Finding God 2021

SCAN TO WATCH VIDEO

GRADES 1–8. School and parish use the same student books with teacher manuals or catechist guides. Covering the full and authentic teachings of the Catholic Church and rooted in Scripture, Church Tradition, and Ignatian spirituality, Finding God: Our Response to God's Gifts starts children out on a life of intentional discipleship and fosters a lived relationship with God through Jesus. It provides all the tools to engage the whole child—mind, heart, and soul— uniquely guiding children to engage with Scripture, practice prayer, and to find God in all things. Spiral curriculum integrates the fundamental themes of the Catechism with Scripture and Catholic social teachings. Children are introduced to and revisit concepts and vocabulary from one year to the next, as their knowledge and experience both

broadens and deepens. The program features: multimedia content—animations, narrated videos, interactive activities, and audio clips; special sections on the foundations of the Catholic faith; reflection and prayer; multimodal learning; additional family resources; and family catechesis. Scripture posters and access to reproducible blackline masters and small group project plans are included with each catechist guide and teacher manual. Art easels with 25 prints per grade provide teachers with new methods to help children explore Scripture, tradition, and concepts of the Catholic faith. Ebooks and online assessments are available for this series.  (©2021).

We Believe Catholic Identity Edition

KINDERGARTEN. School and parish use the same student book, with catechist guide for parish and teacher manual for school. GRADES 1–6. School and parish use different books. Each grade level includes four 8-page Catholic Identity Retreats. Each retreat is based on one of the four pillars of the Catechism and can be presented in one class period.

Retreats can also be extended into a longer period of time.

These are not lessons, rather they are designed to inspire

children and to give them an opportunity to encounter Christ in Scripture and in Catholic prayer. Catechist guides and teacher manuals from the older Project Disciple edition work with this edition, but need the new leader guide component for leading retreats. Assessments, review and resource books, family book/home lesson plans, and music CDs from the Project Disciple edition are also used with the Catholic Identity edition.  (©2015)

A Family of Faith

GRADES K–8. A parish-based program that catechizes the entire family. This program is designed to be used by parishes as an alternative to classroom religious education programs. Parental involvement in the faith-life of their child is the most important element in ensuring that a child develops into a practicing Christian. Family of Faith was created to meet the demand among parishes who recognize that families are disengaging from the faith. Even many parents who send their children to parish religious education programs struggle to create an authentic Catholic family in the home. Provides an easy-to-use solution to catechizing the whole family and helping parents lead their children.

The program follows a four-year cycle: one pillar of the Catechism is covered each year from September through May. Each year is self-contained so families may join at any time in the cycle. The program is flexible and can be tailored to meet the needs of a particular parish.

Recommended process is: 1. Parish catechist gathers parents once a month to catechize them through teaching and discussion.

2. Two weeks later, the entire family gathers after a Sunday Mass for a short "community meeting" with activities ranging from picnics and feast day celebrations to prayer groups and adoration.

3. Over the course of the month, parents teach two lessons to their children at home using the Family of Faith parent guide and student activity books. Learn more on pages 138139. (©2017, 2019)

The Bible Timeline

Using a combination of home study, small group discussion, commentary and lectures from seasoned Scripture scholars and teachers on video, these Bible studies help people dig into God’s Word and make it their own. By working through the lesson at home, readers are given the background for an informed reading of the Bible. They are drawn into the text and discover the literal sense of the reading for themselves, and then consider it in light of the teachings of the Catholic Church and in the greater Biblical context. Following this, small group discussion brings in different perspectives and reinforces what people have learned. This prepares participants for the lecture on video which wraps up the lesson

and takes people a step further into the spiritual sense of Scripture and how it applies to their lives. Presenter Jeff Cavins shows how fourteen of the Bible’s narrative books tell the biblical story from beginning to end and gives the keys to understanding the amazing story woven throughout Scripture.

Cuando Jesús apareció como Dios nuestro Salvador, trajo bondad y “amor generoso”. Él nos salvó. Jesús no nos salvó porque hubiésemos hecho cosas buenas. Él nos salvó por su misericordia. Éramos pecadores. Éramos gente que hacía cosas malas, y aun así Jesús nos salvó. Basado en Tito 3, 4–5

CONSIDEREMOS ESTO

Este capítulo explica cómo desde la Misa se nos envía a vivir la misión de la Iglesia de compartir el mensaje de Jesús de amor y el Reino de Dios.

¿Cuánto les cuesta callarse una buena noticia?

La Palabra de Dios

Lean Hechos 28, 30–31 para aprender más acerca de San Pablo y de su misión.

Lo que creemos

• La misión de la Iglesia es compartir el amor de Jesús y anunciar la Buena Nueva del Reino de Dios.

• Todos los miembros de la Iglesia comparten su misión.

Para aprender más, vayan al Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica #900–905 en usccb.org.

Gente de fe

LOS NIÑOS DE ESTA EDAD

Cómo comprenden vivir como el pueblo de la Eucaristía A los niños se les dice a veces “Eres lo que comes” como una manera de ayudarlos a comprender que deben comer alimentos saludables que los ayuden a crecer y que deben evitar el exceso de comida chatarra. Ellos deben estar preparados para la idea de que, a medida de que se alimentan con Jesús mismo en la forma de la Eucaristía, Dios los ayudará a parecerse más a Cristo en su vida diaria. De hecho, somos enviados después de la celebración eucarística para ser las manos y los pies de Cristo en el mundo.

HABLEMOS

© Our Sunday Visitor

Esta semana, su hijo conoció a San Antonio María Claret, el fundador de los claretianos. Él usó su destreza como impresor para producir libros acerca de la fe católica.

Usamos la frase “me muero por contarte la novedad” para describir lo difícil que es mantener en secreto una buena noticia. La Buena Nueva que cambió a toda la humanidad fue la vida, Muerte y Resurrección de Jesús. Y nosotros deberíamos estar “muriéndonos por contar” esa Buena Nueva. “Esta es la Buena Nueva que termina en amor, justicia y misericordia para todo el mundo. El Reino se realiza parcialmente en la tierra y permanentemente en el cielo. Entramos en este Reino mediante la fe en Cristo, la iniciación bautismal que nos lleva a la Iglesia y la vida en comunión de todos sus miembros” (CCEUA, p. 86).

• Pidan a su hijo que les explique la misión de la Iglesia (difundir la Buena Nueva y obrar por el Reino).

• Compartan cómo Dios nos nutre a través de los Sacramentos, su familia, la oración, el arte, etc.

OREMOS San Antonio, ruega por nosotros para que usemos nuestra habilidad para enseñar a los demás acerca de Jesús.

Amén.

SACRED SCRIPTURE The Guidance of the Scriptures

T

CATECHISM

imothy led the early Christian community in Ephesus, in present-day Turkey. The following Scripture passage comes from the second epistle, or letter, of Saint Paul to Timothy. In this letter, Paul encourages Timothy to protect his community from the false teachings of others. He reminds Timothy that the Bible is the Word of God and tells him to remain committed to proclaiming the Gospel, even when he feels challenged.

Q&A

Q. What makes up Sacred Scripture?

A. The forty-six books of the Old Testament and the twenty-seven books of the New Testament make up Sacred Scripture, or the Bible. Together they are the Scripture that the Church accepts and honors as inspired by the Holy Spirit. (See CCC, 120.)

Catholic Customs Symbols for the Gospel Writers The writers of the four Gospels are called evangelists. The evangelists are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. In Church art, symbols are sometimes used for the evangelists.

The symbols are as follows: Matthew, an angel; Mark, a winged lion; Luke, a winged ox; and John, an eagle.

Q. What are the Gospels? Why do they hold a special place of honor among all the books of the Bible?

A. The four Gospels are the Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. They have a central place in all Scripture because they contain a record of Jesus’ life, teaching, death, and Resurrection. (See CCC, 127.)

A    S L  P  T

Scripture at Mass We hear Scripture proclaimed at every Mass, during the part of the Mass called the Liturgy of the Word.

During the Liturgy of the Word, we usually hear three Scripture readings and pray one psalm. The reading from the Second Letter of Paul that you just read would be the Second Reading.

Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed, because you know from whom you learned it, and that from infancy you have known [the] sacred scriptures, which are capable of giving you wisdom for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for refutation, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work.

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingly power: proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.

KNOW and BELIEVE Name someone who has helped you learn about your Catholic faith, then tell how so. Name one person you can help to grow in faith, and describe how you can do so.

Words to Know Sacred Scripture the Word of God contained in the Old Testament and New Testament; the Bible

Divine Revelation God’s gift of gradually revealing to us the mystery of who he is through his words and deeds

STORIES OF GOD’S LOVE SECOND EDITION

For My Family Sharing the Bible Story Jesus Blesses the Children Jesus had special friends whom he chose to be his helpers. Jesus and his special friends, or disciples, traveled from town to town to remind people about the good news of God’s love.

Hearing that Jesus was visiting their town, many people hurried to listen to him. They believed Jesus was a great teacher. They wanted to see him and listen to him.

Some people asked him questions about God. Sometimes Jesus answered their questions by telling the people stories. These stories helped people to understand what Jesus was teaching them. One very important thing that Jesus taught the people was that they were to always try their best to live as children of God. One time when Jesus was teaching the people, parents brought their little children, even babies, to him. They wanted Jesus to touch and bless their children. When the disciples of Jesus saw what the people were doing, they told the people and their children to go away and to leave Jesus alone.

Jesus saw and heard what his disciples were doing, and he stopped them. He said, “Let the little children come to me. You are to learn to love God as these little children love.”

Jesus turned to the children. He invited them to come to him. Jesus put his hands on them and he blessed them.

After that Jesus and his disciples went to another place.

Based on Matthew 19:13-15, Mark 10:13-16, and Luke 18:15-17

Scripture Background Children in Jesus’ time were treated as insignificant at best and as examples of poor behavior or subjects to be trained at worst. Thus, it is not surprising that the disciples turned them away. What is important is that Jesus, in stark contrast, holds children up as a model of those who will inherit the Kingdom of God.

Nurturing Our Children Your kindergarten child’s notion of right and wrong is developing. While adults might see the value of sharing or being a good sport even when they are losing, this is often not the perspective from which kindergarteners view their relationship with other people. Do not jump to the conclusion that your child is being intentionally selfish when he or she does not wish to share.

Cognitively, children this age still view the world from “their” perspective—they are the center of the world.

Support and positively reinforce your child’s efforts as he or she grows socially and morally.

Jesus Welcomes

5 the Children

Living Our Faith Together Here are four activities to do with your child: ■ With your child, read the story “Jesus Blesses the Children” based on Matthew 19:13-15, Mark 10:13-16, and Luke 18:15-17. Talk about how your family welcomes people. Talk about how your family lives as children of God. ■ Together with your child, make a welcome sign to hang near your front door.

■ Just as Jesus welcomed the children, help your child begin to understand that he or she was welcomed into the Catholic Church at Baptism. Through Baptism we are joined to Christ, given the gift of the Holy Spirit, and become children of God. We are called to live holy lives and to live as Jesus taught.

■ Visit www.RCLBStoriesofGodsLove.com, where you will find games, activities, stories of saints and tips for creating a faith-filled home.

Praying as a Family Invite your child to pray this or a similar prayer with you before you read this week’s story. Begin with praying the Sign of the Cross.

God our Father, we thank you for sending us Jesus to be our friend.

Help us to be kind to other people and to live as your children and friends of Jesus.

Amen.

Signs of Grace: First Reconciliation

We Believe and Celebrate: First Penance

Instead of using a textbook or workbook, children interact with and explore The Catholic Children’s Bible and track their journey to the destination of celebrating the sacraments using hands on activities, treasure maps and stickers.

Capture the hearts and minds of children with active learning opportunities. Scripture and doctrine are the foundation of the program, as is prayer, which is offered in each chapter and helps children develop a relationship with God.

Presents the teachings of the Church on the sacrament with a focus on helping children understand intellectually, spiritually, and emotionally that Holy Communion is a real encounter with Jesus Christ.

Students transform their books into keepsakes with photos and drawings. They are given the opportunity to express their faith through prayer and activities.

Focuses on the symbols, rituals and prayers of the sacrament.
