Description
Dwell: Blessed Conversations is a collected study book for you or your group.
It contains five different sessions on the Church’s teaching about how Jesus comes to dwell within us in and through the Blessed Sacrament.
Each session on the Eucharist has three parts inside it. They’re designed so that each part would be one meeting of your group. This collected study book has fifteen parts total.
What’s it all about?
The study addresses the deep question of who will satisfy my need to be known and loved. That answer is God, and in particular the gift of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
The five themes are pulled from the Catechism and each session is filled with Catechism teaching or papal encyclical or Saint Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologica. Each session offers Scripture for you to ponder and pray with as well as wisdom from the Saints. Our Faith is so rich and incredible and we want to learn more about it.
What does a single session look like?
+ Church teaching + brief explanations
+ Lectio divina Scripture pull
+ Reflection by one of our writers
+ Discussion + reflection questions
What’s in a reflection?
Our five writers explore a story from their life where they encountered Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
Who’s it for?
You, two girlfriends, or two hundred ladies ages 18+! The format is perfect for community groups of any size. You can read aloud a chapter together as a group, discuss the questions, read it ahead of time and journal about it, or ponder the Scripture verses using lectio divina.

Got this study for our local women’s community group and it’s such a gift! It’s really helping us dive deeper with each other and individually, as well as connect with the Eucharistic Heart of Christ. It’s also giving us language to how to be open to more profound graces as we encounter the Eucharist in our lives!

Praise God! So happy to hear this!

In error I was sent a copy of “Rooted” which I promptly returned by USPS on January 15.
Sad to say, I have given up on receiving my order.

I love all studies that BlessedIsShe provides and creates! As someone who is not a Catholic, but has been interested for years and drawn towards the faith, DWELL is a wonderful study and gives a great insight into beliefs of the Catholic Faith without being too complicated to someone who is not in the Catholic church- which is wonderful!

I love the layout and SPACE in this study. It lets you breathe and reflect visually if that makes sense, Nothing is crowded or crammed, my overactive brain, can just read and reflect, with lots of room to notate :). I am especially glad for the lined sections for reflection questions, plus there are different discussion questions. I cannot wait to dig into this with our group!
