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?
