Discipleship

Hello everyone! We hope that your week has been great so far (: So sorry for the extremely delayed posts! We have been really busy these past weeks :/

The session on 31 August was on a talk about Discipleship, by Ramesh! For those who weren't there, don't worry for we will have that session summarized into this one post (:

So.... Discipleship... Have you ever asked yourself what being a disciple meant? Well, that was one of the first few questions that Ramesh asked us. We had a little while to buzz with the people next to us on what we felt the word "disciple" meant. And well, words such as "student", "laity" "follower of Christ" came up. But what does discipleship mean to YOU? Does it simply mean just following what Jesus would have done? Or maybe, following what the bible teaches?

Ramesh touched specifically on what we could do as disciples of Christ. In particular, what we as lay people could do! According to the CCC (Catechism of the Catholic Church), we are all "the faithful, who by baptism are incorporated into Christ and integrated into the people of God". We are also "made sharers in their particular way in the priestly, prophetic and kingly office of Christ, and have their own part to play in the mission of the whole Christian people in the Church and in the World". - LG 27, CCC 897.

Doesn't that make you feel really really important and amazed at how huge a role you can play as a Christian in today's world? We really hope that that message reminded you of how special you are in God's eyes and in the eyes of the world that He has so beautifully created. Now, never forget that you too play a part in spreading the Word of God to others. You have the role of permeating Christ through the social, economical and political realities of life.

But are you willing to take on that role and be a faithful disciple in Christ?

Love,
COSDU (:
