Reflection Question 5: Contemporary society does not face many of us with such obvious persecution as the early christians experienced. Some writers suggest we are no longer faced with a ‘red’ (blood) martyrdom, but a ‘white’ (perseverance) martyrdom. What would a ‘modern’ synagouge or prison be? How do you experience christians being taunted, threatened, influenced away from Christ? What does it mean to ‘give testimony’ because of ‘my name’?

Reflection Question 5: Jewish people understood they had a special status of ‘chosen’ by God. They presumed this also meant they had a special entry permit ‘through the door’. ‘We ate and drank with you, you taught us!’ They are absolutely surprised with the possibility that other people, ‘sinners’, could get into heaven before them. ‘But I have listened to the Gospel stories on Sunday and have shared in the Eucharist’ could be a modern Catholic response. It is not enough to ‘be there’ on Sunday, we are called to ‘do something’ on Monday… to be a ‘sign’ of God’s forgiveness, welcome, shaping the world into becoming one family. What would you consider the Church needs to ‘do more of’? How could you be involved?
