Summer retreat with Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI – “Becoming the Beloved Disciple”
July 12, 2022 - July 14, 2022
Discipleship in John’s Gospel: Becoming the Beloved Disciple – Summer retreat with Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI, will be held from Tuesday July 12, 9:00 a.m. to Thursday July 14, 12:00 p.m. on Zoom and limited in-person attendance.
The Gospel of John is a very unique Gospel. It was written relatively late (somewhere between 90 and 100 AD) and for a long time was not accepted by most of the other early Christian communities because it has no rules except one – love. John defines Christian discipleship in one word – love. One of the central figures in this Gospel is “the beloved disciple,” the person who leans his head on Jesus’ breast at the Last Supper. We naively think this was John himself, but John wants this person to be you! Each of us is invited to be “the beloved disciple.” This is a very mystical Gospel wherein virtually every passage has two or three levels of meaning. These sessions will try to unravel those layers of meaning so as to give us a deeper understanding of own lives, Jesus’ life, and what discipleship asks of us.
