Liturgy prep is a treasure of Benque life. I love it. Every Saturday morning, a group of S.O.L.T. candidates, priests, sister, some volunteers, and some students meet in the convent after morning Mass and we enjoy delicious breakfast and reflect on Scripture. We look at the readings from the next Sunday Mass and reflect and then share. It is similar to a Bible study. It is simple, yet I have found that it is one of the greatest treasures in my volunteer life out here.
There is something so moving and consoling about reflecting upon Scripture. I love that everyone has their own personal touch to their reflection and often remind or inspire me of things I may never have thought of. It is a flame to my mission "fire" that at times grows dim by the end of a week.
Praise God for Liturgy prep!
I can just imagine it. It must be amazing and deeply moving at times. Thanks for the post.
