In our catechesis do we aim to provide 'ready meals' or 'well stocked store cupboard'? Love the picture!

Funnily enough, it either ends up with very grumpy me saying 'well, I'm never shopping there again', or a strangely grace-filled experience as happened this summer,having chatted with the man on the fish counter (who happened to have Down's Syndrome)..... not quite Martin's 'Road to Damascus', but pretty close - certainly changed me. Am using both these blogs for discussion in the catechumenate - thanks.
