Come Celebrate Our Mother |
|
Mary embraces God's will and freely chooses to cooperate with God's grace, thereby fulfilling a crucial role in God's plan of salvation. Throughout the centuries, the Church has turned to the Blessed Virgin in order to come closer to Christ. Many forms of piety toward the Mother of God developed that help bring us closer to her Son. In these devotions to Mary, "while the Mother is honored, the Son, through whom all things have their being and in whom it has pleased the Father that all fullness should dwell, is rightly known, loved and glorified and . . . all His commands are observed." The Church honors her as the Mother of God, looks to her as a model of perfect discipleship, and asks for her prayers to God on our behalf. |

NEW Young Adult Ministry Study
The St. Stephen Young Adult ministry continues to meet online. On Jan 12, we will start a study of Revelation, a controversial and confusing book. Our study is based on Ascension Press’ 11-session video. We will discover what the mysterious figures and images of Revelation mean and see how Revelation is more than an apocalyptic vision of the “end times.” This study is for anyone who has never read and/or understood Revelation. Please check out the trailer.
We meet 7-9 pm on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month. We watch a movie and have an open discussion. If you have the time and want to get a deeper understanding of Revelation, there is a workbook available from Ascension Press for approximately $30. The workbook has questions to highlight some nuances in the readings and with it you get access to the 11 online videos in case you miss one of our meetings.
