The Journey: Part 3 — My Encounter with Jesus’ Way of Life
We are excited to continue this opportunity for adult faith development. This season’s Journey is open to all! Several days and times are available.
In Part 3, the six sessions explore how we encounter Jesus’ way of life as disciples.
1. Jesus Teaches Us Love – This session brings us to a dinner thrown by a prominent Pharisee, during which a “sinful” woman intrudes to ask for Jesus’ mercy. Jesus uses the occasion to teach about love. (Sept. 14, 18*). *Please note the date change to Monday, September 18.
2. Jesus Teaches Us Justice – Jesus uses a parable to talk about the rich man and Lazarus; he gives us a very different idea of justice than most people have today. (Sept. 25, 28)
3. Jesus Shows Us Faithfulness – Mary Magdalene meets Jesus after his resurrection. What did her faithfulness allow her to see about him? (Oct. 9, 12)
4. Jesus Calls Us to Ongoing Conversion – A rich young man approaches Jesus to ask what he needs for eternal life. He eventually walks away. What did he have to see about himself to advance further? (Oct. 23, 26)
5. Jesus Sends Us on Mission – Before ascending to heaven, Jesus calls the Apostles to him and gives them the mission of bringing his Gospel to all nations. We have a chance to study Jesus’ trust, even when faced with his disciples’ doubt. (Nov. 6, 9)
6. Jesus Shows Us Discipleship – Cleopas and his companion meet the Risen Jesus on the road to Emmaus. This meeting shows us the heart of discipleship. What can we learn from the interaction? (Nov. 20, 30)
Newcomers are welcome! Even if you didn’t participate in Season 1 or 2, please join us! Anyone who may be interested is welcome to participate, regardless of whether they are active Catholics.
