As you make your plans for Lent this year, make plans to immerse yourself in the Passion and Resurrection Narratives of Jesus. The printed materials have been revised and the wrap-up lectures are entirely new. Speakers include: Deacons Matthew Glover, Tom Jakobs and Dan Hennessey, along with Msgr. David LeSieur, Catherine Upchurch, and Clifford Yeary.
We’re pleased to announce two new volumes of Alive in the Word, available this month.
Our newest in the category of Cloud of Witnesses is John the Baptist, Forerunner by Jerome Kodell, OSB. Father Jerome focuses on three episodes in the life of the baptizer: the preaching of John (Matt 3:1-11), the identity of the Messiah (Matt 11:2-14) and the friend of the bridegroom (John 3:22-30).
Our newest in the category of Virtues for Disciples is a volume entitled Hope, An Anchor in Today’s World. Janet Schaeffler, OP, explores the hope that flows from praise (Ps 145:13-21), suffering in light of what is to come (Rom 8:18-27) and the story of the blind beggar who places his hope in Jesus (Luke 18:35-43).
We’d love to hear from you about your experiences using Little Rock Scripture Study or Alive in the Word. Visit our Facebook page to post your comments or contact us directly by email at lrss@dolr.org.
