The three talks Dr. Hahn will give are the following:
The Fourth Cup: Looking at the close connection between the Passover and the Eucharist. What did Jesus refer to when he said, “It is finished”?
Letter & Spirit: Dr. Hahn gives thoughtful exploration through the complex relationship between the Bible and the Catholic liturgy. He offers insights into what the Bible teaches us about living the spiritual life and describes how the liturgy brings about the “actualization” of the saving truths of Scripture.
The Bible, The Eucharist, and the New Evangelization
What is the New Evangelization and why is it the greatest priority of the Church at this time? Why did Bl. John Paul II teach that Catholic evangelization must be based on the Eucharist? What difference does the Eucharist make when it comes to explaining Jesus' death and resurrection? How do we as Catholics understand the need for - and the process of - conversion? This talk also looks at how we can share our faith with family members, friends and co-workers. As Pope Benedict reminds us, there is even a need for "evangelizing the baptized".
