Utilizing scriptural reflections, guided prayer techniques, and catechetical references, Karen will help participants understand, enter into, and joyfully anticipate the victorious and hope-filled PAROUSIA or three comings of Christ at the:
- Incarnation and birth,
- Celebration of the Mass,
- Second coming at one’s particular death or end of times.
Like the prophets of old, attendees, filled with hope, gratitude, and joy, will cry out:
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.” (Isaiah 9:6-7)
