The St. Paul Center is a nonprofit research and educational institute that promotes life-transforming Scripture study from the heart of the Church. The Center serves clergy and laity, students and scholars, with research and study tools.

Our goal is to be a teacher of teachers. We want to raise up a new generation of priests who are fluent in the Bible and lay people who are biblically literate. For us, this means more than helping people to know their way around the Bible. It means equipping them to enter into the heart of the living Word of God.

We read the Bible from the heart of the Church, in light of the Church’s Liturgy and living Tradition. In this way, we hope to help people experience the heart-to-heart encounter that Jesus’ disciples experienced on that first Easter night, when they knew Him in the breaking of the bread: "Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked to us…while He opened to us the Scriptures?" (see Luke 24:13-37)

Our Lord wants us to be people of hope amid widespread despair. We show—with our lives and everyday kindness—that the grace of resurrection is not something far off in the future.

Jesus, by dying and rising again, opened up the path to reunification of body and soul.

Just as His body and soul were joined once more when He was resurrected—as well as transfigured and glorified—so too will all the bodies and souls of the just be reunited on the last day.

We cannot curry favor with God—even with our good deeds or our faithful observances.

If we try to exalt ourselves before the Lord, we will be brought low (see Luke 1:52). We cannot take pride in our own piety and we must guard against slipping into the self-righteousness of thinking that we're "not like the rest of sinful humanity."

If we clothe ourselves with humility (see 1 Peter 5:5-6), if we recognize that all of us are sinners in need of God's mercy, we will be exalted (see Proverbs 29:23).

One of the greatest treasures of Christianity is that we can call God our Father. Only through Jesus Christ have we been adopted and brought into relationship with the Lord.

In Scripture and in our prayer life, we should see God's fatherly love revealed and alive within us.

This Advent, join us for Bible Across America, the nation's biggest Bible study. As we reflect on and study the Scriptures more deeply, rediscover how God is calling you back to Himself in greater ways than before.

Wherever we are or whatever we do in life, Jesus calls us to follow Him. To be a follower of Jesus means to take up our daily cross and die to self, so that we may rise to new life in Him.

In Bible Across America, join family and friends to go deeper in your discipleship with our Lord. This Advent, encounter Christ and share Christ as you engage the Scriptures in our weekly Bible studies.

Live out your calling by joining this nationwide movement.
