LECTIO: San Marcos Guía de Estudio para el Participante (Study Guide)

¿Estás siguiendo a Jesús ‘por el camino’?

El miedo es tan poderoso que puede paralizarnos, o peor aún, hacernos dar la espalda a los lugares, cosas y personas que son verdaderamente importantes. San Pedro sabía esto muy bien, por eso en el Evangelio de San Marcos entendemos que solo la fe en Jesús nos puede liberar para siempre, tal y como lo hizo con los primeros discípulos.

Acompaña a Luis Soto en esta serie de 10 episodios, totalmente en español, para profundizar en el conocimiento del Evangelio de San Marcos, como nunca antes lo habías hecho. Sumérgete en un recorrido por este Evangelio lleno de acción, que nos ofrece la perspectiva de San Pedro sobre la vida y enseñanzas de Jesús. Profundiza sobre el significado del seguimiento de Jesús, “el camino” y el verdadero discipulado, y descubre cómo Jesús revela su identidad con palabras y acciones llenas de autoridad. Considera las enseñanzas de Jesús en el Templo y acompáñalo de Getsemaní al Calvario siguiendo el Camino de la Cruz. Prepárate para una reflexión profunda del más corto de los cuatro evangelios.

Combinando las enseñanzas de Luis Soto y la belleza fílmica a la que el Augustine Institute nos tiene acostumbrados, esta serie LECTIO, la primera que se realiza totalmente en español, nos guía paso a paso por la profunda tradición eclesial para poder comprender y orar con el Evangelio. ?San Marcos, quien fuera traductor y compañero de San Pedro y San Pablo, nos ofrece su perspectiva de la vida, muerte y resurrección de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, un relato que busca fortalecer a los cristianos perseguidos en Roma, para que siguieran siendo discípulos fuertes y fieles, tal y como estamos llamados a ser nosotros.

En formato interesante y fácil de seguir, este libro incluye:
• Introducciones y oraciones para cada sesión
• Un esquema para que puedas seguir cada sesión en video
• Preguntas para la discusión que te permitirán sacar el mayor provecho al material
• Reflexiones diarias para profundizar en el conocimiento
• Recomendaciones de lecturas adicionales para cada sesión
• Obras de arte bellas para ayudarte en la oración y reflexión
• Espacio extra para tu diario personal
