- Isaiah 53: 10-11
- Psalms 33: 4-5, 18-19, 20, 22
- Hebrews 4: 14-16
- Mark 10: 35-45
- Greatness is in what you give away
- There was a horrible bumper sticker that enjoyed some popularity. It read "He who dies with the most toys wins."
- What do you think Jesus would have to say to that?
- If that sentiment is not true, write a bumper-sticker worthy statement of your own that is true.
- Is your bumper-sticker worth copyrighting?
- Why or why not?
- No regrets
- Archbishop Oscar Romero was canonized today, in part for his courage to the point of martyrdom.
- Do you think that true faith is always going to have its costs?
- How do you tell when calamities in your life are a result of you following your faith, or other, less noble reasons?
- How is God kind to us through all of that?
- Finding grace
- How would you define grace?
- How have you been graced in your life?
- How do we go about receiving grace in our lives?
- What can we do to be more open to that grace?
- I remember him when ...
- It's a common scenario. Someone you never expected makes it big and all that you can do is to tell your friends "I remember him when he was just a punk ..." hoping that your familiarity with the new celebrity will somehow rub off on you.
- How would you define or characterize the humility of Jesus?
- Do you think that Jesus had it easier than we do, or harder, to be that humble?
- What sort of humility do you think that we are called to?
- What can we learn from Jesus' humility?
- Preparation for Reconciliation:
- What do I truly desire? What am I willing to give up for that?
- Are there times and places in my life where I have tried to avoid the cost of my faith?
- What graces do I most want in my life?
- Where am I trying to grab the attention or credit? Is that of God?
Shalom!
