Join Sr. Catherine Gormley after the Sunday, 9:00 am Mass in the rectory dining room. This last session of the season will look at two letters side by side, both probably written from a time when Paul was in prison. In the letter to Philemon, Paul is writing about a very delicate question of receiving back his runaway slave, “Onesimus”. It is a very short letter, having only one chapter, but may provoke some lively discussion. In the letter to the Colossians, Paul explains some very deep theology, using the great Christological hymn (1 Col. 15-20) This shows Jesus as being present and active at the creation of the world and who has also redeemed us by the cross. Paul also explains some of the false teachings that were rampant at that time and encourages the community at Colossae to persevere loyally, to love one another and to enter into every relationship IN the Lord.
