Session 5 (week of March 22):
My Response to Hunger

 

This week we complete our five-week series on our Journey Against Hunger and look at ways that we ourselves can bring dignity to our neighbors, support the common good, and become part of the solution. 

 

  • What am I (we) already doing? Think about what you are already doing to feed the hungry. What community organizations or groups do you work with and/or know about? Do you know others close to you working to combat hunger? What are they doing and/or who are they working with? How do you share your acts of service and the needs of others?

  • Reflect on these quotes attributed to Mother Theresa. Which quote strikes you and what do you feel God is calling you to do at this time? Which quotes comfort you? Which quotes challenge you?

  • Study the scripture of 1 Peter 4: 10-11. What abilities/gifts has God given you to share with the world? How can you best apply your gifts to the issues of alleviating hunger? Why is keeping Christ in the center pivotal to what we do? How can you continue to challenge yourself to grow in your faith and in service to others?

  • Learn more about the ART of Catholic Social Teaching. This is one of the many ways we can look at the constant progression and building of our faith. Act to solve immediate needs by providing acts of charity; Reflect on who you are helping and why people are needing the assistance they need (accompany them, get to know them, learn their story); and then Transform the social structures and those communites you are working with through social and political advocacy. Take some time to fill out the blank chart thinking of ways you already are, or are being called to grow.

  • Go forth to love and serve the Lord! Print or save this list of ideas and resources and continue to get involved.

 

Thank you for joining us on this journey and many blessings this Easter season!
