SEE, DISCERN, AND GO FORTH:
HOW TO USE THE REFLECTION GUIDES
PREPARE
Create your own sacred space. Light a candle and use symbols. Begin by taking time in silence to enter into the presence of God’s love. Throughout his life, Jesus balanced prayer with action.
1. SEE: WITH STORIES
Reflect on your own personal stories to appreciate how God is present in your lives. Then read together/listen to the stories of others and see how the Spirit is at work in the world.
2. DISCERN WITH OUR FAITH
Read the Gospel together. If you have time, read it twice with a pause in between for everyone to share one word or phrase that spoke to you. Read the Reflection, pause and contemplate on the personal meaning of the Gospel to you. Do some faith sharing by using the guide questions.
3. GO FORTH AND DO JUSTICE
Go deeper and discern how God invites you and your community to go forth as missionary disciples to do justice locally and globally. Each week there is a suggestion on how to deepen your celebration of the Easter JOY so that you can go forth and do justice.
CLOSING PRAYER
Conclude with sharing your intentions, an Our Father, Glory Be, and the closing prayer.
