The (Scandalous) Mission of the Messiah in the Gospel of Luke

12/1/2019

Wednesday, January 22
7:00 - 8:30 pm
Serra Center
Fr. Slawomir Szkredka

It is commonly known that, in the Gospel of Luke, Jesus the Messiah appears above all as a compassionate and gentle savior who socializes with tax collectors and sinners, dines with the Pharisees, and proposes parables that highlight mercy and compassion. In his presentation, Fr. Slawomir show that this image of Jesus is not just very comforting but also deeply scandalous and disturbing. It is not just Jesus’ opponents that fail to understand him. In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus’s ministry poses a challenge to everyone around, including John the Baptist, Jesus’ disciples and even his Mother, Mary.

Ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles in 2002, Fr. Slawomir Szkredka, S.S.D., a native of Poland, served as Associate Pastor at Saint Genevieve Parish in Panorama City (2002-2006) and at John the Baptist Parish in Baldwin Park (2006-2008). From 2008 to 2015 he resided in Rome pursuing biblical studies at the Pontifical Biblical Institute. He is now assistant Professor of Biblical Studies at St. John's Seminary.

Doors opens at 6:30 for refreshments. No cost. RSVP appreciated.

Sponsored by the Adult Faith Formation Team.

Community Advent Reconciliation Service

Padre Serra Parish
Stay after for refreshments in the courtyard

♪ Let every heart prepare him room ♪
Advent is a time of preparation for the coming of Jesus...at Christmas, at the end of time, and into our hearts each and every day. Although not a season of penance, reconciliation finds a special place in Advent, as we seek to approach Jesus' coming with hearts free of sin and filled of praise.

Participate in the Parish Advent Reconciliation Service, an opportunity to examine our lives, go to confession, and open ourselves to God's boundless mercy. Then celebrate afterward with refreshments in the courtyard!
