What is FIAT Spirituality, continued
WHAT IS A FIAT CELL?
1) It is a gathering of Christians, (between six and twelve in number, though in
the beginning a minimum of three would suffice) who meet together once every
week or two weeks to pray, to share and to report on their apostolic outreach
during the past week. The meetings are to last about an hour and no more than an
hour and a half.
2) Prayer - Catholics use the FIAT Rosary which opens with this prayer: "Most
Holy Spirit - help us to relive in union with Mary, the joyful, sorrowful, and
glorious mysteries of Jesus. Amen." Others may choose to pray in their own way.
The group prays together with Mary before the Holy Spirit asking courage as did
the first apostles in the Upper Room.
3) Sharing - The leader then reads a short passage from Scripture or from a
spiritual book. Each person in turn comments on the word or line in the reading
that touched him or her the most.
4) Song - All stand to sing a spiritual hymn.
5) Report - In the final part of the meeting each promoter reports on his or her
apostolic activities performed since the last meeting. They might answer such
questions as these:
How did you minister to others?
Did you mention the love of God, the love of Jesus at anytime?
What was the reaction? How did you make Christ known and loved?
Did you experience joy these activities.
