Chapter 3 Questions
1.) Why do you think desire has a "disreputable reputation" in some religious circles? When have you experienced the "deep longings of the hearts" that the author describes? How have you accomplished the sometimes difficult task of finding these holy desires among the surface wants that are so distracting? (discussion)
2.) Fr. Martin refers several times throughout the book to the "God of Surprises," that it, the God who meets us in ways we often don't or wouldn't predict. Have you ever experienced the "God of Surprises"? (discussion)
3.) One of Fr. Martin's first lessons when he entered the Jesuit novitiate was that "God meets you where you are" (Pg.81). Was that insight new to you? How might God meet you where you are now? (discussion)
