Intentional Disciples

*This series was offered in 2013-14.  For 2016-17, we are creating Torch groups and resources for the Fall, Lent, and Late Spring.  Torch groups meet weekly for prayer with Scripture, reflection on the Dominican tradition, and faith-sharing.  Torch Sign-ups.

What do you mean by Intentional Disciple?

Few Christians would argue the premise that we are called to be disciples of Jesus Christ. What “being a disciple” means and what that looks like is a great deal more confusing. At St. Dominic’s, we invite you to engage the concept of discipleship head-on. Maybe you’re already a disciple. If so, hopefully you will discover how to be more intentional about your discipleship. Maybe you’re not yet a disciple. If so, hopefully you will enter into a deeper understanding of what it means to be a disciple and become more hungry to respond to Jesus’ call.

Is there something wrong with me if I’m not a disciple or if I don’t know how to answer the question?

No, in fact, we assume that 90-95% of Catholics will answer “no,” “I don’t know,” or “huh.” Hopefully, we can agree that it is a question that is important enough to explore.

Jesus, let us hear your call anew.
Bless us with the courage to respond.
Clear away all barriers. Make us your disciples.
