29th Apr Cl X Catechism

Good morning!😊 Have you noticed, this April has been very pleasant! Thank God that at the end of April we are largely having very moderate temperatures 😄

 Reminder - if you haven't done so already - please enter your name in the "Comment" space - kindly do this each time you log into the blog post for the class - Thank you 🙏.
Once again, a reminder that when you are on social media (and this interaction is the use of social media for education), we are reminded that this is a public space and that we are called on to be our best selves - so kindly communicate appropriately at all times - in doing so you are respecting yourself and all of us. Thank you!

I thank those who have spent a moment to jot down a bit more than the very welcome "Good Morning Brother" - thank you for that - but can I have a very brief communication - some comment or interaction on some of the work we're doing? I'll really appreciate that! Thanks, in advance!

By the way, do you get to see my reply to you "Good Morning"?
REVIEW
We are doing 3 different things during our Catechism classes these days :
  • growing in the ability and willingness to listen to ourselves and............. to others
  • considering our behaviours....more conscious living
  • making the Resurrection experience meaningful in our lives
While it may seem that these are 3 different movements - really - they are are all about us living meaningfully!

So, let's get going!
  • You'll need your earphones !
STEP 1
Over the last year or so, your teachers have been practicing Heartfulness with you - this practice is widely seen as probably the most important practice for life. It is also called "Mindfulness", "Awareness". "Meditation".
  • what are we doing ? taking time to listen to ourselves!
    • surprise - we don't find this easy!
    • we prefer to do things ! (rather than be with myself !!!!!)
    • we find it hard to be with ourselves !!!!!!!
    • But the one person we better get to learn to live with well - is ourselves - we can't run - and we shouldn't try - to run away from ourselves!
    • so I'm going to invite you to click on this link - and follow the directions   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G42Z7-vZvw
  • this is listening to our bodies - this is the beginning!
  • please try and make this a daily practice
STEP 2
Today, we're going to see a video of the appearance of Jesus to the disciples who were walking to Emmaus. You can read it in the Gospel of St Luke Ch 24 vs 13 onwards - you are encouraged to read it and also to click on this video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07GCSW1CQUg

What do you see and hear?
  • 2 persons who knew Jesus
    • confused as to why he had to die
    • Jesus'such a promising person
    • Jesus died such a terrible death!
  • What experience in your life - now - is confusing or upsetting you?
    • could it be the limiting experience of the lockdown
    • could it be some frustration about having to do your study?
    • could it be the upset of not being able to be with some friend / friends?
    • could it confusion about your growing up?
    • ......... there are many life experiences
  • let the feelings about this experience come to you - try and not let those feelings overpower you
  • request Jesus to be with you as you feel the disturbance of these experiences
  • try and keep ideas away - just allow yourself to feel your feelings
  • ask Jesus to help you show you the way.........
What did Jesus teach the disciples?
  • Jesus taught them to
    • go to the scriptures (the Bible) 
    • he showed them that the scripture will be a light for our lives
  • Do you want to feel your heart burning - with the experience of God with you? 
    • invite him to join you (like we did with the Heartfulness and awareness)
    • read the scriptures - like we did in step 2 and let Jesus (Jesus is called the "Word") show you what's good for your life!
  • immediately or slowly if you do this - you will experience the risen Jesus.
We'll be practicing to do this during our catechism lessons.

I meet you next on the 2nd May - so could you - on the 30th & 1st spend a bit of time
  • doing a heartfulness meditation (use the link, if you need the help)
  • spend some time being aware of how you are - not only disturbing things - sometimes you will surely feel full of enthusiasm because of something nice
  • invite Jesus to be with you
  • read the given passage
  • take some time to let Jesus - the "Word of God" speak to you.
Reflection readings
  • 30th Apr : Acts of the Apostles Ch 8 vs 26 - 40
  • 1st Apr : Acts of the Apostles Ch 9 vs 1 - 20
Bye, See you on the 2nd May 😊
