Each Thursday in St Brides Hall at 7pm

Week 1 - video below:

Week 2

Our second video presentation and discussion was entitled “Hearing God in Scripture” and we hope you had an opportunity to share your thoughts on how we can incorporate scripture into our daily prayer lives.

We believe that God’s Word is powerful, is personal and prunes us. When we read God’s word, He is able to speak to us in a way that shapes and directs our lives.

Week 3

Our third video presentation and discussion was entitled “The power of the Sacraments.”

It focused primarily on the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of the Eucharist.

Sacraments are visible signs of an invisible grace and our catechism defines grace as “free undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God.”

Ally Ascosi in this video told us of the four steps of the sacrament of Reconciliation – Conversion, Confession, Penance and Absolution.

We are told that Jesus is the Bread of Life and that the Eucharist nourishes us by the Lord’s supper. We experience intimacy with Christ and are given grace for the journey.

Week 4

Our fourth video presentation and discussion was entitled “Forgiving One Another.”

In this video Jesus calls us to forgive one another. In Matthew 6:14 we read “For if you forgive others their failings, your Heavenly Father will forgive you yours, but if you do not forgive others your Father will not forgive your failings either.”
