Once again, I am so sorry to have to have missed the last meeting of our year of study of the Pastoral Letters. Thanks to Madge for taking over for me and for the entire group to pitch in and help in the discussion of the third and final chapter of St. Paul's Letter to Titus. I know it was a busy day at church and some had other obligations to help with the preparations for the Triduum. If that was the case, I do hope that you'll take the time to finish the final lesson on your own. The last chapter of this letter is an important wrap up for the study of all the Pastorals.
It was an appropriate day to finish the study of the Pastorals. Traditionally, Holy Thursday is the day that all priests renew their priestly promises. And as the Church celebrates the Mass of the Last Supper, we commemorate the institution of the Holy Eucharist and the priestly Order--all guided by Paul's Pastoral Letters.
Here are my notes for the lesson:
Titus 3 Notes
If you missed the meeting and would like to come to our breakfast on April 16, please email or call me by April 14 so that I can make reservations.
Thanks so much for a wonderful year. Watch the bulletin in late summer for registration for next year's study of the Letter to the Hebrews. Have a great summer!
