June Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

June Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

God expresses His divine will in the ancient law of the Old Testament. Then, God enters human history directly through the person of Jesus, who is the Son of God and one with God in a unique way. In turn, Jesus gives us an enduring way to encounter his presence in what the church now calls the sacraments.

In common things —water, oil, bread, wine, words, touch, a ring, a promise — we meet the holy presence of God. Oh, the beauty of our Catholic faith.
