Women’s Session Questions:
Goal: For the young women to realize how, through Mary’s fiat, their femininity has also been redeemed. Where Eve’s inheritance is that of concupiscence and sin, through our baptism we’re able to share in Mary’s inheritance from the Father.
Women’s Session Scripture: Ephesians 5:14 – “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”
Take some time to discuss the morning:
- From Mass this morning, what is one thing that struck you from the Mass or the homily
- Why?
- How can the Mass help illuminate our minds to who Jesus is?
- Follow up with an encouragement on how to participate more fully in Mass at your home parish.
- In what ways do you see the inheritance of Eve ‘take flesh’ in your life?
- In what ways do you see the inheritance of Mary ‘take flesh’ in your life?
- In what ways do you hope to grow more like Mary in her expression of authentic femininity?
For the small group leader: We encourage you to briefly share how the contrast between Eve’s inheritance and Mary’s inheritance has impacted your own life.
- Who are some people in your life who live out an authentic femininity? In what ways do you see them live our authentic femininity?
- What was your experience of the prayer time after the talk?
- Did God say anything particular to you? Did anything stick out to you in the time of prayer?
- How can you pray with your friends more after this weekend? How can this kind of prayer be incorporated more in your youth ministry?
