Learning Intention for Wednesday 24th February 2021
We are continuing with our topic ‘unity‘
To be able to show an understanding of how belief in Jesus, the uniting presence in Holy Communion, shapes the lives of Christians
Read the Eucharistic Prayer for children:
Learning Focus 3 – Eucharistic Prayer for Children III
Our Father presentation 97-2003 format
Reflect on these questions:
- Which are your favourite words or phrases and why?
- Which one surprised you and why?
- How do you think being in communion with Jesus Christ and his Church might make a difference to your life?
I would like you to think of all the ways in which you can work for the peace and unity of your family, class and/or school today. Create a PowerPoint presentation or a poster to illustrate this. Make links to some scripture already studied in this topic, some of the phrases from the Eucharistic Prayer III and your own experience and feelings.
We are currently in the very important season of Lent.
Mrs McEvoy and Mrs Sonko have shared this wonderful calendar that will help us to reflect during this very important time:
We have looked at this from the Cafod website in today’s liturgy:
A special Lenten fast
Give up harsh words: use generous ones.
Give up unhappiness: take up gratitude.
Give up anger: take up gentleness and patience.
Give up pessimism: take up hope and optimism.
Give up worrying: take up trust in God.
Give up complaining: value what you have.
Give up stress: take up prayer.
Give up judging others: discover Jesus within them.
Give up sorrow and bitterness: fill your heart with joy.
Give up selfishness: take up compassion for others.
Give up being unforgiving: learn reconciliation.
Give up words: fill yourself with silence, and listen to others.
