Father Barron highlights the Beatitudes, the path of non-violence and lessons of forgiveness, care for the poor, and our relationship with God as presented in the parables. Jesus teachings are illuminated during Father Barron’s pilgrimages to Poland, Germany, Spain, and New York City. Commentaries at these sites also show how the Catholic Church is a living culture, which gives witness to the inviolable dignity of the human person.

Opening PrayerSt. Francis of Assisi:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness light; where there is sadness joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. Resource Components for Week 2
