"We have learned the plan of our salvation from no one else other than from those through whom the gospel has come down to us. For they did at one time proclaim the gospel in public. And, at a later period, by the will of God, they handed the gospel down to us in the Scriptures-to be the 'ground and pillar of our faith.'" - St. Irenaeus the Godbearer

As the Great Feast of the Nativity draws closer, we will ponder God’s gift of Himself to us, and consider how we can make a gift of ourselves to Him with the prayers of the Church in this holy season as our guide.

The celebration of baptism, chrismation and Eucharist together is not simply a practicality. These mysteries are closely connected and must be understood in light of each other. Using Scripture, Fr. Sebastian will show us how these mysteries are not just a symbol, but truly make us the People of God.

The liturgy is intricately intertwined with piety and theology. Join us as we explore how the liturgy draws us into the mystery of the Kingdom, enabling us to see the world in its light, and thus live more authentic Christian lives which integrate the mystery we celebrate with what we believe and what we live.
