Session Two - Learning to be a missionary disciple - sitting at the feet of Jesus

The second leaflet to accompany the series for small group discussion.

The suggested theme within this leaflet allows us to understand what it means to be a "Missionary Disciple" and that we learn this by "Sitting at the feet of Jesus" because "we have chosen the better part".

As with all the sessions, they can be used to allow our group to explore some of the themes and issues that will be raised throughout the Proclaim ’15 initiative.

They are written in such a way that they are faithful to themes found within Pope Francis’ Apostolic Exhortation Evangelii Gaudium (EG).

The sessions are offered in an easy-to-follow (and printable) format that we can adapt for our own parish, with key content emphases the building of missionary parishes and formation of confident local evangelisers - namely, you & me :)

The sessions are themed:

• Session One: Meeting Jesus – the only one who can save me

• Session Two: Learning to be a missionary disciple -sitting at the feet of Jesus

• Session Three: Jesus is alive -go and tell my brothers

Each resource begins with a story that is mirrored in a passage of Scripture. A reflection and some questions arising out of both of these, lead to the words of Pope Francis and some further discussion time. The sessions conclude with prayer and suggestions for action.
