Here is the weekly teaching for Catholics. Join me in watching, reading, learning, and studying our beautiful faith. This week, the lesson is on the the great teachings of Jesus to love our enemies and the just war theory, on the prodigal son and conversion and on the sheep and the goats with the call to care for others.
Watch the videos, read the scriptures, prayer and reflect
-- Fr. Daniel
HERE IS THE TOPIC FOR THIS WEEK'S LESSON
Why Jesus is so counter-cultural today
For centuries, people have described Jesus’s teachings as counter-cultural. They go against the grain, against how our culture tells us to live.
In what ways? Among other things, Jesus taught non-violence, unconditional love, and radical forgiveness.
Watch this video to discover more of his counter-cultural path:
Questions:
- What are the two ways we usually respond to a threat? What is Jesus’ third way?
- Consider the parable of the Prodigal Son. What does it tell us about God’s response to sinners like us?
- Imagine you are standing in front of Jesus on Judgment Day as described in Matthew 25. What actions will get you counted among the sheep and not the goats?
