Sisters of Providence to host ‘The Gospel of Matthew’ retreat on Sept. 17
Providence Sister Cathy Campbell will host a retreat on the Gospel of Matthew in the Providence Hall conference room, 1 Providence Place, in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, St. Mary-of-the-Woods, from 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sept. 17.
“The Gospel of Matthew differs from the other Gospels because it was composed for and proclaimed to a Jewish audience by a Jewish author trying to teach his fellow Jews to recognize Jesus and his ministry as fulfilling the many Scriptures about the Messiah found throughout the Hebrew Scriptures with which they would have been very familiar,” says Sister Cathy.
The retreat will look at five primary passages in the Gospel of Matthew: the Beatitudes, the disciples’ mission to proclaim the Messiah, the parables of the kingdom, the formation of a community to continue Jesus’ work, and the last judgment.
During the retreat, participants will explore and pray these five sermons in an attempt to identify who Jesus is, and how Christians can find a map for thriving in a changing world. Time will be included for quiet prayer and journaling.
The cost is $45, which includes lunch.
The registration deadline is Sept. 12. Registration is available online at Events.SistersofProvidence.org, by calling 812-535-2952, or by e-mailing jfrost@spsmw.org.
