Gospel Share
We meet online between 7.30 and 8.30 on Thursday evening.
If you would like to attend please email Ann-Marie on catechist.cathedral@lrcd.org.uk
We use Lectio Divina - sacred reading of scripture to help us prepare for the Sunday Gospel and readings.
No experience is needed just a willingness to come and listen and if you want to share your ideas and questions.
Our format includes:
A welcome
We listen to our first reading
A musical version of the psalm
We listen to our 2nd Reading
Our Gospel - we listen to the Gospel three times -
The first time we simply listen to the words
The second time we read the reading for ourselves and then listen whilst someone reads the reading
We then call out a word of phrase that strikes us
The third time we listen to the Gospel for a third time
After this we share our response - which might be a question, something that has struck us, something we've heard in a homily in the past, something we've read about. We also share how we might respond to our Gospel reading in the coming week.
To help us we sometimes look at sacred art, or a short video guide
We close with a piece of music linked to the Gospel and pray the Glory Be,
