Event: Lent Reflection on The Interior Castle by St. Teresa of Avila
Join Msgr. J. Brian Bransfield as he discusses The Interior Castle, written by St. Teresa of Avila. The Interior Castle is a powerful image of the mystery of the human person. Using the image of a castle, St. Teresa describes the soul’s progressive inner journey through seven dwelling places, until finally reaching the center where, now transformed, it is united with God.

Wednesdays, March 12 & 19, 2025 @ 7:30pm
Event: “Fides et Scientia” – Lenten Series: “The Suffering Servant Songs of Isaiah”
Location: St. Andrew the Apostle Church, 3500 School Lane, Drexel Hill, PA 19026 – 610-259-1169
Speaker: Dr. Kelly Anderson, Associate Professor and Chair of the Dept. of Sacred Scripture for the Major Seminary at Saint Charles Borromeo. Dr. Anderson presents her exegesis on these four haunting psalms in the Old Testament which describe the call, mission, death and ultimate victory of a mysterious servant of God. Christians believe these texts prefigure the mission of Jesus Christ, and they are used extensively in the Lenten liturgies. These two talks will examine the four psalms, show how they disclose the heart of Jesus Christ, and how they are used in the liturgy. We will also have confession available at 6:30pm and Stations of the Cross at 7pm. All are welcome!
