Hello Brother Knights,
At our next KofC meeting on Tuesday, May 17th we will be continuing our discussion on our book by Matthew Kelly Life is Messy with Part 4. Part 4 of the book will be starting with the chapter The past through the chapter Move toward the light (~pages 76-102). For those that do not have the book, you may still be able to pick one up at Church or contact me directly to have a copy delivered to you.
This book is about putting our lives back together, and allowing ourselves to be put back together, when life doesn’t turn out as we expected it to. Based on his own heart-wrenching personal journals, Matthew Kelly shares how the worst three years of his life affected him, by exploring this question: Can someone who has been broken be healed and become more beautiful and more lovable than ever before?
Here are some possible discussion questions that have been recommended for you to think on as you read the 4th part:
Question 1: “Flourishing is beyond happiness. It is produced not only by a person’s choices and actions, but also by a nurturing environment.” MK p.83
- Do your relationships, your family, your social group, school, church, workplace, or neighborhood provide an environment that is uniquely nurturing?
- What do you need to flourish?
Question 2: Read Autobiography in Five Short Chapters by Portia Nelson on p.87-88.
- Which chapter describes where you are?
- Are you ready to walk down another street?
Question 3: Sometimes in our distress, the only action we can take is to “move toward the light.”
- What types of things draw you into the darkness?
- What draws you into the light?
Thank you all,
Marc Gregoire
