- Corruption
- What do you think is the most attractive aspect about our parish community, your family, your own life?
- Would you say that's because of Jesus?
- Is that attractive aspect enough to make others try to follow Jesus so that they can experience that grace themselves?
- Want vs. want vs. need
- Like most of the English language, the word want has evolved to mean merely a desire, no matter how ill-founded or petty. It used to mean a poverty.
- Is want all relative?
- How would you define enough in your life?
- What would it take to make you feel secure?
- What are the odds that Jesus feels the same way that you do about security?
- Deep humility
- The Jesuits distinguish three types of humility. The deepest seeks to set aside anything that is not bringing them closer to Jesus, no matter what the cost. There is a certain passion that carries this sort of humility, few live this way.
- The hard part is to suffer for Christ, rather than make a martyr of ourselves. Have you ever seen someone with a martyr complex?
- What is the difference between such a person and a "real martyr"?
- How can we best keep our suffering real?
- Hearing God's voice
- When are some times that God's voice in your life changed your perspective, your actions?
- How did you figure out that it was God?
- What makes it hard for us to hear that voice?
- What can we do to become more attuned to that voice?
- What about my life this past week would draw others to Jesus?
- Am I willing/able to trust Christ for all of my wants?
- Does my love for Jesus run deep enough to compel me to walk with Him, no matter the cost?
- Where is God calling me today?
Shalom!
