3/3/06 The selection of Stephen

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Here is the information for this week's Bible study: Acts: 6:1, William will lead

In this week's Bible study, we will see the account of the first documented Myrterdom in the Church's history.

Let Saint Stephen's eloquent recount of how God's chosen people have rejected God throughout the history of God's salvation, ending with the strong statement to the Jewish high priests and council: "How stubborn you are!, How heathen your hearts, how deaf you are to God's message!", be an invitation to us, as we begin the Lenten season - to not harden our hearts if we hear God's call today. But respond with a completely renewed heart from within. A new wineskin - the only leak proof way of accepting the new wine promised to us from the beginning of time.

God Bless,
Maria
