The Liturgical Bible Study<\/strong> or LBS<\/strong> is a Catholic Bible study that uses the readings of Sunday Mass<\/strong>. It is in a question and answer format that studies the text as it stands, verse by verse. This method is participatory and based more on experience and observation rather than theological knowledge; it recognizes that each member is a resource. The role of the leader is just to facilitate and not to teach; he\/she is there to draw out the answers and enable participants. After the study, participants come up altogether with a one-line message for the whole week, to be lived out and to be shared to family and friends. As the person participates in LBS, he\/she is also being prepared for the Holy Eucharist<\/strong> of the coming Sunday<\/strong>. This supports a more meaningful experience in the mass.<\/p>\n Some of the youngsters of the Chiesa del Carmine \u2013 Milano<\/a><\/strong>, together with young people from other Catholic communities in Milan, meet and organize LBS in cafes, bistro and sometimes simply in the food court of shopping centers. Having LBS in a cozy, relaxed and informal environment, with a cup of hot beverage (or cold, depending on the season) and some food makes the participants more comfortable, allowing them to feel at ease and to speak with no pressure. It also makes an activity generally considered as non-interesting by young people likeable and enjoyable.<\/p>\n During these times of lockdown, where every single person is forced to stay in his\/her own home, youngsters are able to continue their weekly encounters to study Sunday Mass<\/a><\/strong>\u2019 readings thanks to the gift of technology, using FB messenger video chat and Zoom cloud Meetings.<\/p>\n LBS meetings thru video conferences are fun too, surely the hope is to finally meet each other in person and come back to having LBS outside with a nice cup of cappuccino!<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Un post condiviso da Chiesa del Carmine – Milano (@chiesadelcarmine)<\/a> in data: \n
