¿Quién es tan enemigo de Roma como para no defender el altar de la diosa Victoria? Verano de 384. El Imperio Romano está dividido. Teodosio gobierna oriente desde Constantinopla. El pequeño Valentiniano II reside en Milán y, asistido por su madre Justina y vigilado por el obispo Ambrosio, administra los territorios centrales. Mientras, el usurpador Máximo, cuyos dominios se extienden por occidente, tiene su sede en Tréveris. Los hunos amenazan las fronteras de l Imperio. La nación goda, tras varias revueltas, se somete a los tratados para establecerse como aliada en las provincias de Mesia y Tracia. El cristianismo goza del respaldo de los emperadores, pero entre sus seguidores existen importantes desavenencias y conflictos. En Roma, un grupo de senadores, encabezados por el prefecto Simmaco, urde un plan para conseguir que el joven Valentiniano devuelva las ayudas económicas a los cultos paganos y restituya la estatua de la diosa Victoria al lugar donde siempre estuvo, el edificio de la Curia. Mientras tanto, en un lugar de Italia, unos monjes destruyen un santuario dedicado a la diosa Diana.

"John 1-10: I Am the Bread of Life "is an excellent way to introduce young adults to the book of John and the life-changing message of Jesus in this Gospel. As John sees it, we human beings need God. We need God's light in our lives, his power to energize us. But for the most part we are not very aware of this need because we spend our lives running around looking for one thing after another, preoccupied with meeting our material and social needs. We tend to see God as the provider of earthly blessings rather than the source of something much more important. And of course, we also tend to ignore God and instead work to satisfy our own desires. John tells us how God tries to break through the barrier of our earthly thinking by entering into our world personally. Designed as a guided discovery, Six Weeks with the Bible for Catholic Teens introduces high school students to different books of the Bible by integrating the biblical text with insightful questions to help youth discern what Scripture means for their lives today. The series provides students with a clear explanation of Biblical text, opportunities for prayer, and a means to enter into conversation with God.
