God Is Near Us: The Eucharist, The Heart of Life

Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church 705 Michigan Avenue, North Fond du Lac, WI, United States

“In the fundamental prayer of the Church, the Eucharist, the heart of our life is not merely expressed but is realized day after day. At the most profound level, the Eucharist has to do with Christ alone. He prays for us; he puts his prayer on our lips, for only he can say: This is my Body – This is my Blood” (119.) Such words from Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, written while yet Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, invite usto encounter the Lord who comes to meet us in reality. By taking Ratzinger as our teacher, we can find in his book - a collection of homilies, addresses, and articles–what is needed to live, to pray the Holy Mass and to worship the Eucharistic Heart of our Lord. The group will meet Saturdays, September 24-November 19 (excluding October 1 & 22) from 10:00 to 11:00 am in the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church and Basement. Required Materials: God Is Near Us: The Eucharist, The Heart of Life by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI) ($15) To find contact information for group leader, as well as to sign up, visit hffdl.org/sm.

Lectio: God the Trinity

Holy Family St. Agnes Library 271 Fourth Street Way, Fond du Lac, WI, United States

What do we mean when we say “God”? Misconceptions about God abound, even among Christians, and these misconceptions can become obstacles in our relationship with God. Join Augustine Institute Assistant Professor Dr. Elizabeth Klein for a careful study of Scripture that will lead you to a deeper and clearer awareness of who God is, equipping you to share this truth with others. Starting in the Old Testament, Dr. Klein presents what God says about himself at various points in salvation history, and how he revels to Israel that “the Lord is one” (Deuteronomy 6:4). Moving to the New Testament, Dr. Klein shows how this one God then reveals himself as three. Along the way you’ll get answers to questions such as, How can God be transcendent and personal? If God is one, how can Jesus be God? What does it mean that “God is love” (1 John 4:8)? Why is the doctrine of the trinity the central mystery of our faith when the word “Trinity” never appears in the Bible? Produced from our state-of-the-art studios, this dynamic program combines an in-depth biblical study with insightful questions, an explanation of common misunderstandings regarding God, and personal reflections that will strengthen your […]
