Heart of Jesus Catholic Study Guidies

WELCOME

Purpose

The purpose of the Heart of Jesus Catholic Bible studies is to help men and women encounter Jesus Christ in Scripture, develop a deeper relationship with Him and fall in love with God and His Holy Word. It is our hope that all hearts will be set on fire as Jesus opens the Scriptures to them just as He did with the disciples on the Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35).

The Catholic Church Encourages Prayerful Study & Reflection on Scripture

The Catholic Church encourages the prayerful study and reflection on Holy Scripture by all the faithful:

“Assess to sacred Scripture should be provided for all the Christian faithful” and “all the Christian faithful” should “learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ’ (Phil. 3: 8) by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures... (As St. Ambrose wrote) ‘Prayer should accompany the reading of sacred Scripture so a dialogue takes place between God and man. For, we speak to Him when we pray; we hear Him when we read the divine oracles [Scriptures]" (Dei Verbum, Sec. 22 & 25).

Imprimatur

All studies have a Nihil Obstat from the Censor Librorum and an Imprimatur from the Archbishop of Omaha so that you can be assured the studies are free of doctrinal or moral error.

Format

The Heart of Jesus Study Guides combine reflection on Scripture with through guided questions, commentary, historical notes, Scripturally-grounded prayer, and personal application.

Each study is written in a format that follows the advise of St Augustine for studying Scripture:

· Read Scripture in its historical and cultural context;

· Study the meaning of words in the original language of Scripture

· Apply basic truths and precepts to daily living;

· Include commentary that summarizes the key points; and

· Memorize key passages.

Guided questioning is provided to help participants focus on the answers within the verses and to hear the Word of God speak to the hearts in a personal way.

Small Groups

The Study Guides are especially designed to be used in small group settings. They have been successfully tested and used in many venues, such as

· Parish prayer groups (e.g., the Heart of Jesus Prayer Group™)

· Parish Bible studies,

· RCIA programs,

· High school religion classes, or

· Family home study.

They can also be used for individual study and reflection.
