We are all leaders in some way. In this course you will learn The Jesus way of leading others, whether your family, an organization, or even a business.

How can God become a human person. Why was that necessary? How did Jesus act as a God and how as a human? Is the “Feast of the Incarnation” on December 25 or already on March 25? Why is the Incarnation (Jesus becoming human) so important, and how does it affect you? This course will help us gain a deeper understanding of why Jesus, the divine Son of God, came to earth and lived a fully human life, so we might share in his divine life.

How can the Eucharist make a difference after Mass is over? What practical changes can the Eucharist make in your life? The Greek word “Eucharist” literally means “Thanksgiving,” but also refers to the Mass, as well as the consecrated bread and wine that we receive in communion and worship in adoration. To become more fully “Eucharistic” as individuals and as a community, we need not only to recognize the “real presence” of Christ in the consecrated host, but also to live lives of thanksgiving and solidarity in community.

Find the desert to find God. In the bible, the theme of the desert appears often, not only as a physical place, but as a symbol of a spiritual nature. It is an arid and inhospitable place. There is nothing, not even the most basic thing living there. The desert is a lonely and silent space, yet the place where God personally invites you …to purify you …and especially transform you.

En la literatura bíblica aparece muy a menudo el tema del desierto, no solo como un lugar físico, sino también como un simbolismo de carácter espiritual. Se trata de un lugar árido e inhóspito. No hay nada, ni lo más elemental. El desierto es un espacio solitario y silencioso. Es el lugar donde Dios nos invita para seducirnos, purificarnos y especialmente para transformarnos.
