The Gospel readings for this coming liturgical year will be taken from the Gospel of Mark, with its blunt and powerful portrayal of Jesus and the meaning of discipleship lived in the shadow of the cross. The two sessions of this ACP program will consider first Mark’s vivid portrait of Jesus and his mission and then the Gospel’s unique view of the disciples and the cost of following a crucified Christ. The presentations will keep in mind the significance of Mark’s theology for preaching, prayer, and liturgy.

10:00 a.m.: Prayer
10:15 a.m.: Morning Session
12:00—12:45 p.m.: Lunch
