How would you respond if a friend of yours were to ask you “How does your faith help you deal with the hardship I am experiencing with life?” So many of us are searching for meaning, hope, and healing in our lives. This is one of the reasons why Pope Francis wrote his encyclical called ‘The Joy of the Gospel’ [Evangelii Gaudium]. He says, “I invite all Christians, everywhere, at this very moment, to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ, or at least an openness to letting him encounter them; I ask all of you to do this unfailingly each day.[EG3]”

How are you responding to Pope Francis’ words? What does a ‘renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ look like in your life today? Last year 15 parishioners journeyed together through ‘Discovering Christ’ and each experienced their own ‘renewed personal encounter with Jesus’.
