I want to share some words about the new links on our website and the upcoming Bible Study.
Some of you may have noticed the new function in the right column with links to today’s Mass readings, psalm and reflection. This is a good way both to find the daily readings and at the same time you can get some words of reflection over the readings. Daily reading the Bible can surly deepen our faith and our relationship with God – the Bible is the word of God that speaks to us in our lives. That is why it is so important to get to know the Bible better and better.
In the Student Group we will have a Bible Study this semester. We want to know more about the Bible and how to read it. The goal with this Bible study is precisely to encourage the use of the Bible in our daily life, by educating us and helping us to start. Like Mary Elizabeth Sperry writes:
The Bible is not addressed only to long-dead people in a faraway land. It is addressed to each of us in our own unique situations. When we read, we need to understand what the text says and how the faithful have understood its meaning in the past. In light of this understanding, we then ask: What is God saying to me?
This Wednesday, the 24th of March, we will start with an introduction to the Bible study. Bring your Bible with you if you have one and join us in some hours of studying, listening and talking. I’m positive that this is the beginning of something interesting, educational and fun. But most importantly this is a way to grow deeper in our faith and relationship with God.
