81. The Apostolate

"The charity of charities is the Apostolate"

As we continue our book study on I Believe in Love, we explore what it means to live the life of an apostle. Father Jean says, "To be an apostle is to give Jesus to souls and souls to Jesus by making Him known in order to make Him loved, by filling yourself with Him in order to give Him, according to the beautiful definition of Father Mateo, 'An apostle is a chalice full of Jesus which overflows onto souls.'

I'm not sure about you friends, but my heart greatly desires to be this chalice full of Christ himself, which overflows onto others. 

Discussion Questions: 

1. "You know that the prayer of prayers is the Mass; perfect adoration, perfect expiation, perfect thanksgiving, it is also perfect supplication of the immolated Jesus; it is the dearest treasure of the apostolate." How is the Mass a "treasure" for you? How can attending Mass with a surrendered disposition, no matter how chaotic this busy season of life is, be a source of great treasure for those with littles? 

2."He Himself needs others, because He wishes to use them as His instruments...So many diverse fields of activity are open today to those who want to be apostles." How are you currently being used as an instrument for Christ? Do you desire to be used more? In what way? 

3. How can you use prayer and suffering to be an apostle for the Church?
