Catholicism 301
 
This insightful retreat focuses on the central observance of Christianity:  the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus.  Tom Weston leads us on a powerful tour of scripture to discover what it means to be a Catholic.  How can understanding the life and teachings of Jesus help us surrender the illusions of ego and find a personal spiritual awakening?  Among the broad range of topics covered are:  the meaning of the incarnation; the historic roots of the Catholic faith; grief and healing; the isolation of resentment, hatred and sin; the gift of grace; the power of faith and prayer; the origin and meaning of the Sacraments; and the message of the Crucifixion. He describes the events of Jesus' last days and shows how understanding their significance can enrich and empower our lives. (04/95)
