This Sunday’s Gospel

John 16:12-15

Discussion Questions

1.  How does this gospel give an inside glimpse of the unity of the Father, son & Holy Spirit?  Can you compare in a tangible way a human relationship that shares a similar unity?
2. Do you feel you also cannot bear some truths?  Which ones are most difficult?  Why?
