The Influence of Mark and the Q Source on Luke
Mary Ellen Sheehan, IHM, STD
Saturday, 24 February, 9:30am-12:30pm
Suggested Offering: $25
Luke’s Gospel contains unique sections not in Mark or Matthew. It is unique in that it contains so many passages which celebrate the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Think of the Annunciation and Visitation when Mary and Elizabeth greet each other and the Holy Spirit blesses their encounter. This workshop will set forth some central literary features of Matthew’s Gospel, its structure, and also engage us in spiritually nourishing reflections. How do we grow into the practice of Christian discipleship for our times today?
