On September 8, 2008 the Fatima Shrine Bible Study was led by Maura Nolan due to the absence of Reverend Peter M. Calabrese, CRSP. Maura opened our discussion with fitting opening prayer asking for both guidance and wisdom also invoking the intercession of Our Lady on this the feast of Her birth as we continued our study of St. Paul's letter to the Galatians.
Maura discussed the various proofs of St. Paul given to us in his letter to the Galatians as discussed in Chapter 4.
Proof 4 Christians as the children of God.
Proof 5 The Galatians in their relationship to Saint Paul
Proof 6 Allegory of Sarah & Hagar
Maura reminded us that we are all children of Christ through our Baptism and that we are all heirs of the kingdom of God as mentioned in the beginning of Chapter 4 of the Book of Galatians.
Because of the Law the Jewish people did not have a voice. The Jews seemed to be caught up in the pettiness of following the Judaic rules rather than being spiritual people.
Maura reminded us that the Jews were never really subjects to the Laws of Moses.
In Verse 12 of Chapter 4 of Galatians, St. Paul speaks to us of his freedom from spiritual enslavement. In Verse 13, Paul makes reference to a physical illness had had.
We were not able to discuss Proof 6 in the meeting.
