By the grace of God, the organizers of Blessed John Paul II Catechetical and Youth Ministry Conference, which is held every year, invited me to be one of the speakers/facilitators of the Mini-Conferences. They gave me the topic: "The Word of God and the Saints" (VD 48-49), on May 17, 2012, 1:30-5:00PM.
Here's the description:
C 06 – THE WORD OF GOD AND THE SAINTS
Fra. Dave dela Cruz, CCS, leads the participants to consider how a balanced
study of the saints includes the presentation of the lives of the
saints in the light of the word of God. “The most profound
interpretation of Scripture comes precisely from those who let
themselves be shaped by the word of God through listening, reading, and
assiduous meditation” (VD 48). With the guidance of the facilitator, the
participants discuss how “holiness in the Church constitutes an
interpretation of Sacred Scripture which cannot be overlooked” (VD 49).
