Easter Season Online Book Study - The Sanctifier
2024-04-30 19:30 - 21:00 UTC
Easter Season Online Book Study – The Sanctifier During Lent, we spend 40 days striving to live out the season of penance and fasting well. It is important to keep in mind that the purpose of our Lenten practices is to help us make room in our hearts to receive the gifts that God wants to give us. We will spend 50 days celebrating the Easter season, which will end with the celebration of Pentecost, the descent of the Holy Spirit, on May 19.
What does Pentecost mean for us? Who is the Holy Spirit and how does He work in our lives?
Join us in our upcoming online book study as we learn the answers to these questions in reading the classic work on the Holy Spirit, The Sanctifier by Archbishop Luis M. Martinez. This is an advanced read for Christians.
We will read The Sanctifier over the course of 8 weeks, beginning on Tuesday, April 23!
This theological book study is led by Tricia Bølle and Fr. Isaiah Mary Molano, OP
