We have completed discussion on Chapter 3 (The Kitchen) and Chapter 4 (The Basement) as of class today. We had an excellent discussion today and wonderful attendance. All are encouraged to keep up with the discussion on the blog (www.olmcmp.blogspot.com) and make some comments. There is a wealth of thought provoking material within the pages of the book, and we should all feel challenged to, as Hunt points out on page 46 (echoing Matthew Kelly) become the best version of ourselves! This is modern parlance for the concept of living the holiness that is within each and every one of us by participating in the Sacraments (especially The Eucharist) and cooperating with the grace that we receive. Our mission is to carry this out in to the world at large.
On page 59 Hunt relates and incident where one of his Methodist denominational leaders accuses him of “thinking too much”. There was a very relevant blog this week by Eric Sammons (The Divine Life) entitled “Is My Egg Head Scrambled or Sunnyside Up?” See below for the link to that blog. Have a look at it if you have time, and be sure to check out the many comments that follow it. It rang true to many of us in class today.
We will move forward to Chapter 5 (The Bedroom) and Chapter 6 (The Family Cemetary) next week. That should be an interesting pairing!
