Fr. John suggests the following questions for your pilgrim group discussions:

1. At Cana, Jesus is revealed as the Divine Bridegroom. Have you prayed with that title of Christ before? If not, how might you begin to do so? 
2. How might the title "Divine Bridegroom" expand our sense of the Church and God’s desire to “unite all things in Christ” (Eph 1:10)?

Fr. John recommends the book "The Cantata of Love. A Verse by Verse Reading of The Song of Songs" by Fr. Blaise Arminjon, S.J

Emmaus 90 is a 90-day New Years to Easter journey for those seeking a closer relationship with Jesus. This year, we’re focusing on growing as disciples who strive to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus does.

Discipleship grows in relationship. One of the ways we most readily recognize Jesus drawing near is in and through others who are on this journey with us. This week, Pete Burds will help us reflect on "Who I am walking with?" and who might God be inviting me to "walk with" on this journey. Pete serves as Chief Mission Officer for NET Ministries, overseeing missionary formation, training, and programming, as well as YDisciple and leadership development.

Discussion Questions for your Pilgrim Group: 

1. Who is someone in your life that immediately comes to mind to "walk with"?
2. What might be challenging about "walking with" another person?

Pete references "Overview of Thresholds of Conversion" from the Emmaus 90 Guide book page 138-139

Fr. Kubicki helps us reflect on the question: How do I recognize Jesus drawing near? Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24, when we feel worry and discouragement, we can turn to “fix our eyes on Jesus” and see how He is gazing at us in our day. He reveals Himself to us in the Scripture and in the midst of our daily life. Your daily prayer with Scripture and Examen help you to recognize him with you.

Please use the following questions when you are meeting with your pilgrim group:

1. What are some obstacles to my meeting and recognizing Jesus in my daily life?  
2. What does Jesus' interaction with the disciples teach me about how to walk with others on their faith journey?

Fr. Kubicki references Pope Benedict's The Word of the Lord Apostolic Exhortation

Catechism paragraph 1 tells us that in all times in every place, Jesus draws near to us.
But, why though? And, what does that mean for you? for your life? Tonight, Sr. M. Karolyn Nunes, Vocation Director with Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George  helps us to explore these important questions as she leads our Formation Session: "Why Does Jesus Draw Near?"  
 
Sr. Karolyn will be referencing the following in her talk:

• Dilexit Nos by Pope Francis #s 33-38
• Padre Pio’s Prayer After Communion

Her Questions for your Pilgrim Group this week are:

1. What can I do on a daily basis to notice when and how Jesus draws near?
2. What holds me back from telling Jesus “all the things”?
3. How can I practice more radical honesty with Jesus?

He offers the following encouragements to live your Sunday well: 1. Stop 2. Worship 3. Rest 4. Delight 5. Serve, and he invites us to reflect on the following questions in our pilgrim groups:

He offers the following questions to discuss with your pilgrim group or a friend this week:

1. Share a time in your life when you were in a place of vulnerability and someone loved and received you. How did this impact your spiritual growth?
2. Share a time in your life when someone recognized gifts you possessed or a need you had, and committed themselves caring and developing you.
