Not sure if this is something particular to our priest, but I thought I would ask!
Our priest has asked that we each write a reflection for him on our chosen readings, to help him in composing the homily. I have never done anything like this before and I'm not sure through what lens I should be reflecting. Am I reflecting on the application of the readings to our relationship? Am I reflecting on the broader theological / marital implications of the readings? I probably should have asked for further clarification, but I was embarrassed to ask since FI seemed to think it was pretty straightforward (although he can't figure out how to explain it to me). He was raised Catholic and attended Catholic school his entire life and has apparently done this sort of thing many times before; I am relatively new to the church and definitely have not! We are already far behind schedule on getting those reflections in, so I don't feel like I can go back to the priest at this point.
I'm trying to muddle through, but I'd appreciate clarification from anyone who has experience with this sort of thing....
