Jesus’ Ministry and Our Call to Justice
Since the time of the Reformation, there have been disagreements about social justice and personal piety. How do we balance the call to discipleship and personal holiness with Jesus’ strong concern for the poor and disenfranchised, especially considering current events?
Our discussion will focus on Jesus’ proclamation of the Reign of God in the Gospel, with particular emphasis on the Judgement of the Nations in Matthew 25, his Mission Statement in Luke 4, and the implications for our living as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Guided by Tony Tamberino.
All are welcome to attend the Friends Day of Prayer retreats, held monthly on the first Wednesday of the month. It is not required to attend every month, so register for one or more sessions as your schedule allows. While the presenters and topics vary, each Friends Day of Prayer typically includes pastries and conversation at 9:30am, a morning presentation at 10am, an optional Mass, a delicious lunch, short periods of free time to enjoy the grounds or shop in the bookstore, and an afternoon presentation.
