ABOUT THE RETREAT
St. Matthew (Levi):
Apostle and Evangelist
This retreat is being given by Fr. Leo LeBlanc and Fr. Ken Cardinale. It begins with Mass at 11:15 AM on Tuesday, October 1 and concludes on Thursday, October 3 with Mass at 11:15 AM. It is given in a relaxed atmosphere with four talks. Both evenings will offer DVD Episodes from “The Chosen” series which specifically relate to St. Matthew. People are invited to bring munchies, desserts and beverages to share on Wednesday evening after the DVD.
Talks Will Explore:
-
the background of Matthew’s Gospel and his call to be an apostle.
-
The centrality of the Beatitudes as the blueprint of the whole Gospel
-
The importance of proclaiming the kingdom of heaven and revealing himself as light in our darkness
-
Although it will cost us everything, Jesus makes us rich in what counts. For we are saved by the self-sacrificing, indwelling love of a divine person, and not by abstract teachings.
Our primary text besides Matthew’s Gospel is the introduction to the Book Praying with St. Matthew’s Gospel, Fr. Peter Cameron, Ed. (Magnificat Publication)
