Apostles Creed Spirituality Session: I believe ...

I believe in the resurrection of the body 
and life everlasting
Focal area with images linked to the theme of the session
including images of the four last things - death, judgement, hell and heaven
With only 40 days left before we come to the end of the Year of Faith the spirituality session focused on the next two articles of the Apostles' Creed.  Using lectio divina (sacred reading) based 1 Corinthians 15 as a way of reflecting on what the resurrection of the body means, the group then shared and reflected on images of heaven.   
The next spirituality session Monday 11th November there will be an opportunity to reflect and think about the Apostles' Creed as a whole and there will be an opportunity to think about the word Amen we say at the end of this and other prayers and after we have received Jesus' Body and Blood in Holy Communion.  There will be time for individuals to reflect on what they believe and profess each time we renew our Baptismal Promises.
