About this Episode

Dilexit Nos in a Year session 3 - Chapter 1 paragraphs 5 through 8. - Like Grandma's Cookies
Pope Francis continues with the symbolic meaning of the heart as a locus of sincerity. He asks us questions about the nature of the way we see ourselves authentically, and how we live in the world.
He explores the idea behind deceit, falsehood, pretense and lies, versus living an authentic life full of the leaven of truth. Using scriptural passages from Samson and Delilah, and Luke's gospel.

Each session of Dilexit Nos in a Year begins by breaking open the scriptures and topics coverred in order to outline the themes of Pope Francis, and frame our conversations for the weekly discussion for the year ahead. For the next 50 weeks, we will work through four to five paragraphs reading of the text of Dilexit Nos, with opening prayer, and short reflection based upon the paragraphs covered and the prayerful discussions of the questions to ponder together as we reflect on the work of spiritual and communal formation and mission in this Jubilee Year of Hope.
