2015 Bible Study at St. Margaret's: THE PSALMS: THE PRAYER OF JESUS

Posted

The 2015 Bible Study Series at St. Margaret Church, Rumford, is entitled "The Psalms: The Prayer of Jesus" and will be presented by Sister Dianne Bergant, C.S.A., PhD., the distinguished professor of Biblical Studies at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago. Sister is the former President of the Catholic Biblical Association of America and former editor of The Bible Today, as well as a prolific author and contributor to the Jesuits' America magazine. Starting by outlining the vitality of the Sacred Scriptures and the framework for exploring the Psalms, Sister will take participants on a journey through the Psalms of the Old Testament and offer fresh insights into the New Testament. "The Psalms form an essential prayer of Jesus", said Sister Dianne, "that provide believers with a path to faith, gratitude, praise and joy."

Sessions will be held on 12 Sunday evenings from Jan. 4th through Lent, from 6:30-7:30pm in the Community Room of St. Margaret Church, Rumford, RI. They will include a 25 minute DVD presentation by Sister Dianne, followed by guided discussion led by Msgr. William McCaffrey, Pastor. Sessions are free-of-charge and open to all, but pre-registration is required. Call the Parish Office to register: (401) 438-3230.
