FIRST SESSION OF THE SACHEART DADS GROUP STARTS WITH A HEARTY DISCUSSION OF THE HOLY WEEK AND EASTER MYSTERIES.............

The introductory session  of the Sacred Heart Parish young Dads Group began tonight with three dads in attendance, Tom Davenport, Ryan Seeley, and Jesus Arredondo, for what was a lively discussion.  The basis of our study, discussion, and spiritual journey, is Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI's second volume of "Jesus Of Nazareth", which is subtitled, 'Holy Week : From The Entrance Into Jerusalem To The Resurrection'.  After opening with Prayer, we read together the Foreward to the book and the intention and purpose with which Benedict XVI wrote it as a theologian seeking to present the "real Jesus", with a new interpretation and understanding he refers to as the historical-faith hermeneutic.  We engaged in a lively conversation about the meaning of the words and teachings as written by the now retired Roman Pontiff.  I share a Summary of tonight's material and then we joined in a highlighted preview of the text of the First Chapter, we will take up next week.  I am pleased and feel further privileged to have this opportunity to share in the continuing adult faith formation and increase in spirituality, the Dads Group seeks, that our Pastor Msgr. Walton and these fine men have invited me to facilitate.  I look forward to the wonderful experience of faith, formation, spirituality, and fellowship, it will surely be for me and for them.............tdp
