The Eucharist & Catechesis
This course will focus on the core teaching about the Eucharist and how it challenges us on a personal level and as a diocese. These sessions will offer the opportunity to consider:
â?¢ the Eucharist as the source and summit of Christian life
â?¢ the Eucharist and real presence
â?¢ the Eucharist and sacrifice
â?¢ Eucharistic spirituality
â?¢ the Eucharist making Church
The sessions are being offered in locations throughout the Diocese so that all catechists can attend the core session plus the one relating to their area of catechetics.
Celebrate Love – at Ealing Abbey, Ealing, London
Celebrate Love promotes a healthy, celebratory attitude to sexuality and shows the link between sexuality and the spirituality of the sacrament of matrimony. The presentations give couples the insight to identify and change attitudes and behaviours that detract from the magnificent vision that God calls couples to live and the Church desires to sustain. Insights are drawn from some of the most experienced international relationship educators and the vision of marriage espoused in John Paul IIâ??s Love and Responsibility, and Theology of the Body for an effective renewal experience.
MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED THEM – reflections on a theology of the body. 28 April 2007 – Westminster Cathedral Hall, Ambrosden Avenue, London SW1
A major event welcoming the renowned scholar Professor Michael Waldstein (International Theological Institute, Gaming) and author of MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED THEM – a theology of the body (published in USA, copies will be on sale). To include visiting speakers on the subject and practical ideas for exploring further this vision for relating and building up community in family, home, workplace and Church.
So, some little signs of life then.
