Our weekly study is based on the scriptures prescribed for the coming Sunday mass. We use the "Celebrating the Word" model that allows people to make connections between their life stories and the Gospel Story, and in the process, experience the presence and power of God's own Spirit.
Celebrating the Word is a process model for faith sharing groups that is designed to replicate the Emmaus encounter*. Most of us can identify with the plight of those two disciples. We know their experience. We have been there. And we need a place and a process that will allow us, as a faith community on a regular basis, to make connections between our life stories and the Gospel Story. As with those two disciples, we are assured that when we come together in faith and trust to make connections between our life stories and the Gospel Story, we too will come to experience the presence and power of God's own Spirit: "Were not our hearts burning within us when He opened the scriptures to us."
