Has it always been easy to be a Christian in the world today? Why or why not?

Grace

Read: John 15:18-21

“If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. Remember the word I spoke to you, ‘No slave is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.”

For discussion, answer the following questions:

  1. What is the most recent challenge that I encountered in striving to be like Christ in word and deed?

  2. How can we help and support each other as husband and wife as we embrace the call of being modern-day prophets of Christ in the world today?

Research about the life of one martyr of the Catholic Church. Share it to your spouse and children and allow the life of that martyr to inspire your family in living lives centered on Christ alone.
