Gospel according to John

Tonight we finish a 3-day Lenten retreat conducted by Fr. Felix Just, S.J. He is a noted biblical scholar and Director of Biblical Education at the Loyola Institute for Spirituality in Orange, CA. Father has shown us some of the contrasts between the Fourth Gospel and the three Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. He has opened our eyes to the literary features and the theology of John's Gospel and reinforced what my wife and I have learned through our encounters with Centering Prayer groups and with the Benedictine Spirituality we have experienced as Oblates at Prince of Peace Abbey. Fr. Just has a great website at http://catholic-resources.org.
