Breaking Open the Word
Modeled after small Christian communities in Central America.
On Thursdays at the CAC, we gather to reflect and share on what the Gospel means in our real lives.
The Gospel is read three times, each time preceded by a question.
Reflect and feel free to share after each reading.
The wisdom is in both the sharing and the listening.
Question 1:
What word or phrase particularly speaks to you?
Feel free to contribute even if your word or phrase has already been spoken.
Question 2:
What in today's world does this passage of Scripture address?
Question 3:
To what does this passage call me? To what does it call the groups to which I belong?
After the three readings the Sit Leader will close with a prayer and you may remain or leave in silence.
A few notes for the Leader:
- The questions come before each reading.
- If the Scripture passage is rather lengthy, feel free to choose a shorter pericope (piece).
- Try not to convey your meaning or interpretation of the passage as you read the passage.
- Closing prayer should be done in about 3–4 sentences.
