Jesus has already appeared to the women at the tomb, to the two on the road to Emmaus and to Simon Peter. Jesus is establishing the reality of the Resurrecon from the dead. He explains to them his mission in the light of the Old Testament prophecies and he empowers them with spreading the message to the enre world. 1. Do you feel that Jesus has empowered you with a mission to spread His message? How would you do this? 2. Why is it important for Jesus to teach the apostles about his fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies? 3. What other ways can we as Chrisans teach about Jesus mission besides preaching them?

The Risk of Missing the Point Pope Francis challenges us to reconsider if we have become listless and weary. Is it possible that we make ourselves so busy that we forget what truly maers? In this presenta!on David will challenge us to re-think our lives, not to make us feel bad or guilty, but to enable us to rediscover what gives us life and energy. (Sacrament of Reconciliaon will follow for those who would like to celebrate it.) Monday Night Vietato Lamentarsi! Becoming Free and Cheerful Missionaries Pope Francis challenges us to be happy. In this session we will focus on the kind of people Jesus calls us to be. What difference would the great virtues make if we tried to prac!ce them? This session is less about what we should do and more about who we should be. Tuesday Night. Me? A Disciple? Give Me a Break Much is spoken these days about missionary disciples. When Jesus calls us to be his witnesses what does he ask and can we respond regardless of our own weaknesses and doubts? Is it!me to grow, to dare, to take a risk?

He speaks frequently throughout England, the United States and Canada. His storytelling invites his audience to marvel at the wonders our God has brought into our lives.
