Dilexit Nos in a Year - Session 12 - Jesus' Words

Pope Francis concludes Chapter 2 of Dilexit Nos with paragraphs 43-47, highlighting Jesus' words of love and expressions of deep emotion, passion, and compassion in the gospel accounts. From scriptures, we can be assured of Christ's love for us in word and deed, as it was in the beginning, now, and for all the ages to come. Christ loves us.

Each session of Dilexit Nos in a Year begins by breaking open the scriptures and topics covered 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.
