Questions to Consider for Letter II

  1. Define the Church Visible and Invisible (Building, People, Liturgy - Transcendental Body) and what is the impact on our attitude when we focus on the behavior of individuals?
  2. How do we differentiate between reality and appearance? Why daily life issues are fertile ground for temptations?
  3. How can one avoid the “anticlimax” after a conversion experience?
  4. How can we prepare to overcome the disappointments, and the “dry spells” in our Christian Life?
  5. Discuss the contrasts of hypocrisy and humility.
  6. How do we respond to God’s love?
  7. Are Christians better than other people in any sense?
  8. What is the common component of “free lovers and servants” and do you agree that God lets us "do it on our own?"
  9. How can we learn to control our emotions and why can trained emotions can be a source of joy not a step towards hypocrisy?
  10. Discuss the importance of habits (discipline): mentally and bodily (and their role in the sanctification process)
