Discussion Starters

  1. Monday—What is penance? What are some ways that you are tempted to do acts of penance?

  2. Tuesday—Is fasting bad? Why did the pharisees add fasts to the ones God gave his people? How is this similar to how they treated the Sabbath?

  3. Wednesday—Why didn’t Jesus simply address the question about whether it was lawful to pick grain on the Sabbath? What is the more important question?

  4. Thursday—In what way are you a torn garment or cracked wineskin? What do you need in order to be restored?
