In the second installment of the Catholicism Series Fr. Barron speaks on the Beatitudes and how freedom and joy are achieved through self-discipline and detachment from wealth, pleasure, power and honor. He gives an in-depth perspective on the story of the prodigal son and concludes with the idea that happiness is rooted in closeness to the one who gives us sufficiency and abundance. With the in-breaking of the kingdom of God, we change our perspective and gladly resolve to change the way we act to give our lives away to the path of love.
It seemed very appropriate less than a week after watching Fr. Barron's commentary on the Beatitides, when celerbrating the Feast of All Saints that the Beatitudes was the Gospel reading for the day. We continue with a deeper understanding.
Join us on Sunday November 4 at 5:30 in St. Luke's Church hall for pot luck supper followed by episode 3 of the Catholicism Series, and a group discussion, or if you cannot make the dinner, join us at 6:30 for the video and a group discussion.
