SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPEL: LUKE 13: 22 – 30
‘Strive to enter by the narrow door.’ Jesus himself is on his journey to Jerusalem; purposeful and determined. His followers will also be purposeful and determined. This is true of any journey, career or relationship if there is to be growth or progress. What is it like for you when you fail to do this? What is it like for you when the effort is there?
THE ROAD TO EMMAUS and Beyond. A book by Fr Denis McBride, Redemptorist. The story gives Christians a perfect reminder of coming to know Jesus as Lord in the Eucharist. The two disciples meet a stranger who helps them make sense of what happened in Jerusalem in Holy Week, giving them fresh hope. Order online: www.rpbooks.co.uk Telephone: 01420 88222.
The Road to Emmaus book is priced at £9.95.
ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT: Sunday: 1:30pm to 7pm.
