Paschal Circles Seeking, Sharing and Supporting How does Christ invite me to share in His Paschal mystery?
Paschal Circles are a way for individuals to share what is important to us, keeping the focus on Christ and growing in awareness of how God is working in our lives. Ideally, Paschal Circle groups gather on a weekly basis as a source of support and accountability for each other, sharing our lives and growing in Christian faith and community. What follows is a suggested method of conducting these Circles, allowing everyone a chance to share without the interruption of advice and commentary by other members of the group. The format of the Paschal Circle does not demand that every point be addressed, but individuals should reflect on their lives in terms of dying, rising and going forth in the spirit of Discipleship. Once everyone has shared, additional comments may be given, but please be considerate of each person’s journey and realize that the group’s role is one of support, rather than judgment or the fixing of another person’s problems. [Brief period of prayer and reflection before sharing begins.] Dying: Rising: Going Forth: Close with “Our Father”
