FR JOHN'S JOTTINGS
“PROPHETIC TIMES FOR A PROPHETIC PEOPLE" commences Wednesday, October 10th,
from 7:00 to 8:15 pm (plus or minus a few minutes) at the Parish Church Hall located in
Northwood, NH. Highly interactive - we will be examining what the Second Vatican Council
termed the “Signs of the Times.” The pope, during most of the Second Vatican Council, Paul
VI, had this to say: “Our life, today, is very busy with the continual vision of the outside world. The
media of communication have grown so much, and are so aggressive, that they keep us busy,
distract us, take us out of ourselves, empty us of our personal conscience. This is where we must be careful. We can pass from the position of mere observers to that of critics, thinkers, judges. This attitude of reflective knowledge is of the greatest importance for the modern soul, if it wishes to remain a living soul, and not just a screen for the thousand impressions to which it is subject. And for us Christians this act of reflection is necessary, if we wish to discover "the signs of the times"; . . .”
In this “reflection series” we will examine the Catholic understanding / position of prophecy and eschatology (Prophecy / Eschatology 101). What things change and what things do not
change. The Catholics’ role in our and every age. What the Church and it’s hierarchy teaches,
what certain approved apparitions reveal, what the saints tell us, and just as importantly - some
of the current and historical errors that have made their influence and presence known. The
Bible (Sacred Scripture) and the Catechism of the Catholic Church will be two sources heavily
drawn upon, as well as others, of course. It will be a learning experience for all of us - including
myself. Admission is free . . . Can’t beat that!!
I am asking, however, that for those who do decide to go, to bring a little snack that we can all partake from if we so choose - cookies, brownies, fruit, . . . Etc. Whatever is left - please take back home or leave for the community kitchen to use. Coffee and Tea will be provided. -
