Chapter 6: The Widow of Nain
Lk 7: 11-17
1. Who are the people that support you in a temporal way? spiritually? Who do you support?
2. How is praying for the poor souls in purgatory a part of your prayer life?
3. Share an experience of a time you acted purely on faith (such as the widow's offering), trusting in God's providence. What was the result?
4. Make an extra effort to be aware and grateful for the miracles of life that surround you this week.

Chapter 6: Inspiring a Sense of Purpose
1. What things or involvements has God called you to abandon as you follow Him more closely?
2. How has your relationship with Christ shaped "what you want to be when you grow-up"? How can we help our child(ren) redefine success with God's understanding rather than the world's?
3. What have you done to make Christ known to the people in your life?
4 In what way does the knowledge that your child(ren) are ultimately God's make it easier/more difficult to raise them?
5. Read Matthew 6:33 [But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well]. This passage is clear about what our priorities should be, but priorities can easily become skewed in the course of daily life. Consider the way you send your time and your money. What does this say to your children about what is most important to you, and is this the message you want to send? In light of this verse, should a mother's children be her first priority?
Action point-Make concrete resolution that will help you to seek God's kingdom throughout your day.

Chapter 6: The Spirit and Conversion
1. Looking back on your spiritual journey, identify at least one key conversion experience. Did it begin as a moral crisis of physical, emotional or spiritual suffering? Was it a crisis of the soul? How have you become a "new" person as a result of the experience? (pages 106-107)
2. When you have the opportunity to discuss matters of faith with non-believers, are their objections more often intellectual or moral? Has the Spirit had an apologetic success through you? (pages 111-112)
3. As mothers, is love the foundation of our authority over our child(ren)? (page 115)
4. "The Scriptures are not merely a record of historical events that have passed. They constitute for every age a revelation of God's mind and Will to each individual." When have you experienced God clearly speaking to you through Scripture? (page 117)
