Pastoral Letter: 'Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?'Nivel de curso: Básico
Descripción del curso
The seminar takes a deeper look at the Pastoral Letter issued by Bishop Paul Hinder, Apostolic Vicar of Southern Arabia, titled: “Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?” (Mark 4:40). Bishop Paul points out that there are times in our life when we "are terrified, afraid and in great distress," and in these moments there is often a manifestation of God's power. He assures the reader that in these times we need to draw courage from the Lord.
The pastoral letter, while focusing of teachings of the Church, serve to guide a migrant faith community, many of whom are away from their families for long periods of time.
