Known Session 3
When a teen misses a session of High School Faith Formation, the Concord Carlisle Catholic Collaborative expects that teen to view the video(s) missed and complete this simple online form.

The videos for this session are found at Formed.org (free subscription - choose our church when you sign up), then choose from the Menu at the top "Programs" - "Youth Programs". Choose the channel "YDisciple" and find the series "Known: Experiencing God in Prayer".

Session 3 is titled "Letting God Speak: Meditation and Contemplation". Watching the videos will take about 22 minutes, and answering the questions may take 15 minutes. Keep in mind that the quality of your response will help Tony and his Faith Formation Leaders determine if you actually viewed the videos (which we think are quite good)!

Overview
Often we approach prayer asking God for a list of things. While it is important to come to him with our petitions, we must make sure we give him time to speak to us. This most commonly occurs through Sacred
Scripture and meditating on the Word. In this session, we will discuss how and why we read scripture as well as learn some practical tools in meditating with scriptures: Lectio Divina and Ignatian Gospel Meditation.

This series is meant to be an "apprenticeship" in prayer - you do it alongside a mentor / leader (in the case of doing it at home, likely a parent).
Theme Scripture: 1 KINGS 19:11-13
Then the LORD said: “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD;
the LORD will pass by.” There was a strong and violent wind rending the
mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD—but the LORD was not
in the wind; after the wind, an earthquake—but the LORD was not in the
earthquake; after the earthquake, fire—but the LORD was not in the fire;
after the fire, a light silent sound. When he heard this, Elijah hid his face
in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice
said to him, “Why are you here, Elijah?”

DAN TALKS ABOUT HOW IN PRAYER WE DON’T
HAVE TO PUSH ASIDE OUR ANXIETIES, EMOTIONS,
OR EVEN DESIRES. RATHER WE SHOULD CONFRONT
PRAYER WITH THE REALITY OF OUR OWN LIVES. DO
YOU FIND IT EASY OR DIFFICULT TO BRING THESE
THINGS (EMOTION, ANXIETY, DESIRES, ETC.) TO
GOD? *
WHY MIGHT PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD PUSH
THEIR PROBLEMS AWAY? *

YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A GOOD LISTENER? *
WHAT HELPS YOU TO FOCUS AND LISTEN TO THE
PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU? *
OUT OF ALL THINGS, WHY DO YOU THINK GOD, WHO IS
ALL-POWERFUL AND ALL-KNOWING, SPEAKS TO ELIJAH THROUGH A “TINY, WHISPERING SOUND”? *
MOST OFTEN, WE HEAR GOD WITH OUR
HEARTS, RATHER THAN OUR EARS. WHAT
DO YOU THINK THIS LOOKS LIKE? *
WHAT CAN YOU DO TO PRACTICE
LISTENING WITH YOUR HEART? *
Watch Video Segment 3 and answer the questions below.
WHAT MAKES SCRIPTURE SO IMPORTANT WHEN IT
COMES TO PRAYER? (see Hebrews 4:12)
HAVE YOU EVER ATTEMPTED TO READ
THE BIBLE BEFORE? WHAT WAS THAT
EXPERIENCE LIKE? DO YOU HAVE A BIBLE OF YOUR OWN?
Practical Application
Read 1 Kings 19:11-13 aloud slowly 3 times, pausing briefly and silently
between readings.

CONSIDER
Don’t say anything, just CONSIDER what God might be saying to you. If a word or phrase stands out to you, underline it in your Bible if you have one, or write it down if you don’t have your Bible with you. Don’t worry about why that word or phrase is standing out to you just yet.

RESOLVE
• HOW CAN YOU APPLY THAT WORD TO YOUR LIFE THIS WEEK?
Notice how we had so many different words and phrases stand out. God
is in a relationship with us, individually. He has something unique he wants
to speak to each of our hearts.
