We’ll explore what really happened after Jesus’ crucifixion and tackle five common sceptical arguments about the resurrection story. Learn about Roman crucifixion and discover why this matters so much for our faith. As St. Paul said, without the resurrection, our faith means nothing!

•⁠ ⁠Are Catholic teachings on Mary really biblical?
•⁠ ⁠Or are they just the "traditions of men"? Is she truly the "Mother of God" or just the Mother of Jesus?
•⁠ ⁠Did she actually remain a virgin her whole life or do the "brothers of Jesus" refer to her other children?
•⁠ ⁠By praying to Mary, are Catholics "worshipping" her?
•⁠ ⁠And why are these points of doctrine relevant to securing a proper understanding of Jesus Christ?

Dates: 9, 16, 23 Feb (Sundays)

Bible Apostolate Team: An Advent Retreat with Mary

An Advent Bible study and retreat which will take you on a scriptural journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem by looking at Jesus through the eyes of the Virgin Mary. Learn about:

  • The Annunciation: What would Gabriel's announcement of the birth of Christ to Mary mean in its original Jewish context?
  • The Visitation: What do the words of Elizabeth to Mary reveal about the ancient Jewish prophecies of the lost Ark of the Covenant?
  • The Nativity: What would the “good news” have meant to Jews and pagans in the first century?
  • Epiphany: How did Jesus fulfill pagan prophecies of the future King of the World? What does the presence of the Wise Men at Bethlehem reveal about Mary’s true identity?
