Wednesday 4/25,  we’ll be back at Holy Spirit to watch the fourth episode in the Catholicism Series we started in January.  It’s titled “OUR TAINTED NATURE’S SOLITARY BOAST: MARY, THE MOTHER OF GOD” and a short summary is below.  We’ll be meeting in the Connect room in the basement of Holy Spirit at 7:30 and will head over to Applebees afterwards for food and fellowship. 

 

In this episode, Father Barron masterfully correlates the Catholic Faith’s testimony to the revelation of God in Christ with the vivid practices of reverence offered to his Mother. Mary is explained as “an on-going presence, an actor in the life of the Church. Father Barron journeys to the humble remains of Mary’s house in Nazareth, to the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus and to the great Marian shrines of Lourdes and Guadalupe to explain the Church’s teachings about Mary as the Mother of God, the Immaculate Conception and the dogma of the Assumption.
