Brothers:
I hope your advent reflection and the challenge to read each chapter of the Gospel of Luke is assisting you in preparing for Christ's arrival on Christmas.
Deacon Leo asked that I forward these additional reflection questions as we approach the half way point of the Luke Gospel.
Ch. 7 V.10 How is the Centurion a model for me?
V.16 What does this incident teach me about who Jesus is?
V.47 In what way is this woman an example for me?
Ch. 8 V.8 Why do I think that Jesus His listeners to figure out the point of the parable themselves? If I heard Jesus teach this parable, what would I have taken to be its significance?
V.21 How do I go about hearing the Word of God?
V.25 What answer do I give to the question, "Who is this?"
Ch. 9 V.6 How do I demonstrate by my deeds the saving power of the Gospel
message?
V.17 What does Jesus' feeding of the crowd tell me about Him?
V.23 How can I better live each day as if it were my last?
Ch.10 V.1 To whom has Jesus sent me, to prepare them to meet Him?
V.9 How am I empowered to make God's reign a reality in the lives of
others?
Ch. 11 V.8 How do I understand Jesus' words? What lessons do they convey to
me about prayer? About my Heavenly Father?
V.13 When Have I prayed to receive the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit in my life?
Ch. 12 V.4 What does it mean for me that Jesus Calls me His friend?
V.12 How have I experienced the Holy Spirit guiding me in bearing witness to Jesus?
Ch. 13 V13 How often do I glorify and praise God for what he has done for me?
V.27 Does my conduct allow Jesus to call me His friend? What do I
need to change?
I hope everyone has a blessed Advent season.
God Bless,
John Fitzpatrick
