FAITH SHARING GROUP
Our parish Faith Enrichment program brings a small group of folks together once a week to delve into the messages contained in the previous Sunday Readings. We read some commentaries about the readings in the Catholic press, and share what the readings have meant to us, what we derived from them, and what aspects of them might not have come across with total clarity. I’ve come to realize that merely hearing the readings once at Mass does not usually fully bring out for me all that is contained in or is suggested by them. Re-reading them within our group and sharing our reactions to them actually puts them into the context of our everyday lives, as the people at the meetings in an outspoken manner relate to such concerns as marriage, parenting, today’s financial struggles and the like. It is always delightful to catch a glimpse of the many and varied ways the different people see a single issue.
