Life is Messy by Matthew Kelly (Current Knights Discussion Book - Part 5)

Hello Brother Knights,

At our next KofC meeting on Tuesday, June 21st we will be continuing our discussion on our book by Matthew Kelly Life is Messy with Part 5. Part 5 of the book will be starting with the chapter One choice at a time through the chapter Forgiveness (~pages 102-127). 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 5th part:

Question 1: “The greatest threat to your happiness and wholeness is your unrecognized 
spiritual needs.” We are spiritual beings. Matthew writes, “You cannot live life to the fullest if 

you ignore your spiritual self.” 

• Have you ignored your spiritual self?
• What things have you put before caring for and nurturing your soul? 
• How can you begin to feed your soul? 

Question 2: Reflect on and discuss the three appointments: with self, with God, with death. 

p. 120-123.

• Which of these would be the hardest for you?
• Which of these is the most necessary for you right now?
