This is a spiritual course for parochial groups and parishioners who want to live and strengthen their beliefs in everyday life. This volume offers material for 40 weeks of learning and is broken down into two main parts: "The Presence of God" and "Everyday Life and Faith." There is a Sunday text for every week - a spiritual impulse for the coming week - leading to the "Suggestions for Workdays." Short reports on personal experiences provide additional reflexion. At the end of every week stands an exchange of half an hours time with persons of ones choosing, the "practice group." Here, too, guidelines are provided. The materials are, for the most part, self-explanatory. Both professional and lay persons active in the parish can use them in their work as initiators, coordinators or moderators; the rest is learned by doing. And the result? The entire congregation gathers new strength to master tasks together. German text.
