Dilexit Nos in a Year - Session 15 - A Love that is Tangible

Pope Francis continues Chapter 3, presenting the reality of Jesus's love in human and divine terms as a tangible love with affections, passions, and corporal understandings of all that it means to be human and yet divine in nature, eternal and unwavering. This section gets to the fundamental truth of Christ as the unique incarnation and salvation of the God of Love. Once for all, born in time, and yet unbounded by it, that we all might experience intimately and readily.

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.
