2022-2023 Book Studies
Jesus the Bridegroom: The Greatest Love Story Ever Told
Dates of Study: February 15, 2023 - April 5, 2023
Time: Meeting begins at 10 AM with social. Book study begins at 10:30 AM ending at noon.
Location: Saint Mary Magdalene Church Conference room and/or Zoom.
In Jesus the Bridegroom, Brant Pitre once again taps into the wells of Jewish Scripture and tradition and unlocks the secrets of what is arguably the most well-known symbol of the Christian faith: the cross of Christ. In this thrilling exploration, Pitre shows how the suffering and death of Jesus was far more than a tragic Roman execution. Instead, the Passion of Christ was the fulfillment of ancient Jewish prophecies of a wedding when the God of the universe would wed himself to humankind in an everlasting nuptial covenant. As Pitre shows, the key to unlocking this mystery can be found by going back to Jewish Scripture and tradition and seeing the entire history of salvation, from Mount Sinai to Mount Calvary, as a divine love story between Creator and creature, between God and Israel, between Christ and his bride—a story that comes to its climax on the wood of a Roman cross. Book is available through Amazon or your local Catholic Bookstore. Click here to download the reading assignment.

Again and again in this book, St. Therese shows us how her "Little Way" of love and trust comes straight from Sacred Scripture. Required book is available through Amazon.
