Thought provoking questions on Scriptures draw participants into a deeper encounter with Jesus Christ  the reason for the hope that we hold (1 Peter 3:15). When we know Jesus  we want God to be the center of our lives. Then we truly become Jesus disciples: recognizing his voice and following where he leads because we trust him. Each study offers a Connecting to Christ section inspiring readers to open their hearts to Jesus in a new way  allowing him to transform every part of their lives. An individual using The Way will grow in relationship to Jesus through experience  reflection  prayer and study (Our Hearts were Burning Within Us  U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops). The sessions are designed  though  to serve as tools for building intentional Catholic Christian community. So that all parishes may be truly communities of Christians  local ecclesial authorities ought to foster small  basic or so-called living communities  where the faithful can communicate the word of God and express it in service and love to one another; these communities are true expressions of ecclesial communion and centers of evangelization in communion with their pastors. -John Paul II  The Lay Members of Christs Faithful People Small group leader training is ideal  but any group could begin meeting using the basic guidelines in the appendices of The Way: how to prepare; small group facilitation; prayer in the group; and group dynamics.
