Still the Same! This supplementary catechetical resource continues to help you bring the richness of the Lectionary and the liturgical year into your traditional faith formation program, Catholic school program, or process of preparing students for Christian initiation. Each twenty-minute session is designed to help you lead class discussion easily and with minimal preparation, while giving you the flexibility to adapt sections to your group’s unique needs. Celebrating the Lectionary is still your trusted source for liturgically and doctrinally sound lectionary-based catechesis. ®
The materials in this edition of the resource are appropriate for the needs, experiences, and abilities of students in intermediate grades. Each session includes: i Background information for teachers on the main themes of the session and how the message of the Gospel relates to Church teaching.
i Suggestions for quick Gospel-related activities, requiring few special materials and minimal preparation, which help the young people put the Gospel message into action.
i Questions to help make liturgical calendar connections between the Gospel message, the lives of the saints, and the lives of your students.
i Living the Liturgy at Home pages to help families continue catechesis at home with prayer, conversation questions, and suggested ways to act upon the Gospel message. These pages can be photocopied for students to take home.
i An opening prayer ritual.
