Spirit and Truth NJ ~ Friday, December 9th, 2016




McGuinness Center 

8:30 pm


Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament


We will read this Sunday's Gospel  together 

in preparation for the Third Sunday of Advent~ Gaudete Sunday

Matthew 11: 2-11


Reflection Questions:

1. What struck you most in this passage?  
What did you notice that you hadn't noticed before?

2. If God really wanted people to recognize Jesus as the Messiah, couldn't he have made it more obvious?  Many of Jesus' contemporaries didn't believe in him.  Could God have done anthing more to convince them?

3. Today's Christian can see many more signs than John the Baptist's disciples could, especially the endurance and growth of the Catholic Church and the lives of thousands of saints.  Why do Christians still struggle to obey God's will? Why do nonbelievers resist all these signs?  

4. How can we be better signs of Christ's truth for those around us?
