Summer Send-Off

Thank you to everyone for your involvement this year. We're having a summer send-off next Wednesday (5/21) at 7 at the church (hopefully outside at the pavilion). After that I'll be back at Notre Dame for the summer, but I'll be back in the fall. Let me know if you want to organize something over the summer or if you have any other ideas. God bless.

TOB Ch. 7

Everything we've talked about up to this point will come into sharper focus as we discuss what it means for our lives and for marriage. I think we'll have plenty to discuss w/o any prompts. See you tonight.

TOB Ch's 5 and 6

Here are some key questions for these chapters. We'll spend the majority of the time on Ch. 6, but Ch. 5 has some important things as well.

Ch. 5
-How do marriage and celibacy complement each other?
-Why is celibacy a "higher call"?
-Why is it okay to choose marriage even though celibacy is a higher calling?

Ch. 6
-What's the difference between passivity and receptivity? Which is Ephesians 5 calling for?
-What does it mean for marriage to be a great mystery in reference to Christ and the Church?
-What does it mean for the marital embrace to be the reality which corresponds to the meaning of the vows?

These are just a few questions. I imagine we'll spend quite a bit of time on the passage from Ephesians 5 as well.

TOB Ch. 4

We've got Ch. 4 for 11/26. It's short, so we'll all be caught up before we take on 5 and 6 the next week. I'll post some ?'s this weekend. Have a blessed holiday.

TOB Ch. 3

We're doing Ch. 3 for next Monday. Post any questions for discussion in the comments section. I'll try to post a couple of things to get us started off.

TOB Ch. 2

Hey, sorry I haven't gotten something up earlier for tonight. I have been out of town. We're doing Ch. 2 tonight. Post any discussion questions in the comments section. God bless.

TOB Ch. 1

Suggestions for discussion questions can be posted as comments on this post. After we meet next Monday, you can also come back and post further reflections or maybe something we missed that you wanted to mention.

The Beginning

Welcome to the St. Jude young adults' blog/message board. This came about as a way to post different reflections or questions during the week for the Theology of the Body study group. If you have any ideas about other ways we could use this to serve St. Jude's young adults, let me know.
