A large group of people interested in getting to know St. Paul more profoundly gathered to hear Fr. Penna’s competent and enthusiastic presentation of Ephesians 1:1-14–a passage that gives readers a glimpse into the heart, personality and rich thought of the Apostle, who opens his letter with words of gratitude for the blessing and salvation brought to us by Christ, the Son of God. In this letter, Paul rises to the heights of contemplation of the mystery of Christ, whose death on the cross redeemed humanity from sin.
At the end of the conference, time was dedicated to comments and clarifications. This first encounter, which introduced the participants to a fascinating Pauline Letter, generated great anticipation for the sessions that will follow on a monthly basis up until May, in keeping with the themes announced in the Center’s pre-published calendar of events.
