This week we focus on Fidelity to the Church--the skeleton of the Anatomy of a Catholic Disciple. We don't much think about our skeleton unless it's broken, but the skeleton gives important structure to the body that helps us to stand and move freely. Fidelity to the Church is like that: growing in faithfulness to Church teaching helps us to live and move with greater freedom. Questions for Small Group Discussion:Where do you go to find answers to the deepest questions? What teaching of the Church have you struggled with most, or are you struggling with now? How can you take those questions to God?When the teachings of the Church conflict with the consensus of the world, what do you do? Is there anything you would like to do differently?References from tonight’s sessionMark 9:14-24The Martin Center for IntegrationEmmaus 90 is a 90-day New Years to Easter journey for those seeking a closer relationship with Jesus.

We continue our exploration of discipleship, focusing on community, the flesh of the Anatomy of a Catholic Disciple.

So too, the Christian community protects us, warms our hearts, and helps us to interact with the world in healthy ways.Questions for your Pilgrim Group Discussion:Share a time in your life when you experienced a supportive community.
