Dilexit Nos in a Year - Session 4 - Returning to the Heart

DIlexit Nos in a Year - Session 4 - Chapter 1, Returning to the heart - Paragraphs 9-13.
Pope Francis asks us to contemplate a return to the heart in the midst of a world that no longer recognizes authenticity or the need for an interior life, in order to recognize ourselves and be able to grow intimacy with others.

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.
