Lesson 4: Death to Life, Ephesians 2:1-10

We are just a few days away from the Solemnity of All Saints and The Commemoration of the Faithful Departed (All Souls) and just a few weeks away from the close of the liturgical year, so it's a good time to think about the Last Things--death, judgment, heaven, and hell. 

Our Bible study lesson and Catechism chapter for this week fit in well with this theme.  In each, we are given cause to imagine a life with Christ and a life without.

I have tweaked the settings for uploading this document in an attempt to avoid the problems some of you have been having with printing.  Let me know if it helps.  Don't forget, it's important to send the document to your printer from the Google docs window and not from the command on your browser in order to keep the formatting the same.

One last thing...just below this post is one that I added after giving some extra thought to the discussion that we had at our last meeting.  (See "Lesson Three Extra") I think it might help clarify the point that I was trying to make about separating our emotions from our judgments about what is right or wrong, moral or immoral, and good or evil.  We can make these distinctions about sin without losing charity for the sinner.  I would encourage you to scroll down and read this earlier entry and, if time allows, to follow the links that I have provided. 

See you on November 3.
