Dear Partners in Ministry, There is a buzz around the offices of Loyola Press lately. While it has always been our mission to provide inspirational and valuable resources to all who seek to nurture a lived faith, this year we are especially proud of what Loyola Press is personally contributing to the resources available that ref lect the multicultural world we live in. Five hundred years ago, the goal of St. Ignatius Loyola was to “help souls.” Today, Loyola Press follows in the footsteps of St. Ignatius by helping people find God in all things and develop a deep friendship with Jesus Christ.

Finding God, our explicitly Ignatian faith formation program, always included a bilingual edition in the long-term plan. We are delighted to announce that Encontrando a Dios, the bilingual edition of Finding God for Grades 1–6 is now available. With gorgeous sacred art, multiple opportunities for contemplative prayer, and an awareness of children’s different learning styles, Finding God Bilingual provides a high quality and comprehensive faith formation curriculum in an engaging way to meet the needs of each parish. The Adaptive Confirmation Preparation Kit is the newest addition to the groundbreaking Adaptive Learning Kits. Following in the footsteps of the award-winning Adaptive Reconciliation Kit and Adaptive Eucharist Kit, the Adaptive Confirmation Preparation Kit helps those with special needs enter more fully into their faith by preparing them for the Sacrament of Confirmation and strengthening the bond to a lifelong faith. Additionally, each Adaptive Learning Kit is also available in Spanish, giving access to those with special needs to participate, learn, and grow in knowledge, faith, and discipleship. Take the voyage, leave the luggage! Voyages in English: Grammar and Writing is now available as a digital textbook for Grades 6, 7, and 8. Look for Voyages Online Assessments, available in 2014! As easy as a mouse-click, students can better manage their coursework and stay organized. They will continue to build successful grammar and writing skills and improve standardized test performances through rigorous, practice-filled lessons with the added convenience of online availability. We know that much of our success comes from listening to your stories and your feedback on our products in use. We promise to continue to strive for excellence in each of our products. I speak on behalf of everyone here at Loyola Press when I thank you for the privilege of accompanying you as you proclaim the reign of God. May God continue to bless your great work.

10–30 minutes

Ask: What do you see in this image? (Mary, birds, flowers, fruit) Explain that flowers and fruit often serve as symbols in art. Say: Mary is an important role model for us. When she said yes to God and agreed to become Jesus’ mother, she chose to help build up God’s kingdom. When we follow her example by saying yes to God, we also help build up God’s kingdom.

Art•i•facts In The Virgin Stella painted Mary as if she were in a garden filled with flowers and fruits that symbolize the meaning of who she is. Lilies of the valley symbolize her purity and purple violets symbolize her humility. The red rose reminds us of the sorrow Mary felt when witnessing Jesus’ Death. Pomegranates, as we see across the top of the painting, are often used in Christian art. This fruit is filled with bright red juice and many seeds. Many works show Jesus holding an open pomegranate, the visible seeds symbolizing Jesus’ Death and Resurrection.

For your convenience, the Children’s Book page is reproduced below.

Briefly introduce and discuss the artwork, using information from About the Artist and Artifacts.

Explain why we call Mary the Mother of the Church. State that Mary now lives in Heaven and shares in the glory of Christ’s Resurrection. Explain the Marian symbolism of the violet, lily of the valley, and hawthorn.

About the Artist Joseph Stella was born near Naples, Italy, in 1877. He moved to the United States when he was 18. As a young man, he planned to follow in his brother’s footsteps by becoming a physician. Stella, however, soon discovered that his true passion was the arts. He first worked as an illustrator, and then became known for his paintings. During much of his career, Stella focused on themes central to the Futurist movement. He was not, however, exclusively dedicated to this style. His works also include Surrealist paintings.

MATE R IALS

1 Begin

Name

Date

Invite children to reflect on the artwork and to pray a silent prayer thanking God for giving us Mary as an example of how to follow him.

2 Connect Have children turn to page 242 in their books. Read aloud the introduction and discuss the question. Invite volunteers to read aloud Mary, Mother of the Church. Ask: What did Jesus tell Mary and his beloved disciple, John, as he was dying on the cross? (to treat each other as mother and son) Say: When Jesus said this, Mary become the Mother of the Church. Ask: Where does Mary now live? (in Heaven) What does she want for us? (She wants us to be united in the Communion of Saints through our union with Christ.) Explain that the Communion of Saints is the community of all those who have been saved in Jesus Christ. Say: When we proclaim our belief in Jesus, we are united with all those who belong to the Communion of Saints.

The Virgin

Read aloud Mary’s Flowers. Say: Modesty means “to speak and act in an appropriate manner.” Ask: Why is this word a good description of Mary? (Possible answer: Rather than doing what she wanted, Mary chose to follow God’s plan.) Say: Humility is also a virtue. It is the opposite of being arrogant or proud. Mary is such an important role model for us that we traditionally devote the entire month of May to honoring her. Ask: What can we do to honor Mary? (Possible answers: pray to her, follow her example) Give children time to complete the activity. Ask children which flowers they have seen in their community.

Art Print 14 is an image of Mary. What can you do to follow Mary’s example of love and service?

IF TIME ALLOWS

Mary, Mother of the Church

If time allows, complete one or more of the activities below.

Jesus loved his mother Mary, the first disciple, very much. When he was dying on the cross, he told her and his beloved disciple, John, to treat each other as mother and son. This meant that Mary became the Mother of the Church. We are all her children. Mary now lives in Heaven, sharing in the glory of Jesus’ Resurrection. She wants us to be united in the Communion of Saints through our union with Christ.

Expression: Music Praise Mary in Song Distribute hymnals that include well-known Marian hymns, such as “Hail Mary, Gentle Woman,” “Immaculate Mary,” or “Sing of Mary.” Have small groups work together to list on a sheet of paper what the songs teach us about Mary. After giving children time to work, write on the board a collective list of what children suggest. Then sing one of the songs together.

Mary’s Flowers The flowers below have special meanings associated with Mary. The violet, known as Our Lady’s Modesty, is associated with her humility. Lily of the valley, known as Mary’s Tears, is a reminder of her sorrow at Jesus’ Death. The hawthorn is referred to as Mary’s flower of May.

Time: 10–15 minutes Materials: hymnals with well-known Marian hymns such as “Hail Mary, Gentle Woman,” “Immaculate Mary,” or “Sing of Mary”

Expression: Art Studio Service Bouquet After distributing art supplies, invite each child to make two or three paper flowers. Have children write on each flower something they can do to follow Mary’s example. Gather the completed flowers into a vase and use them to decorate your prayer center. Encourage children to complete the actions they wrote on their flowers. Conclude by praying together the Hail Mary. Time: 20–30 minutes Materials: art supplies, construction paper Violet

CATECHIST PREPARATION UNIT 2

Jesus, Our Lord and Savior Unit 2 focuses on how we can follow God’s way through Jesus’ example of love. In this unit children will learn the following concepts.

Jesus Is Faithful

Jesus Calls Us to Love

Children explore how Jesus invites us to be closer to God. In the parable of the banquet, Jesus taught that everyone is welcome in God’s kingdom. Jesus left us his Church to help us follow his example. We follow Jesus’ example by welcoming all people and by helping those who need special care. Jesus chose Peter to be the first leader of the Church.

SESSION 9

Jesus Cares for Us

Bulletin Board: Unit 2

Tradition has named Anne and Joachim the parents of Mary, and praises them for raising her to have strong faith and love for God. Saint CATECHIST PREPARATION Anne is the patron saint of mothers, especially those who are expecting babies, and Prayer in Unit 2 Saint Joachim is the patron saint of fathers. In the sessions of this second unit, continue using the established pattern and tone for prayer. After the opening prayer of petition and the closing prayer of gratitude, continue giving children time to add their own silent prayers. Guided reflection provides the opportunity to help children pray in silence. Children are also introduced to praying with

CATECHIST PREPARATION

The parable of the Good Shepherd teaches us about God’s loving care for every one of us. Jesus teaches us about the Good Shepherd who searched until he found his lost sheep. Today our bishops have the responsibility to show this care and concern for all God’s people.

Celebrating Advent

Catholic Social Teaching in Unit 2

In the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29–37), Jesus makes clear our responsibility to care for those in need. The Church articulates this responsibility in Catholic Social Teaching. Following are the themes of Catholic Social Teaching integrated into this unit.

Children learn the meaning of Advent, why we celebrate it, and explore how Advent is celebrated in our Church.

Knowing and Sharing Your Faith in Session 7

3-Minute Retreat Take a few moments before you prepare this session. Pause and be aware of God’s presence as you embark on this journey of teaching and learning. Luke 7:22 And he (Jesus) said to them in reply, “Go and tell John

Option for the Poor and Vulnerable In our world many people are very rich,Scripture while at the same time, many are extremely poor. As Catholics we are called to pay special attention to the needsquestioning of those who are poor. We can fol folLuke 7:18–22 shows John the Baptist lowJesus’ Jesus’identity. example by making a specific effort to defend the dignity of those who are poor and vulnerable and meet their immediate material needs. Isaiah 35:5 recounts the promise that is fulfilled Solidarity in Jesus. Solidarity is the attitude that leads Christians to share spiritual and material goods. Solidarity unites rich and poor, weak and strong, and helps build a society that recognizes that we live in an interdependent world. Tradition

Jesus told the followers of John the Baptist that, through him (Jesus), the blind see, the crippled walk, the deaf hear, lepers are cleansed, the dead are raised, and the poor hear the good news of God’s saving grace. Jesus’ life and actions testify that he is the Savior. There are many ways people can be blind, crippled, deaf, dead, unclean, or poor. Jesus calls us to live a life that gives testimony to the presence of God, who brings healing to the world.

Question In what ways am I in need of the healing grace of Jesus?

Prayer

Jesus is our teacher, exemplifying through word and deed how to be a loving and caring person. Jesus, a compassionate man, teaches us to be concerned for the sufferings of others and do what we can to alleviate suffering. Jesus, the man of solidarity, teaches us to identify with people in need. Jesus, the healer, teaches us to be reconcilers and promoters of physical, mental, and spiritual health. Jesus, the servant, shows us how to look out for the interests of others. The rescuer of the lost, Jesus teaches us to rescue, rather than judge, people. In obedience and total commitment to the work of his Father, Jesus shows us how to love.

Small Group Discussions If you have children with commun ication differences, you may wish to conduct the discussions in this session in small group settings. Children may feel more comfortable expressing themselves in small groups or with partners.

Call children’s attention to the prayer. Say: Let’s think about the people we love. Let us pray and ask God to help us care for the people around us. Have children pray along silently as you pray aloud. Say: Let’s take a moment to talk to God in our hearts. Allow 10 to 15 seconds for children to finish their silent prayers. Conclude by praying the Sign of the Cross.

EXPLORE Welcomed into the Church

In the Gospel of Matthew, the risen Jesus visited the apostles. Some of them could hardly believe that it was Jesus standing before them. Jesus reassured them and instructed them to go forth and make new disciples. He also sent them out to continue his mission by teaching others how to follow God’s commandments.

UNIT 2 • Session 7

Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to strengthen the faith of his followers. The grace of the Holy Spirit strengthens us through the Sacrament of Confirmation. When we receive the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist, we strengthen our union with Christ and his Church.

Then and now, Jesus’ disciples make up a universal Church, a community of believers that is open to everyone. We are welcomed into the universal Church at our Baptism.

Play “Two by Two” [CD 2, Track 9]. As children listen to the song, ask them to follow along, using the lyrics in the back of their books. After children listen, say: As members of the universal Church, Jesus sends us out into the world to share the Good News with everyone.

San Juan Bautista Vianney

Saint John Baptiste Vianney

San Juan Bautista Vianney nació en Francia en 1786. Gran parte de su niñez la pasó ayudando a su padre a cuidar del ganado. A los veinte años comenzó a estudiar para ser sacerdote. Como de niño no había ido mucho a la escuela, tenía dificultad con sus estudios. El latín, idioma que todo sacerdote debía saber, le resultaba muy difícil. Pero Juan era muy devoto e impresionaba a los demás con su bondad. Una de estas personas, el padre Balley, se hizo su amigo y lo ayudó a hacerse sacerdote.

John Baptiste Vianney was born in France in 1786. He spent much of his childhood helping care for his father’s livestock. John began studying for the priesthood when he was 20 years old. Because he had received little schooling as a child, he struggled as a student. John had a difficult time with Latin, which every priest needed to know. Yet John was very devout and impressed others with his goodness. One such person, Father Balley, befriended John and helped him become a priest.

En 1818 Juan se convirtió en el párroco de la iglesia de Ars, un pequeño pueblo de Francia. Juan se hizo famoso por la atención con que escuchaba a las personas. Miles de personas viajaron a Ars para celebrar con el padre Juan el sacramento de la Reconciliación. Aunque en ocasiones se debió de sentir exhausto, Juan nunca dejó de atender a nadie. Murió en 1859 y fue canonizado en 1925. San Juan Bautista Vianney es el patrón de los párrocos. Su fiesta es el 4 de agosto.

Ayuda del Espíritu Santo

Seguir el nuevo mandamiento

The Holy Spirit helps us follow Jesus’ commandment of love. When we are tempted, we can pray to the Holy Spirit for strength. The Holy Spirit helps us practice fortitude, the virtue that gives us the courage to follow Jesus, even when doing so is difficult. When you need help doing what is right, remember to pray to the Holy Spirit.

influences in his work. Berruguete spent most of his life in Spain and Italy, working primarily on panel paintings and frescoes. Art historians classify Berruguete as a transitional figure because he bridged the span between Gothic and Renaissance art.

Art•i•facts Saint Dominic of Guzman is filled with religious imagery. The halo around Saint Dominic’s head signifies that he is a holy person. The black and white clothing he is wearing is representative of the habit traditionally worn by Dominicans, the religious community he founded. His staff is topped with a cross, a traditional symbol of Christianity. The lilies symbolize the purity and truth of Christianity’s religious teachings.

(through the Sacraments of Initiation) To whom can we look for examples of how to follow Jesus? (the saints) What did Dominic believe was one of the best ways to help others grow in faith? (by sharing the Good News in both word and action) Explain that people share the Good News through both word and action when they tell others about Jesus and follow his example. What religious community did Dominic found? (Order of Preachers, Dominicans) What did many of the early members of the Dominicans do? (travel from city to city to preach the Good News) Explain that members of the Dominican community continue to preach the Gospel through various ministries including education and parish work.

This section helps catechists lead children through the Children’s Book page to deepen their understanding of the Art Print faith focus as it relates to the session.

Spanish instructions for the Fine Art Easels are in the Catechist Guide only.

Ask: What can we tell about Saint Dominic based on this image? (Possible answers: He was a holy person. He was a member of a religious community.) Explain that Dominic’s hair has been tonsured. Say: This hairstyle was historically worn by priests and monks as a symbol of their vocation, similar to the special collar they wear today. This was one way for priests and monks to show that they were Jesus’ followers. Ask: How can we show others that we are Jesus’ followers? (Possible answers: practice the Beatitudes, follow Jesus’ new commandment, go to Mass) Invite children to reflect on the artwork and to pray a silent prayer asking Jesus for the strength to preach his Good News to others.

Art Print 11 is an image of Saint Dominic, who has given us an example of how to follow Jesus. Who in your life has helped you follow Jesus?

If time allows, complete one or more of the activities below.

Expression: Music

Saint Dominic

Open Your Ears Play a song about listening to God’s Word such as “Open Your Ears, O Faithful People” [[Finding Finding God Grade 4 CD 2, Track 5]. As the song plays, ask children to reflect on how the words of the song help people understand the Good News. After listening, have small groups work together to write another verse for the song. Have groups sing their new verses for one another.

We are welcomed into the Church, the Body of Christ, through the Sacraments of Initiation. As members of this Body, we can look to the saints for examples of how to follow Jesus. Saint Dominic is one such saint. Dominic, who was born in Spain in 1170, believed that one of the best ways to help others grow in faith was by sharing the Good News through both word and action.

These instruction pages are reproduced in the back of this Catechist Guide for your convenience.

Time: 20–30 minutes Materials: CD player, song about listening to God’s Word such as “Open Your Ears, O Faithful People” [Finding God Grade 4 CD 2, Track 5]

Expression: Art Studio

He became a preacher and founded a new religious community called the Order of Preachers. Many early members of this community, often called Dominicans, traveled from city to city to preach the Good News. They depended on the kindness of others for food and shelter.

Following Jesus in Word and Action Give pairs of children time to brainstorm ways to follow Jesus’ example. Distribute art supplies. Then ask children to draw pictures of themselves following Jesus in word and action. Encourage children to include a caption that explains what they are doing. Display children’s finished work.

Before he died in 1221, Dominic had established houses of his new religious order in Spain, France, and Italy. The priests, religious brothers and sisters, and laity who make up the Order of Preachers continue to preach the Gospel today.

Time: 30–45 minutes Materials: art supplies

A Good Example

Expression: Using Imagination in Prayer

Write one way that you can follow Jesus’ example by helping others grow in their faith.

Dominic’s Example for All Give children time to reflect on the Art Print. Ask children to imagine that they are with Saint Dominic and his companions as they travel from city to city, preaching the Good News. Ask: What do you hear in your travels? What do you see? What do you do to teach others about Jesus? After giving children time to pray, say: Take a moment to pray a silent prayer thanking God for the opportunity to share the Good News with others.

community.

• Our faith turns us to God, who gave us

all that we have.

• God made us in his likeness. He loves

us. We, in turn, should love ourselves and others. • God sent Jesus so we would know his love; the Father and Son sent the Holy Spirit. • Catholic Social Teaching helps us respond to God’s love by taking care of creation and loving others.

CONNECT • Our faith in the Trinity helps us respond in faith to the needs of others. • God, who is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, gave us all that we have.

Explain that the word brand comes from an Old English word that means “an identifying mark made by burning.” Discuss how a brand represents the identifiable mark of a company. Have young people name popular brands of clothing, soft drinks, and sports gear. Discuss logos, taglines, and what brands represent to the public. Explain that when we mark ourselves with the Sign of the Cross, we are, in a sense, “branding” ourselves and expressing that we belong to God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Organize young people into small groups. Ask each group to research the answers to the following questions you write on the board: How can you identify a Catholic parish? How does your parish reflect Christian beliefs? What three words describe the best parts? Is your parish named after a holy event or a saint? If so, how is that event or saint honored? Ask each group to develop a brand for your parish, including a logo, a tagline, and a description that answers these questions. Have groups display their work on poster board and present it to the group.

SESSION 2

Three Persons in One God

Jesus Is the Answer to a Promise

The Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God. The Bible tells us that John the Baptist announced the coming of Jesus, the Messiah, a Savior promised to God’s people. The message of Jesus’ life, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension is shared with us through the Gospels. Young people learn that we can meditate on the Word of God as a form of prayer.

SESSION 3

SESSION 4

Jesus Reveals God to Us

Questions In what ways do I live out God’s selfless love for me in my caring for others? When has someone shared an act of selfless love with me? Recall the experience and say a silent prayer for that person.

UNIT SAINT

Saint Augustine Saint Augustine took time to discover that Christianity is the one true faith. He eventually responded with love for God and for others. As a result of his abiding faith, Saint Augustine became one of the great leaders of the early Church.

Consider how Scripture and Tradition can deepen your understanding of session content.

Genesis 1:26–31 tells us that God made us in his likeness, that he gave us dominion over the earth and the creatures on it, and that God found his creation to be good. Luke 9:23 reminds us to take up Jesus’ cross daily and to follow him.

Tradition God has made the Trinity known to us by revealing himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As the Trinity, the Three Persons are inseparable in what they are and what they do. The word Person is used to designate the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as really distinct from one another. The word relation is used to designate that their distinction lies in the relationship of each to the other two. When the Father sends his Word, he always sends his breath, the Spirit. In their joint mission, the Son and the Holy Spirit are distinct but inseparable. Christ is the one who is seen, the visible image of the invisible God, but the Spirit is the one who reveals him.

Catholic Social Teaching Concluding Prayer

Speak to God, using the words of this prayer or your own. Triune God, your love for us is beyond our ability to comprehend. May I grow in my desire to share your love with the people I meet today.

In this session, all seven themes of Catholic Social Teaching are introduced. See page 1b for explanations of these themes.

Window on the Catechism The mystery of the Trinity is described in CCC 232–260.

General Directory for Catechesis The Trinitarian nature of the Gospel message is described in GDC 99 and 100.

Jesus Calls Us to Say Yes

UNIT 1 • Session 1

Throughout Scripture, many people say yes to God. But Mary, the Mother of God, holds a special place in the minds and hearts of Catholics because she said yes to God when she was asked to be the Mother of Jesus. Mary lives wholly and fully in the grace of God. We, too, receive God’s grace in the forms of sanctifying and actual grace.

CATECHIST PREPARATION

SESSION 5

Prayer in Unit 1

TOGETHER as One Parish

In each session of Unit 1, establish the pattern and tone for prayer. Young people offer prayers of petition and thanksgiving as well as participate in meditations and guided reflections. Young people also pray the Daily Examen, a form of Ignatian prayer.

Catholic Social Teaching in Unit 1 In the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:29–37), Jesus makes clear our responsibility to care for those in need. The Church articulates this responsibility in Catholic Social Teaching. The following themes of Catholic Social Teaching are integrated into this unit. Call to Family, Community, and Participation Participation in family and community is central to our faith and to a healthy society. Families and communities must be supported and strengthened through active participation. Care for God’s Creation We have a responsibility to care for God’s creation. We are called to make moral and ethical choices that protect the ecological balance of creation both locally and worldwide. The Dignity of Work and the Rights of Workers The Catholic Church teaches us to respect basic rights of workers: the right to productive work, to fair wages, to private property, to organize and join unions, and to pursue economic opportunity. Catholics believe that the economy is meant to serve people.

Option for the Poor and Vulnerable As Catholics, we are called to follow Jesus’ example by making a specific effort to defend and promote the dignity of the poor and vulnerable and meet their immediate needs. Rights and Responsibilities The Catholic Church teaches that every person has a right to live as well as the right to things required for human decency. As Catholics, it is our responsibility to protect fundamental human rights.

To celebrate the beginning of a new year of faith formation, add an insert to your parish bulletin that introduces the religious education team in one combined list, listing catechists’ names from both your religious education program and Catholic school. Introduce the list by sharing common goals for young people who participate in the programs.

The Poor and Vulnerable

Solidarity Solidarity is the attitude that leads Christians to share spiritual and material goods. Solidarity unites rich and poor, weak and strong, and helps create a society that recognizes that we live in an interdependent world.

Faith in Action In Unit 1, young people are invited to meet the needs of people who are poor and vulnerable by developing and implementing the following service projects: collecting and distributing food and providing basic necessities for people who are homeless. Alternative service-project ideas also appear on the last page of each session in this guide.

Celebrating Ordinary Time

In this session, young people learn the meaning of Ordinary Time, explore how Ordinary Time is celebrated in our Church, and learn that Ordinary Time is a time to grow as a disciple of Christ and deepen our commitment to him.

Religious Education with the Parochial School

Literature Opportunity Mr. Blue by Myles Connelly You might wish to have young people read this novel about J. Blue, a mysterious and fascinating man who spends his inherited wealth as soon as he gets it and ends up having to live in a packing box on a New York City rooftop. This beloved novel about a 20th century Saint Francis figure is set in the 1920s.

UNIT 1

FAITH FORMATION

Life and Dignity of the Human Person The Catholic Church teaches us that all human life is sacred and that all people must be treated with dignity. As Catholics, we strive to respect and value people over material goods. The foundation of our moral vision is our belief in the life and the dignity of the human person.

JUST FOR SCHOOLS Every unit includes a Catholic Social Teaching research project and a bulletin-board unit activity that are perfect for the Catholic school setting.

God is a model of selfless love for us. There was no need for God to create our planet or the creatures that inhabit it. Creation was an act of selfless love. There was no need for God to send his only Son to save us. It was an act of selfless love. As we learn about God’s love, we draw closer to God and the mystery of the Trinity. God has lavished us with love in the Persons of the Son and the Spirit, who in turn nurture in us the desire to do the same for others.

In this session, young people learn that the Trinity is the core mystery of the Catholic faith. As Catholics, we are called to respond to God’s love in important ways, such as through prayer, living out the themes of Catholic Social Teaching, and living as disciples for Jesus in the world.

The genealogy of Jesus in the Old and New Testaments reveals that God worked through Jesus’ ancestors to prepare for the Salvation that Jesus brought to humanity. As Catholics, we believe Jesus himself fulfills the Revelation of God found in the Old Testament. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God, a God for all people, and a God who forgives our sins and invites us into his kingdom.

Reflection

Unit 1 focuses on the Trinity and the core Catholic belief that Jesus is the Savior, the fulfillment of God’s promise to his people. In this unit, young people will learn the following concepts.

Knowing and Sharing Your Faith in Session 1 Scripture

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.”

UNIT 1

CATECHETICAL BACKGROUND Background information in Scripture, Tradition, Catholic Social Teaching, and prayer is provided for catechists and teachers of all experience levels.

Before you prepare the session, pause and be still. Take three deep breaths and be aware of the loving presence of God, who is with you on this journey.

Understand that Jesus wants us to be close to him. Explain that by showing friendship to others, we are showing love for Jesus. Identify the qualities of a friend.

About the Artist Winslow Homer (1836–1910) was a self-taught painter, illustrator, and printmaker. A significant figure in American painting, Homer often used landscapes, water, and nature as his subjects. Toward the latter half of his life, Homer embraced solitude and privacy. During this time his work largely focused on man’s relationship with the sea. The U.S. Postal Service has issued two stamps commemorating Homer: Breezing Up in 1962 and Boys in a Pasture in 2010.

CATECHIST DIRECTIONS

Faith Focus: Jesus wants to be our friend.

Art·i·facts Boys in a Pasture is an oil painting done on canvas. Painted in 1874, the piece depicts two boys relaxing in a field. This image, like so many of Homer’s works, shows people in a natural state, relaxing, working, and going about their daily lives. The painting is part of the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.

▶ crayons or markers Display the Art Print. Briefly introduce and discuss ▶ scissors the artwork, using information from About the ▶ glue or tape Artist and Artifacts. Say: Do the boys seem nervous around each other, or do they seem comfortable? TIME (comfortable) How can you tell? (They are sitting close 10–30 minutes to each other. They look relaxed.) Point out that the boys are not talking, but simply sharing each other’s company. Say: When we are with friends, we can be ourselves and feel loved. This is how Jesus wants us to be with him. Like the boys, Jesus wants us to know that he is close by our side and that we can talk to him anytime—or we can be with him quietly in our thoughts, without using words at all.

Invite children to reflect on the artwork and pray silently, thanking Jesus for giving us the gift of friends. After the prayer, say: Let’s talk about what it means to be a good friend and show our love for Jesus.

2 Connect Ask volunteers to pantomime the last time they played with a friend. Encourage the class to guess the activity. Distribute the blackline master and discuss the opening question. Read aloud Jesus Calls Us to Be Friends. On the board write Friends. Under it, list qualities and behaviors of friends. Have the children help make this list. (Possible answers: kind, fun, good sharers, funny, good listeners) Say: God gives us friends because he loves us. Read aloud the directions under Friendship Flower. Have children work independently. Encourage them to look at the board for ideas if needed. Display the finished flowers on a class bulletin board. I F T I M E A L LOW S

Family Feature Mary the Parent There are two things we should always remember about Mary. First, think of how intimately she lived with God, whom she carried in her womb. She continues to live in intimate love with her son in heaven. No one knows Jesus better than his mother. We should also remem ber that Mary was and is a parent. Mary gave birth to Jesus, fed him, dressed him, raised him, walked and talked with him. She did what all parents do, and she did it very well. In this Family Feature, we will talk about how we as parents can learn from Mary, the parent.

Moses climbed the mountain to get a closer look. When he was near the bush, God spoke to him. God told him to take his sandals off. Moses did as he was told. He knew that he was standing on holy ground. He was in God’s presence. God then sent Moses to rescue the people of Israel from Egypt.

The people of Israel lived in Egypt for a very long time. This was not a happy time for them. Day after day, they worked with little food and little rest. They were slaves, and they wanted to be free. They prayed to God for help. God chose Moses to help free them. The Bible tells us about the day that God called Moses. Moses was busy taking care of his sheep on the mountainside. When he looked up, he noticed something strange. A bush was on fire, but it was not burning up.

Catholic Fact The Church celebrates seven sacraments, which are divided into three categories. The Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist) form the foundatio n of every Christian life. The Sacraments of Healing (Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick) celebrate the healing power of Jesus. The Sacraments at the Service of Communion (Matrimony, Holy Orders) help members serve the community.

Help your child come to better self-awareness by discussin g your own motivations for decisions you made.

Have a gentle conversation after your child has made a bad choice, to help you both understand the child’s motives better. “What were you hoping would happen?” is a way to unearth motives that might otherwis e remain murky. As your child prepares for bed, pause together for a brief moment in silence so that each of you can listen inside to what God might be trying to tell you. Ask your child to consider how he or she feels, what thoughts are stuck in his or her head. Spend a few minutes praying for the grace to know and follow God’s will.

STEP

God promised to send a savior who would live among us and set us free from the effects of sin. Work your way through the fourstep process with your child to learn how God kept his promise by sending his Son. Jesus continues to be present to us through the sacraments.

3-Minute Family Retre at

Gather in a comfortable place. Ask all present to stand and take three slow, deep breaths. When all are ready, invite them to have a seat and close their eyes. Slowly read aloud the following meditation: Remember a time when you were really nervous. Or you had something on your mind. Or you felt scared. Whateve r it was, it was too big to handle on your own. Whom did you go to for help? Whom do you trust when you need to talk? Who is the person you can count on most when you need something?

I had a particularly stressful day at work. When I went home that night, I was short-tempered with my son. When I became aware of how I was acting, it forced me to sit down with him, explain to him what was going on, and admit that sometimes when we are hurt, we strike out at those around us— even those we love the most. It opened up a great dialogue about some frustrations he was experienc ing at school with a group of friends.

When asked, “Why did you do that?” it’s not uncomm on for a child to respond, “I don’t know.” And the fact is, the child is likely telling the truth. It takes a while to acquire the ability to know why we do what we do. Parents can do a lot to help their child come to a better understanding of his or her behavior by focusing on self-awareness. When children are young, fact and fantasy, reality and imagination often blur. As children grow, their capacity to understand their own behavio r and their motives increase s. If they grow up in an atmosphere that is both attentive and nurturin g, their self-awareness will naturally expand. Here are some ways to help that happen:

Pause for

Pause for a moment. In the same way you trusted that person to love you and help you, you can trust God to love you and help you. God loves us even when we do something wrong. When we sin, we can go to him, too, and have a friendly conversa tion. God even sent his Son, Jesus, to be with us. Open your eyes, and we’ll talk more about how Jesus is always with us.

Let’s imagine . . .

. . . we are going on a trip to visit friends. We arrive at a very big airport in a very big city, and we don’t know how to get to our friends’ house— or anywhere else, for that matter. But we aren’t worried. Our friends promised to meet us at the airport and to bring a map to show us the way. We know our friends aren’t going to leave us stranded. They are going to be our guides, and they won’t let us down. Jesus is also our friend, and he has promised to show us the way too. We even have a

map. The sacraments are like our directions. They remind us of God’s love, they teach us how to live, and they give us the grace to live good lives. Let’s read a little more about our guide, Jesus. Turn to pages 12–13 in your child’s book and read aloud the Scripture story “Jesus, Our Savior.” This offers a brief summary of Jesus’ life based on the Gospel of Matthew. Next, take turns asking each other the following questions and,

if your child has not done so already, complete the sticker activity: ■

An angel told Joseph to name the baby Jesus. What does Jesus mean? (God saves.) What did Jesus teach? (He taught people how much God loves them and how to be friends with him.)

How did people react to Jesus’ teaching? (They turned away. They had him arrested. )

Actions Speak Louder Christian Service Than Words

Scripture and You Making moral decisions is never easy. The Ten Commandments give us directions—“Keep the Lord’s day holy,” “Do not kill,” “Do not steal,” and others. The Beatitudes are a bit different. They are not so much a description of what we should do; rather, they are examples of whom we should be, not just as individuals, but as members of a community for whom the Kingdom of God is both a promise and a present reality. God wants us to be happy, and following the Beatitudes will help us find happiness. God made us with the desire for happiness so that we would be drawn to him, the one who can make us completely happy.

Called to Be Free

Each beatitude begins with the Greek word makarios, which can be translated as “happy.” However, because the Beatitudes are about the happiness that comes from drawing nearer to the Kingdom of God, “blessed” is the best translation. The happiness we are called to cannot be found in riches, fame, or any human achievement; it can only come from trusting God. The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount describe the path that leads to true happiness. Sustained by the Holy Spirit, we walk that path, step by step, in our everyday actions.

REFLECT ING ON GOD’S WORD Relax your body and calm your mind. Think about times you have found it difficult to do what you know you should do. Think about Jesus’ words of blessing in the Beatitudes. Ask him for help in your difficult times.

Jesus tells us that when we are faced with a difficult choice, we can find help in the Beatitudes and the Ten Commandments. The Beatitudes begin the Sermon on the Mount, the first of five teaching sections in Matthew’s Gospel. In this sermon, Jesus gives his new interpretation of many of the laws in the five books of the Torah, which were given to the people by Moses. Jesus calls his followers to a new way of living that moves beyond the Ten Commandm ents, the core of the law. With the Beatitudes, Jesus is offering us a new way of life. If we live according to the Beatitudes , we will begin to experience the Kingdom of God.

But since he must return to the Father, Focusing he sends us on Chapter 1 another one, the Holy Spirit.

The mission of has Jesus andus. the

Reflecting Before the beginning of time, the Spirit of God, ruach, already hung over the void: “and the earth was without form or shape, with darkness over the abyss and a mighty wind sweeping over the waters.” (Genesis 1:2) The Creator’s handiwork reached its pinnacle in Adam. Ruach, God’s breath, quickened clay with human life. “[T]hen the LORD God formed the man out of the dust of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” (Genesis 2:7) From then on, God’s Spirit was active in the lives of God’s chosen ones.

Holy Spirit is inseparable. Whenever As youngGod people explore the meaning of their baptismal name or search for a new sends his Son, he always sends his for Spirit. name Confirmation, they will read about the saints. Centuries of saints have

God the Father sent the Holy Spirit to reveal to the world that Jesus was the Son of God. Jesus promised that he would send the Holy Spirit to his followers. “. . . [W]hoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12)

fulfilled their baptismal call, not only by living the faith, but by dying for the faith as Scripture for Further Reflection well. Realizing their need for the Spirit, the saints were open to his inspiration, fired by Numbers 11:25 his love, and strengthened by his grace to love others. By our Baptism we share in the John 14:16 holiness of God and in Christ’s mission. We are called to share God’s love, which was John 14:26 poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Acts of the Apostles 1:8 Romans 5:5 Galatians 5:1

We receive the Holy Spirit in Baptism. Then in Confirmation the Spirit is strengthened in us. He comes to strengthen in us the faith, hope, and love infused by Baptism. His presence enables us to follow Christ more closely. Ideally the entire parish community seeks renewal in the Spirit each time candidates are confirmed. It is an important time of rediscovery of Christ as Savior and the Holy Spirit as Sanctifier through prayer and the Scriptures. It is a happy time of greater witness to Christ and more generous service to neighbor. Indeed, it is a time of metanoia, a time of conversion, when the entire faith community joins together and pleads:

The prayer in this chapter focuses on the Holy Spirit, the Advocate sent by God to guide us and renew us in Confirmation.

Body the life of Christ is poured into the believers who, through the sacraments, are united in a hidden and real way to Christ who suffered and was glorified. (6) Through Baptism we are formed in the likeness of Christ: ‘For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body.’ (1 Corinthians 12:13) In this sacred rite a oneness with Christ’s death and resurrection is both symbolized and brought about: ‘For we were buried with Him by means of Baptism into death,’ and if ‘we have been united with Him in the likeness of His death, we shall be so in the likeness of His resurrection also.’ (Romans 6:15) Really partaking of the body of the Lord in the breaking of the Eucharistic bread, we are taken up into communion with Him and with one another.”

Catholic Social Teaching Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the seven themes.

Jesús señala que esta es una seguridad falsa; no es la riqueza, sino la bondad de Dios la que asegura la salvación. Al preguntarle quién podía salvarse, Jesús explicó a sus discípulos:

Journal My Confirmation Journal At the Sacrament of Confirmation, students publicly declare their Catholic Christian beliefs, yet each young person likely has many private thoughts about faith throughout the Confirmation process. My Confirmation Journal offers young people a secure place in which to record personal ref lections about their spiritual growth. Each journal chapter corresponds loosely to a chapter in the Young People’s Book; thoughtprovoking questions, works of fine art, Scripture passages, and more inspire each young person to express the uniqueness of his or her maturing faith through writing, drawing, ref lecting, and praying.

Meanwhile Dad and the parents sat in the dining room, sipping coffee and telling stories—sometimes laughing, sometimes with eyes brimming with tears.

SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION

Back when I was a kid, my dad taught a religious education class for eighth grade boys. They were a rowdy bunch, and Dad tried every way he could to reach them. When Advent came, our parish ran a food -and-toy drive for people in need. Dad made this his group’s number–one priority and became a cheerleader for bringing in canned goods, condiments, cleaning supplies, games, and toys. The boys responded with surprising generosity. On a snowy day in December, I joined my dad, a few other adults, and his class of rowdies to help deliver shopping bags of food and boxes of home supplies and toys to half a dozen families in a parish across town.

For thousands of years people, have wondered what Heaven is like, and there are plenty of jokes about people arriving at the “pearly gates.” But it’s important to realize that when we pray “Our Father, who art in heaven,” this biblical expression does not refer to a particular place, but a way of being. It refers to God’s way of being and his invitation to us to live that way too. This way of being encompasses many elements, including taking on the vision of God, participation in divine nature, eternal life,

humble and contrite.

life lesson | THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE . . . Jesus would often talk about the Kingdom of Heaven, describing it as a banquet, a wedding feast, a mustard seed, or a treasure hidden in a field. When I hear Jesus use analogies and stories to tell spiritual truths, it often evokes a story in me. Here’s a story of how I got a glimpse of what that kingdom might be like.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans.” John 14:15–18

Leader: God sends us the Advocate to help guide us. The Holy Spirit is always present to help us in our faith. With faith-filled hearts, let us pray and reflect.

Leader: Together we pray to the Holy Spirit for guidance and grace.

Líder: Dios nos envía al Defensor para que nos ayude y nos guíe. El Espíritu Santo está siempre presente para ayudarno s en nuestra fe. Con los corazones llenos de fe, recemos y reflexionemos.

All: O God, by the light of the Holy Spirit you have taught the hearts of your faithful. In the same Spirit, help us to know what is truly right and always to rejoice in your consolation. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

Living Our Faith As believers in Jesus Christ, we are called to a new life and to make moral choices that keep us united with God. With the help and grace of the Holy Spirit, we can choose ways to act to remain friends with God, to help other people, and to fulfill our prophetic mission to be witnesses to Christ in all circumstances and at the very heart of the human community.

Líder: En el sacramen to de la Confirma ción el Espíritu está con nosotros de una manera especial. El Espíritu renueva la faz de la tierra y nos renueva a nosotros en la Confirma ción. Todos: Dios de amor, tú continúa s nutriend o nuestras almas. Gracias por enviarno s al Espíritu Santo para fortalece r nuestros corazones llenos de fe. Amén.

Leader: In the Sacrament of Confirmation, the Spirit is with us in a special way. The Spirit renews the face of the earth and renews us in Confirmation.

Young People’s Book Centered on the Creed, the Sacraments, the Moral Life, and Prayer—the four pillars of the Catechism—the Called to Be Catholic Young People’s Book provides a solid introduction to the key teachings of the Catholic faith while taking into account the different learning styles of students. Through the Young People’s Book, adolescents acquire the knowledge needed to understand their faith, participate in activities to live their faith, and ultimately come to love their faith as they grow in their relationship with God.

THE CHURCH

CHAPTER

What Is the Church?

One Body, One

The Church Is One There’s only one Church because there’s only one Christ. That means that the Body of Christ on earth is one body. There are more than a billion Catholics in the world. What does it mean to say that we’re “one”? The epistle to the Ephesians puts it this way: “one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:5–6) We’re united in four ways.

The Four Marks What is your family like? You might say things like, “We are loud,” “We’re outdoorsy,” “Cooking together is our thing,” or “We like puzzles.” Let’s ask the same thing about our family, the Church. What’s the Church like? A good place to start is something we say every time we pray the Nicene Creed: “I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.” These four adjectives are called the four Marks of the Church. Just as your own family is not one adjective over another, the Church is not all one thing. The four Marks of the Church are the foundation from where we begin to recognize ourselves as Catholics.

You are many things at once: a son or daughter, sibling, friend, classmate, teammate, athlete, student.

The Church is a living body. The Church is the People of God. We’re not saved as individuals; we’re saved together, as the people whom God loves. Original Sin separated the whole human race from God. Jesus redeems the whole human race as a people.

• One Baptism. We’re all baptized into new life in Christ in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

The Church is also the Body of Christ on earth, bringing love and healing to the world. Jesus is the head; we are the hands and feet and eyes and ears and every other part of the body. The institutional Church is simply the way our family of faith is organized.

• One faith. We believe the same things about God, Salvation, the Church, and the life to come. This is the faith received from the Apostles and summarized in the Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds.

Each of these titles means you belong to a community.

• One worship. We celebrate the same Mass and the same sacraments.

communities mean to you?

• •

Sadly, the unity of Christians isn’t perfect. The issues dividing Christians involve worship, church government, and beliefs. Orthodox and Protestant Christians, for example, do not accept the authority of the pope. Protestants differ from Catholics (and the Orthodox) in their view of the priesthood, worship and sacraments, and the role of Mary and the saints in the life of the Church. These divisions mean

• • Which of these ways do you enjoy the most? Why?

“In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.” –John 14:2–3

RELIGION READINESS

Madonna (love), 2010, acrylic on canvas, Laura James.

Saints come in every size, shape, and race. Among them are teenagers, married people, monks, kings, soldiers, and school teachers. Saints come from every culture, continent, and century. Some were “saintly” from an early age; some were steadfast sinners who experienced a conversion. Some became famous; some were obscure. What each saint has in common is that each found his or her own way to be closer to God. You can be a saint in your own way too. We can ask for the saints’ help and guidance any time. They are part of our family of faith. They are closer to God than we are and they

One saint in Heaven stands above all others— Mary, Jesus’ mother. We revere her because she was closer to Jesus than any other person could ever be on this earth. Jesus honored her by taking her to Heaven, body and soul, to be with him.

Why Mary Is Special It’s easy to feel close to Mary. She’s an ordinary woman, yet she became the Mother of God. God invited Mary to become the mother of Jesus, but she didn’t have to do it. She had a choice. Mary was confident that God would be with her so she said yes to his invitation. In this, Mary is our model. Jesus invites each of

REACH OUT

The Church is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. How is the Church one? The Church has one baptism, one faith, one worship, and one government.

Venerable Pierre Toussaint was born in Haiti in 1766 and worked as a slave for a prominent family. When the family moved to New York, Pierre went with them and was made a hairdresser’s apprentice. Pierre soon earned his freedom and his own money. He continued to care for the family he worked for when his master died. Pierre contributed all his money to several charities, including a Catholic orphanage. Pierre was known for his humility and compassion for all people, regardless of status.

How can the saints help us? We learn from the saints’ example. They show us that there are many ways to holiness. They pray for us.

1. Research your patron saint or the saint on whose feast day you were born. What makes that saint holy? 2. Ask your friends and family about their favorite saints and why they like these saints.

REFLECT As a Catholic, you belong to the community of the Church. What is expected of you, and what do you expect from the Church?

Why is Mary especially worthy of our devotion? Mary shows us how to say yes and to follow Jesus in difficult circumstances. God preserved Mary from Original Sin. She is the mother of Jesus and the mother of God. When her time on earth was over, God assumed her into Heaven. She is the mother of the Church and the mother of every Christian.

Mary, my mother, I ask you to watch over me. Protect me. Pray for me. Remember me to your Son, Jesus. Thank you for your guidance. Amen

The four Marks of the Church show us how the Church is one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. However, the Church is one community under God. We can learn how to live as part of this community through the examples of the saints. Mary, Jesus’ mother, showed us how to say yes to Jesus and turn to God for guidance.

What are the four Marks of the Church?

List some of the qualities you think a saintly person would have.

FAITH SUMMARY

REMEMBER

The Church believes that when her time on earth was complete, Mary was assumed into Heaven, body and soul, where she joined her Son, Jesus. This is called the Assumption of Mary. This is another unique privilege that God gave to Mary because of her role as the mother of the Savior.

REFLECT: Prayer services featuring Scripture from the beginning of the chapter guide young people into prayer.

summary

WITNESS: Venerable Pierre Toussaint

MY TURN: Saintly Traits

The sprinkling of holy water recalls the Sacrament of Baptism. When we make the Sign of the Cross with holy water, we are praising the Trinity. The holy water in the baptismal font and in the receptacles at the church entryways are blessed during the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday.

Holy can mean perfect in goodness and righteousness. This brings up a good question: how can a Church full of sinners be “holy”? It’s like a joke by the famous 20th-century comedian Groucho Marx: “I refuse to join any club that would have me for a member.”

EXPLORE: Scripture introduces the core chapter content.

The Church believes that Mary, along with Jesus, was the only human being to be born free of Original Sin. God honored Mary in this special way to prepare her to become the mother of the Savior. This honor is known as the Immaculate Conception. Christians have believed in Mary’s Immaculate Conception since the earliest days of the Church.

The Church says that Mary is our mother as well as Jesus’ mother. On the cross, Jesus pointed to Mary and said to his disciple John, “Behold, your mother.” (John 19:27) The Church understands this to mean that Jesus entrusted the entire Church to Mary. Since we are the Church, Mary is our mother, and we can confidently call on her to intercede for us.

The Church Is Holy

family

Saints bring us closer to Christ. We can look to the saints as examples of how to live Jesus’ message—how the saints treated other people, how they handled conflict, how they made decisions. The lives of the saints point toward Jesus’ way.

us to follow him. Doing this requires courage because we don’t know what the future holds, but we can do it because we have confidence in God. Mary showed us how to say yes.

Even though Christians are divided over important questions, there’s a real unity among us. We’re all baptized into the new life of Christ, and one Baptism joins us together into the one People of God, even if the unity is incomplete. All Christians believe that Jesus established one Church.

family

Being a good Catholic isn’t simply a matter of going to Mass more often or spending more time in church-related activities. God is present everywhere in the world—in your schoolwork, the places you go, your friends and family. There are many ways to love God. The key to being more spiritual is learning to recognize the presence of God in all things.

The word church means many things: a building where we attend Mass, a religious service whereby we practice our faith, and the Roman Catholic organization under the leadership of the pope and the bishops. The Church includes all these things, but the heart of the Church that Jesus founded is something else. The word Church translates to “those who are called.” The Christian Church is the people whom Christ has called to be with him personally. Scripture describes the Church in personal terms. It’s a family, a people, the body of Christ.

that we also should take to heart, for one of the Marks of the Church is that it is apostolic. In other words, what was said to the Apostles was also meant for us. Near the end of the discourse, Jesus repeats the words: “Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” (John 14:27) The last words of Jesus in this chapter are “Get up, let us go.” (John 14:31) This may be Jesus’ call to action for his Church today.

Focusing on Chapter 4

This chapter focuses on the Church—what it is, what characterizes it, and who best mod living faithfully to the Church’s teaching. Too often the word Church conjures up an image of buildings—majestic cathedrals, schools, parish halls. What we want the young people to understand is that the Church living thing; it is the People of God. They are the Church. There are certain identifying characteristics by which we know the Church. It is one; has one Baptism, one faith, one worship, and one leadership. It is holy; the Church is the Body of Christ and Christ is holy. It is catholic; it is universal in scope—all are invited a are welcome. It is apostolic; it traces its origins and leadership back to the Apostles. The saints are models for Church members today. Saints are not extraordinary people They are ordinary people who were extraordinary in following the example of Jesus. Encourage the young people to read about the saints, especially those who were around age when they chose to cooperate with grace and do great things for God. Foremost amo the saints is Mary, the Mother of Jesus and Mother of the Church. She was very young w asked to be the mother of God’s Son, Jesus. Mary is also our mother and our closest con tion to Jesus.

In this sacrament a sick person has holy oil applied and receives the strength, peace, and courage to overcome the difficulties associated with illness.

Mary had a special relationship with her Son, Jesus, from the very beginning when she conceived him. Because of this relationship, she enjoys a special participation in Jesus’ Resurrection and has been taken into Heaven where she now lives with him. We celebrate this event in the Feast of the Assumption on August 15. [Asunción]

B Baptism the first of the seven sacraments. Baptism frees us from Original Sin and is necessary for Salvation. Baptism gives us new life in Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. The celebrant baptizes the person with water in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. [Bautismo]

Baptismal Promises All: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Leader 1: We have learned that it was Jesus who established the Catholic Church. Before his Ascension into Heaven, he commissioned his disciples to go forth and share his teaching with all nations. As we hear the words spoken to the disciples, let us listen for our own calling. Leader 2: The eleven disciples went to Galilee to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”

baptismal promises the promises made by a person about to be baptized, or by the parents or godparents on behalf of an infant or a child unable to make promises on his or her own. The baptismal promises renounce Satan and commit the person to living a faithful Christian life. [promesas bautismales] Beatitudes the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew’s Gospel. The Beatitudes are eight ways of living the Christian life. They are the fulfillment of the commandments given to Moses. These teachings present the way to true happiness. [Bienaventuranzas] Body of Christ In the Sacrament of the Eucharist, all the risen Lord Jesus Christ—body, blood, soul, and divinity—is present in the form of bread and wine. If a person receives only one element of the sacrament, that is, only the Body or only the Blood, that person still receives Jesus completely— body, blood, soul, and divinity. [Cuerpo de Cristo]

(Matthew 28:18–19)

The Word of the Lord. All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Looking Ahead You are on a journey to being formed as a Catholic. So what does a Catholic look like? You have probably seen pictures or drawings of saints. All Catholics are called to become saints. Saints are holy, faithful people. But we don’t have to perform miracles or do amazing things to be saints. The early Church called all the faithful followers of Jesus “the saints.” And how did the saints live? The saints devoted themselves to holding on to their faith, expressing their faith, living their faith, and praying their faith.

CHAPTER OPENER connects personal experiences of children to the faith concept that will be explored.

CHAPTER 1

Passing On Faith

A long time ago, just 200 years after Jesus ascended to Heaven, a Christian writer named Tertullian wrote that “Christians are made, not born.” Tertullian was saying that the Church uses certain methods to make Christians. Tertullian’s reminder was saying the same thing that Jesus said right before he ascended to Heaven:

Jesus is telling us to go out and baptize and teach others what he taught us. He showed us through his own life that good Christians should be examples of faith, hope, love, forgiveness, compassion, mercy, and justice. We are called to show others how to be a follower of Jesus’, a disciple. The word disciple comes from a Latin root Christians are made, not born. word that means “to learn.” We need to learn about [Tertullian, Church Father, our faith so that we can show others what it means Third Century AD] to live as disciples.

Making Christians

“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19–20)

Un sacerdote siempre preside la misa. El sacerdote comienza la misa invitándonos a recordar nuestros pecados. Nos guía en una oración inicial. La misa tiene dos partes. La primera es la Liturgia de la Palabra. Un lector o proclamador nos lee pasajes de la Biblia. El sacerdote o un diácono también lee de la Biblia; nos lee una historia de los Evangelios. Dios nos habla mediante estas lecturas. Nos encontramos con Jesús en la lectura del Evangelio. A continuación el padre nos habla acerca de las lecturas y da una homilía. Nos ponemos

SERI

Pray Me 3.

Now we’re going to spend time in prayer. First we need to make ourselves comfortable. Give yourself enough space so that nothing distracts you. [Pause] Close your eyes and let yourself begin to grow still. [Pause] Take a few moments to pay attention to your breath and how it makes your chest rise and fall. [Pause] Take a slow, deep breath in, [Pause] then slowly and silently exhale. [Pause] Take another slow, deep breath in, [Pause] and silently exhale. [Pause, and repeat as necessary]

The adage “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem” are words to take to heart. In good conscience, we cannot be silent bystanders to injustice or the hurtful behavior of others. We each have a responsibility to stand up for the rights and dignity of one another.

Lead the Meditation Gently say the following:

Read and Discuss the Story This is a story about a girl who notices other kids getting teased in school. A She thinks she’s OK because she doesn’t take part in the mean things other kids do. Then one day she is the one who gets teased, and she begins to see things differently. As you listen to this story, think about how teasing affects others and what you can do at your school to keep this from happening.

PR AY ER

EX PE RIE

Before sharing the story aloud, provide a brief summary and ask the children to think about how the story makes them feel. Use this example as your guide.

Think about your favorite place at school. Is it the playground? Or maybe it’s your classroom or the library. All that matters is that you like it there, and you feel comfortable and safe. In your imagination, go there now. [Pause] It’s early, and there aren’t too many kids at school yet. You get to have your favorite spot all to yourself for a little while. [Pause] Look around a moment to remember what makes you like it here so A take M Eand S Y much. [Pause]

• How does it make you feel when someone is unkind to you? • What are some things you can do to make others feel included?

As you relax and enjoy the silence, you notice Jesus walking toward you. Greet him in whatever way you’d like. [Pause] Jesus has a big smile on his Y SS A Pknows face.O LHe you like this place and is happy to join you here. Maybe RE [Pause]

you’d like to catch Jesus up on what you’ve been doing lately. NC E FO R CH ILD RE N AN D AD UL TS

After reading, discuss the story. Use these questions as your guide. • What big lesson did the girl learn when she was teased in the cafeteria? • Why is it important to step in and say something when we see someone being teased?

Each kit includes the hardcover children’s book and a booklet. Each booklet guides the adult with step-by-step instructions on how to share and discuss the story and then leads children into prayer.

Set the Stage Use the questions below as a guide to initiate a conversation about speaking up.

The guided ref lections in the Pray Me a Story series use popular children’s books as springboards for entering into imaginative prayer. After hearing the story, the child is gently guided into the scene to meet Jesus and prayerfully speak to him as one friend speaks to another.

Theme 2: Living in God’s Kingdom This theme acknowledges that we live in a kingdom where God is King on earth and in eternal life. Mary is Queen, and Jesus is the Prince of Peace. Children choose a vocation in order to serve and spread the Good News of God’s Salvation. Highlights • Kids take on the role of “citizens” in God’s Kingdom and meet in Catholic Castle.

• Scripture topics include the Beatitudes, being a child of God, the Canticle of Mary, and John the Baptist.

• Catechists teach the Rosary and other Catholic prayers.

• Crafts include guild banners, crowns, and coats of arms.

Under the Influence of Jesus by Joe Paprocki The Transforming Experience of Encountering Christ Many Catholics feel catechized but not “evangelized,” meaning they know about Jesus but do not feel they know him personally. The bridge between where we are and where we want to be in our faith journey can be confusing without the right guidance. In Under the Influence of Jesus, best-selling author Joe Paprocki explains complex spiritual concepts with engaging discussion so that “everyday” Catholics can integrate and articulate their faith and live the Gospel in a way that is simple, compelling, contemporary, liberating, and life-changing.

A Well-Built Faith makes it easy for Catholics to know what we believe and feel confident in sharing those beliefs with others. This 18-chapter book relies on the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (Creed, Sacraments, Morality, and Prayer).

Gain a solid understanding of the structure and organization of the Bible. Key topics include the different genres of biblical writing, pivotal figures in biblical history, and the methods Catholics rely on to interpret the Bible.

The Toolbox Series

Beyond the Catechist’s Toolbox Catechesis That Not Only Informs, but Also Transforms Joe Paprocki, best-selling author of The Catechist’s Toolbox, has written the first step-by-step book that demonstrates how to teach a 75-minute catechetical session with practical techniques that expand on the textbook to create a more prayerful climate in the classroom. In this book, Paprocki doesn’t discard the tools he first provided in The Catechist’s Toolbox—he builds on them! Based on the author’s strong conviction that catechesis should resemble Mass more than class, Beyond the Catechist’s Toolbox offers a template for worshipful catechesis that incorporates symbols, rituals, and gestures that help engage students to explore, ref lect on, and respond to the lesson. Beyond the Catechist’s Toolbox is an easy-to-use yet highly effective resource that enables young people to personally encounter Jesus in prayer and become lifelong disciples of Christ.

Random MOMents of Grace helps mothers realize that their spiritual lives can thrive in a world of play dates and playgrounds. For any mom wondering whether it's possible to be fully engaged in the adventures of motherhood without sacrificing her spirituality, Ginny Kubitz Moyer shows how to see God's grace in the silliest, messiest, and most frustrating moments of motherhood.

In Recipe for Joy, food writer, converted Catholic, and new wife and stepmom Robin Davis shares her stories of food, faith, and family life and discovers that food is the language she can speak best when stepping into unfamiliar territory. Davis's inspiring account reveals that food and faith can go hand in hand and that God uses people (and some really good meals) to bring us into a closer relationship. I

Inspirational Titles

Blessed By Less Cleaning out our closets, both the physical and the emotional, is a daunting task. Who knows what you’ll uncover, and ultimately, how do you manage what you want to keep and what you need to let go? In Blessed by Less, Susan Vogt found herself facing this issue and decided to approach the clutter from a spiritual perspective. What she found was that unburdening herself of “things” opened up a spiritual space inside her.

PRAYER

EXPERIENCING THE SPIRITUAL EXERCISES OF SAINT IGNATIUS IN DAILY LIFE

In The Prayer That Changes Everything, Jim Manney introduces Christians to a 500-year-old form of prayer that dramatically altered his perception of prayer and the way he prayed. The prayer is the examen, which St. Ignatius Loyola developed for the purpose of nurturing a reflective habit of mind that is constantly attuned to God’s presence. What makes the prayer so powerful is its capacity to dispel any notion that God is somewhere “up there,” detached from our day-to-day tasks and concerns. Instead, the examen leads us into a relationship with a God who desires to be personally caught up in the lives of those whom he created.

In The Ignatian Adventure, Kevin O'Brien, S.J., offers his own adaptation of the widely used 19th annotation, which allows people to "make" the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola over an extended period of time in the course of their daily lives.

the prayer that changes everything

or most people most of the time, prayer is hard. It is especially difficult —not to mention unsatisfying—when people experience it as formal, dry, and repetitious. But what might happen if you discovered a simple prayer that changed all that? What if you discovered a prayer that changed you?

By following five simple steps for praying the examen, we can encounter the God who, as Scripture tells us, “is not far from each one of us”—the God whose presence in our lives can make all the difference in the world.

Jim Manney is co-author of the book What’s Your Decision? as well as the editor of many books on Ignatian spirituality, including What Is Ignatian Spirituality? He is a senior editor for Loyola Press. Jim and his wife live in Michigan.
