Lesson Ten Update

This was such an interesting lesson. It's been a rough time to be a Roman Catholic, and I know I struggle with having this strong urge to defend the Church that I love while keeping the virtues that the Church professes. When we take the time to examine what some of these virtues mean--in this case "meekness"--we get a better idea about how we are to respond. Spiritual warfare with spiritual weapons!

In case you weren't able to make it this week, here is a link to the notes I made for our lesson.
Lesson Ten Notes

I'll remind everyone in the next post as well, but be prepared to come to our next meeting to make a decision about what we are going to read over the summer and how we are going to conduct our Bible study next year. If you would like to do your own research, there are some links in a post below that will take you to some pertinent web sites.

Have a blessed Holy Week and a Happy Easter!

Lesson Ten: Paul Defends His Apostolic Ministry

If you are in the habit of printing out our study guide after you have done your lesson and just before we meet as a group, I would ask that you change up your routine this week. It will help our discussion tremendously if everyone could follow the suggestion to do a little pre-meeting research and reflection about the Christian definition of the quality of "meekness."

Don't forget, there's an extra week between our next meeting. We will be gathering to discuss Lesson Ten on March 25. We also need to make a decision soon about what we want to do next year, so review those options we talked about last time. In the post just below this one, I have provided some links to information about the materials we are considering. Hope they are helpful.
See you on the 25th!

And if you would like to learn more about the Shakespeare/Bible class lead by Jim Bofenkamp that Winnie had mentioned, I was able to locate a copy of the article online.
