Our Lady Of Good Counsel

ENTER INTO A DEEPER LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND NEIGHBOR THROUGH BIBLE STUDY

We are created in the image and likeness of God. The ultimate purpose for our existence is to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him. In this purpose-driven life, we, as believers and followers of Christ, need to know who God is, and from that knowledge, we are to love God and to serve Him with our lives.

Our Lady of Good Counsel is a very vibrant parish with deeply committed believers who practice their faith with great pride and love. Our parishioners are involved in many ministries, which they take a certain pride in. They feel called to serve the Lord and believe that in serving the church, through the pastor, they are blessed by God. In all of this, there is one ministry we need to enter into so that we can learn who we are and deepen our faith. As important as it is, we should not limit our faith formation to only celebrating the Sunday Eucharist but rather listening to God’s call to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in a deeper encounter with the Word (Bible).

We are starting the ministry of Adult Bible study in our Parish. The main purpose is to invite everyone to take this opportunity to learn more about our faith and to be deeply rooted in it. Jesus came to this world to reveal the Father’s love for us. Jesus, the Word of God, became flesh and dwelt among us so that we may know the Father through Him and love God with our whole heart, soul, body, and divinity. This ministry is an invitation and opportunity for us to know the Word incarnate, which is Jesus, who is our Lord and Savior. Through this Adult Bible Study, we enter into a deeper love relationship with God and neighbor. I am very positive and confident that our parishioners, both young and retired, will take this opportunity to enroll in this Bible Study ministry and passionately commit themselves to know the Lord, love the Lord, and serve the Lord.

I congratulate the team leaders and members for taking a very special interest in this program. They believe in their call to serve the Lord through this specific and very important ministry. May our Lady of Good Counsel intercede for us. May God bless all of you.
