Suggested Discipleship Work For the Week
Read Fr. Alex's papers in the above PDFs. It would be a great idea to read them over slowly and ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to deeper understanding as you go. When you hit a line that strikes you, or makes you curious or even skeptical, just say
"Holy Spirit, can you tell me more about that?"
"Jesus, how does this apply to my life?"
Or even, if you're at a point like I once was,
"God, if you are actually there, can you show me if this is even true and how I would know?"
Write down your answers in the margins or in a journal. Just put down what you think God might be saying (don't worry if you feel like it's just you...we'll talk more about how God speaks to us through us and how to discern the difference later)...just take a leap and try talking to Him and asking Him questions.
