Reflection 289
Based
on the 1965 Vatican II document: (Comments welcome here) |
The
final line of this article says that it's good for families to belong to a small
group or cell in order to carry out goals of the apostolate
Some groups of families meet once a month...in each other's homes....often on a Sunday night....for a light meal, then Bible sharing, then planning of apostolic experiences
Some groups of families meet once a week ...for the same as above
The
meal: everyone brings something
The sharing: adults/teenagers in one group, children in another
The
apostolic experiences:
- run a stall at a school/parish fete
- help with annual collection for some charity
- visit a hospital/nursing home
- visit and help poor families
- etc
Jesus, please help more families form into Christian Action Groups
