Reflection Questions of the Week

Reflection upon the Word of God is vital to our lives as Catholic Christians. Each week we present questions in this column to help you to think about what you have heard in the scriptures at Mass. Some people also like to prepare for the upcoming Sunday Mass by reading and reflecting upon the scriptures they will hear the next Sunday. We hope you find this helpful.
