Week of: May 15, 2022
In the Psalms and the Gospels, it mentions how people of faith "go up to Jerusalem". It’s a term that
captures ascending spiritually to the city of God. But it also covers the geography because it rests on a high mount. We literally need to travel uphill to reach Jerusalem from Tel Aviv airport or the Jordan River valley on the other side.
Pray for us as we walk the path of Christ and gradually rise up to new levels of faith as we do so. When we return, parishioners will be on fire with an image of Jesus that is no longer black & white but
technicolor.
"And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a
bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as
their God."
Rev. 21:2-3
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN PREP?

"The Lamb of God," "The Bread of Life," "The Body and the Blood of Christ"—these are phrases we know from the Mass. But do we understand what they mean in the greater context of Church teaching? In this program, discover firsthand how Christ's Body and Blood are an integral part of God's plan for our salvation.

The Four Last Things: Death, Judgement, Heaven, Hell by Fr. Mike Schmitz
