Chapter 17: Compassionate Harvest-a Model for Service
1. In what ways do we live out the redemptive kindness of God in service to the needy and downtrodden in society? In our family?
2. How can we help our children look at other people through Jesus' eyes and respond as He did?
3. Share an example of an interruption that turned out to be a ministry opportunity.
4. Jesus never asks us to do what he has not already been willing to do. John 15:13 [Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.] states the Lord's definition of the greatest love a person could give. How did he show this kind of love for us? If you strive to follow his example, how would it change the way you parent your children?
Action Point-
Name three ways in which you have laid down your own life (goals, time or expectations) for your children. In what specific areas do your children need to learn how to lay down their own lives and expectations so they can become mature and ready to serve God?

Chapter 17: The Priest and His Mother
Definition-
putative (page 274)-purported; commonly put forth or accepted as true on inconclusive grounds
1. Have you consecrated yourself and/or your child(ren) to Mary? How do you pray for them, specifically concerning their vocation? (page 271)
2. What role does Marian devotion play in your spirituality? (page 275)
3. Amidst which daily tasks do you find yourself "on duty" rather than "on love"? (page 275)
4. How does the reality that "every soul is either a potential convert or a potential saint" impact your daily interactions? (page 276)
5. Share an example of how Mary has lightened your cross. (page 276)
6. "The Marian dimension of the Church is antecedent to that of the Petrine, without being in any way divided from it or being less complementary (Mulieris Dignitatem, On the Dignity and Vocation of Women, footnote 55). In what ways does our vocation as Catholic women support the dignity and vocation of our priests? our husbands?
