“Lectio: The Case for Jesus,” a video study program from the Augustine Institute presented by Brant Pitre, Ph.D. Do you follow Jesus ‘on the way?’ Can we trust the Gospels? Do we really know who wrote them? Do the Gospels communicate truth, or fabricated fables? Who is Jesus? Join Dr. Pitre as he draws evidence from both early Christian and non-Christian writings attesting to the authenticity, authorship, and dating of the Gospels, as he gives an in-depth look at the Gospel accounts of Jesus’s Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the proclamation of Christ’s divinity. Strengthen your faith so that you can not only stand firm and profess that Jesus truly is “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” but also confidently respond to any skeptics you encounter. Watch the trailer on Formed: app.formed.org/app/videos/1343209. We will meet 7—8:30a.m. in Cottage 1 next to the playground on the nine Saturday mornings of: May 30, June 6, June 20,

Major Relics of 17th-Century Saint to Visit Baltimore Basilica

The major relics of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque will visit the Basilica of the Assumption on July 5 and 6, inviting the faithful to pray for the United States and entrust the country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Archbishop William E. Lori will celebrate Mass at 10:30 a.m. July 5 at the Baltimore Basilica, followed by public veneration of the sacred relics and events to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary. All are invited to tour America’s first cathedral and join an outdoor celebration.
Veneration will continue July 5 until 7 p.m. and resume July 6 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A 17th-century French Visitation sister, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque inspired worldwide devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus after she received visions of Christ between 1673 and 1675. She was canonized in 1920 and is known as the Apostle of the Sacred Heart.
Her sacred relics are traveling across the United States as part of a pilgrimage sponsored by the Knights of Columbus to mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Recently, the American bishops of the Catholic Church gathered to consecrate the country to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a profound spiritual act designed to place the United States under the loving protection of Christ. The relics were present at the bishops’ Mass on June 11 in Orlando, Fla.
Housed in 150-pound reliquary, the relics permanently reside in the Chapel of the Apparitions at St. Margaret Mary’s French convent, Monastery of the Visitation.
To explore the remarkable history and enduring significance of the Baltimore Basilica, America’s first cathedral, viewers are invited to watch a brief video highlighting its story and national legacy.
