EXPLORING THE BIBLICAL SPIRITUALITY OF THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL
With Thomas P. Bonacci, C.P. 

SS. PETER AND PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH
4450 Granite Drive
Rocklin, CA  95677
(916) 624-5827 

Contrary to the powers of the day, the works and deeds of justice and charity are not optional or voluntary.  Rather, such responses to those who are poor are demanded by the very nature of the Gospel and its proclamation.  Inspired by the work and wisdom of Pope Francis, we will explore a few aspects of his Apostolic Exhortation, “The Joy of the Gospel” emphasizing the Biblical aspects by which the poor are favored.
