The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters 5 to 7) is The Great Charter of Christianity. Jesus hoped that all of it would be put into practice by his followers and that it would become their yardstick, i.e. the way the health of one’s Christian life is measured. Therefore, at least once in a lifetime, the study of this great teaching of Jesus cannot be avoided. This Course intends to give a refreshing, practical and in-depth view on the Sermon, reading the Message of the Lord in the unity of the entire Gospel of St Matthew.
Structure of the 3 days
The Course will follow the structure of the Sermon:
1st Day: Introduction: Understanding the meaning of the Sermon according to St. Matthew, First part of Chapter 5, Second part of Chapter five: the Son.
2nd Day: Chapter 6: the Father. Praying.
3rd Day: Chapter 7: the Holy Spirit. Conclusion
