GOSPEL AT HOME
“A stroll with Jesus through the sanctuary of your soul”.
Get together with your family, friends or anyone who might
want to work on their spiritual growth. Somewhere in the house where
you can form a circle for easy communication, create a space where people
can be comfortable and let their minds roam knowing their souls are
safe.
After that, read a passage from The Gospel according to
Spiritism, or the New Testament, which is its source.
Discuss the passage; explore the different points of view
and try to understand the teachings by applying it specifically to your
own lives.
By looking at Jesus teachings on a regular basis, you
will come to see Him as an Unconditional Friend who can walk beside
you every day, if you choose so.
The Gospel at Home is a venue for spiritual growth, that
helps us to be tolerant, respectful, compassionate towards ourselves
and others, at the same time, that it expands our spirituality. Guidelines:
- Designate a place, time and day of the week to have
the Study of the Gospel at Home.
- Be consistent with the scheduled time. The continuity of the study
is highly important.
- Keep interruptions to a minimum.
- One person will be the facilitator, respecting everyone’s ideas
without judging or critizing.
- Invite all members of the family to participate.

Disconnect the telephone or any other device that may be distracting
to the Study and attention for the duration of the meeting.

to commencing the opening prayer.
