Welcome to our first week of discussion on our current book The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic by Matthew Kelly. The questions this week are related to the Prologue and Chapter One: Incredible Possibilities.
I'm using most of the questions from the study guide that accompanies the book that I found HERE. I figured instead of transposing the Opening and Closing prayers that we would use if we were meeting in person, that I would let you click over and read it if you were interested. That way I can keep these posts short and sweet.
Like our last book discussion, I'll post a few discussion questions on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays and you can go ahead and just comment with your responses. If those of you reading along would like me to post questions on less days/more days, let me know. I didn't want to bombard everybody with 6-8 questions at once! Feedback is always welcome and appreciated!
Looking forward to becoming more dynamic Catholics with you all! :-)
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1.) Do you know a Dynamic Catholic? What characteristics do you see in them?
2.) How do you sense God is calling you to grow at this time in your life?
1.) I would say that I do know some Dynamic Catholics, many of whom are in our young adult group! They are all passionate about learning and sharing our faith. They are serious about discerning their vocations and living them out to the fullest. They participate in the Sacraments frequently and make time for Adoration. They give of their time generously to not only our Young Adult ministry, but other ministries throughout the parish.
ReplyDelete2.) I really sense that God is calling me to continue learning more about my faith. I am finding that as I learn more, it becomes easier to talk about with others (like my family or my teens in Confirmation). I was definitely not as comfortable improvising when talking especially with my teens at the beginning of the year, but am finding it easier and easier as time goes on (no guarantees they are listening!) Second, I want to grow into my vocation as a wife and mother of two. I want to enjoy every minute of the new baby's time as a baby without worrying, crying, stressing out every moment of the day. I'm hoping that what I have learned over the last year and how I've grown into my faith will help me do just that.
