Ideas from Past Classes

 

​Introduction: The Life of Jesus and the Bible
“Faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ."
-Romans 10 : 17

Jesus, the teacher and storyteller, taught through parables.
Parables are short, simple stories that are easy to understand.
Parables help us understand big things--like God and Heaven--
which are sometimes hard to understand.

​Chapter 1: Our Church Welcomes Us
Our church welcomes us as people of God.

Jesus invited Levi, a tax collector, to follow him. 
Today, we know Levi as Saint Matthew, Apostle and author of the first Gospel in the Bible.
We, too, are people of God; followers of Jesus.
We learn from Jesus's example.
We welcome others to be part of our community.

​Chapter 2: We Belong to the Church
In Baptism we become the children of God.

Jesus offers us living water through the Sacrament of Baptism.
Sacraments are celebrations of God's love for us.
The water, oil, white garments and candles used in Baptism are four signs of God's grace.

​Special Topic: Circles of Care - Safe Environments
“If you have love for one another, then everyone will know that you believe in me and you are my followers."
-John 13 : 35

Officer Buckle and Gloria is a Caldecott Award-winning book by Peggy Rathmann.
In this picture book we learn about the importance of following safety tips.
Rules and laws help keep us safe.
Jesus wants us to be safe and to help others do likewise.
We share what we know about staying safe with friends.

​Chapter 3: Our Church Shows Us How to Live
The saints show us how to become holy.

Saints are heroes in the Catholic Church.
They are hallowed or holy. They are close to God.
Saints show great love for other people and for God.

​Chapter 15: We Carry On the Work of Jesus
By showing love for others, we show love for God.

Jesus gave us the New Commandment, a new law.
“Love one another as I have loved you."
​Jesus teaches us to help others.

​Chapter 16: We Pray Like Jesus

Jesus gave us the Lord's Prayer

Jesus taught his followers how to pray.
In his prayer, Jesus used the word “Abba" which means “Daddy" or “Papa" in Aramaic.
This teaches us to think of God as a loving Father.
When we pray the Lord's Prayer we use the words “our" and “us".
This teaches us to pray for everyone!

Chapter 4: We Praise and Thank God

​We offer prayers of praise and thanks to God.

When we pray we talk with and listen to God.
We can and should praise and thank god when we pray.
King David used music to give praise and thanks to God.
He wrote many of the Psalms in the Bible.
Psalms are prayer songs or prayer poetry.
The songs we sing at Mass are a joyful kind of prayer.
Songs like the Gloria are inspired by Scripture.

First Week of Advent: Hope


The church has its own calendar called the liturgical calendar.
The new church year begins on the first Sunday of Advent.
Advent always starts 4 Sundays before Christmas.
Advent is a time for helping, giving, praying, welcoming, and waiting.
We are waiting for Christmas! We are waiting to celebrate Jesus's birthday!
We are also waiting for Jesus to return!
It's hard to wait, but we can use this time to prepare and perfect ourselves for Jesus.
Bless your Advent wreath.
Attach the flame to the Hope candle.
Read the Hope card.
Starting Monday, attach a berry each day and read the Scripture verse.

Second Week of Advent: Love

Chapter 19: We Work for Peace and Justice
​Jesus taught us to treat others fairly.

Jesus taught his followers to work towards peace and justice.
Peace means getting along with others. Justice means treat everyone fairly.
St. Nicholas, the man we now know as Santa Claus, was a follower of Jesus.
He promoted peace and justice by sharing what he had and taking care of those in need.
The Catholic church celebrates  St. Nicholas each year with a feast day on December 6.

Third Week of Advent: Joy

Gaudete Sunday, the Sunday of Joy!
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: Rejoice!
Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near."
Philippians 4:4-5

The word “catholic" means “universal".
It is a good word to describe our church, because our church spans the whole world.
During this period of Advent, people around the world are preparing to celebrate Christmas.
​Each country and each family has different Christmas traditions,
and yet they all share one thing in common... our love for Jesus!

Fourth Week of Advent: Peace

The angel said to them,
“Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.
And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”
And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying:
“Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
​Luke 2 : 10-14

The Hail Mary prayer honors our greatest Saint, Mary, mother of Jesus.
The first two lines of the prayer come from the Christmas story.
God's angel Gabriel came to Mary and said,
“Hail, Mary. The Lord is with thee!"
before sharing the good news that Mary would give birth to God's own Son! 
Later, her cousin Elizabeth, is filled with the Holy Spirit when Mary greets her.
Elizabeth is pregnant, too.
Her baby, John the Baptist, jumps for joy at the sound of Mary's voice!
This is when Elizabeth says,
“Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus!"

Epiphany of the Lord

“And behold, the star that they had seen...
came and stopped over the place where the child was.

They were overjoyed at seeing the star,
and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother."
​Matthew 2 : 9-11
​

Chapter 10: We Listen to God's Word

In the Liturgy of the Word, we learn how to follow Jesus

Jesus tells a story about what happens when we really listen to God's Word.
Our faith grows.
We listen to the Word of God--Bible readings--during Mass.
This first part of Mass is called the Liturgy of the Word.
During the Liturgy of the Word we say the Nicene Creed.
The Nicene Creed tells what Catholics believe.

Chapter 12

We pray for others.

As children of God, we trust in our heavenly Father to answer our prayers.
At Mass we pray for ourselves and we pray for others during the Prayer of the Faithful (or Universal Prayer).
Pope Francis shares a “handy" 5-finger guide to help us pray.
He suggests we pray for others first.
Praying for others first can help us pray for our own needs in a better way.
Keeping a book of prayer intentions also makes it easier to pray.
