An Encyclical Letter of Pope John Paul II

On the Eucharist in its Relationship to the ChurchDescription: This easy to follow 33-page study guide (PDF) is a small discussion group program that explains in ordinary language how to understand this very important Church document and apply it to our every-day lives and today’s world. Group facilitators don’t need to be experts; they only need to serve as discussion starters and time-keepers.

The US Bishops, in a statement about the document they’re preparing on Eucharistic coherency, wrote: “The intent is to present a clear understanding of the Church’s teachings to bring heightened awareness among the faithful of how the Eucharist can transform our lives and bring us closer to our creator and the life he wants for us.” The book, My Soul Shall be Healed, does exactly that!

This program can be held in 5 to 7 sessions, depending on how much time the group will spend in the Introduction and Conclusion. Suggestion: Use the Introduction by itself to invite people to join the group!
