomfield, Saturday, March 25, 2017, 12:30-4:30 (food and fellowship at noon). Register online here: http://www.orehartford.org/
