DEEPENING
THE MYSTERY
A Guided Journal
through Mystagogia
Blessie LaScola
Paper, $13.95
112 pages, 8 1/2" x 11"
ISBN 0-89390-683-2
Deepening the Mystery; A Guided Journal through Mystagogia
is designed to help the newly initiated look back to the rites and forward
to the future through thought-provoking questions based primarily on the
rites as well as on the formation period. The book is a tool to let the
newly initiated reflect on their experience in a way that will deepen their
understanding and their relationship with Jesus Christ, as well as help
them set goals for future spiritual growth. Drawing on many years of work
with the catechumenate, the author has formulated a series of questions
designed to stimulate growth and reflection. It can also be used as a resource
for the catechumenate team to use as an indicator of what the neophytes
should experience in the RCIA process.
