Lesson Four: Worthy Conduct

Be prepared!  I know that's Advent talk, but it's good advice for our next Bible study lesson as well.  I'm going to shake things up and do things a little differently next week.

You know how we sometimes spend so much time on our scripture study that we neglect the catechism lesson.  Well, this time we're going to start with the catechism lesson.  If we're efficient, we should get to the other as well.  Of course, you know how that goes.

I have good reasons for doing this.  We talk about being good and moral, but do we know how to determine what that means?  Do we understand how we discern that?  Do we understand how we explain Catholic morality to others?

By the way, so sorry I'm late with the study guide.  Time and energy were an issue.  (Blah, blah, blah, you're thinking.)  It also took me a while to do some reading and research to be able to prepare our lesson.  I'll be better next time.

Study Guide Lesson Four

See you December 6th.  Don't forget to leave time to go out to lunch afterwards!
If you can't make it next week, see you in 2013!

Lesson Three Update

Since this year's Letter is a short one, we have been able to spend more time discussing our catechism chapter.  I'm glad.  I sometimes felt that we neglected it in the past.

Yesterday's discussion about sacramentals and devotions was interesting.  I think it's good to think about the way that we pray and worship so that we aren't simply operating in that "pious coma."

I do have a few notes, and you're more than welcome to use them if you'd like.

Lesson Three Notes

Our next meeting won't be until December 6.  I may try and get the study guide up early.  I'm afraid if I let it wait too long that day will slip up on me.  Don't forget to save some time afterwards for our traditional lunch!
