To the Members of the Fatima Shrine Bible Study:
Here is a nice prayer that I would like to share with all of you.
Lord, Jesus Christ,
with all the strength of our souls
we turn to you to find the joy that
only You can give.
Live in our hearts that we may know
the sweetness of Your love. Amen

Our study of Saint Paul's letter to the Galatians continued under the direction of Father Peter M. Calabrese, CRSP. Father Peter noted that there are two sections toward the end of Chapter 5 that are of an introductory significance. Verses 19-21 are a list of Vices. Verses 22-23 are a list of Virtues.
St. Paul takes his meaning from the philosophy of his time. St. Paul is doing this in light of the kingdom of God and not simply from a neutral perspective. Paul is doing it to prepare Christians for the kingdom of God.
Father Peter informed us of the Synod of Bishops which is currently taking place in Rome. The focus of this particular synod is Sacred Scripture Father Peter also told us that this entire Bible is being continuously read in one of the churches of Rome by 200 lectors.
St. Paul encourages us to do all we do in the spirit. St. Paul is opposed to the desires of the flesh. Fr. Peter reminded us that the late Pope John Paul II said that to be fully Christian is to be fully human.
St. Paul chooses not to appeal to the law. Christianity is not merely an ideology. The Church respects the theology of St. Paul.
Jesus' preaching was to prepare us for salvation for for our walk with the Holy Spirit.
St. Paul preached to the gentile community that accepted the immorality of society. St. Paul was concerned with the role of the law.
Father Peter reminded us that faith works through Christ in love.
