Specific Discussion Questions
Since Catholic Liturgy includes everyone, everyone is “in” and no one is “out”. How does my behavior at work, at school, and in the neighbourhood reflect this truth?
God and Christ speak during the Liturgy of the Word. The ministerial task of readers and preachers is to surrender to the voice of God. How do I, as hearer of God’s word, surrender Sunday after Sunday?
The members of Christ’s mystical body pray for each other in the Prayer of the Faithful / Universal Prayer because we are connected by the deepest bonds of Christ. How do my attitudes and actions on behalf of the poor, the immigrant, the incarcerated, the mentally ill, and the disenfranchised speak to this belief that the suffering and anxiety of one member impinges upon all other members?
Archbishop Fulton Sheen concluded, after reflecting on the Magi who went back to their own countries by another way after visiting the baby Jesus, “no one comes to Christ and goes back the same way he came!” How has this been true in my life?
The celebration of the Liturgy of the Word and Eucharist (Mass) properly forms the faithful to go out and transform the world. How does my dismissal from Sunday Mass help me to do the works of charity and justice all week long?
