Sunday Afternoon

Gospel Reflection during Lent

“The Gospel of St John”

You are invited to join us to view a DVD by Jean Vanier, founder of l’Arche,

where he slowly opens up St John’s gospel, a few verses at a time,

with great warmth and compassion.

Jean offers a rich reflection, bringing fresh insight in to the

Gospel of John and our own humanity - and invites us to immerse

ourselves fully in its message of transforming love, peace and hope.

There will be a short time to sit with our reflections before

meditation (optional) at 5pm.

Time:

4pm (Gospel reflection) 5pm (Meditation)

Where:

Lounge Room

St Francis Xavier Presbytery McKenzie St, Lavender Bay

When:

Sunday February 21 – Sunday March 28, 2010

(6 weeks)
