Soup and the Spirit
A Lenten Journey with the 23^rd Psalm

 
Join us each Thursday this Lent following the 11:30 Mass for a delicious lunch of home-made soup lovingly prepared by our own parishioners and experience the Twenty Third psalm as a journey of the human soul.  Fr. Larry will be offering a reflection each week as he shares the treasures mined from the depths of this psalm from twenty centuries ago applying them to our daily life and discipleship.
 
The Twenty-Third psalm is arguably the most popular of all religious texts. It is the most requested Scripture for funerals and has been referred to as a masterpiece of Biblical Judaism.  That it is so popular in Christianity is attributed to the image of Jesus portrayed as the Good Shepherd.  The most memorized of all Scripture, this psalm is a gold mine of comfort, hope and peace.  The images of pastures, still waters, dark valleys and needs both understood and met has given it universal appeal, and the use of the personal
pronoun “my” propels this psalm from the page directly to the heart of the reader.
 
Each Soup and the Spirit gathering requires the help of about seven volunteers for cooking, setting tables, serving and cleaning up. Please use this Volunteer Link to find a small job that suits your schedule, or paste into your browser: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/409094CAEA72FABF85-soup
