Name a song, poem, letter, play, etc that has stood out for them.

What other methods of communication are used in the 21st century? Are all as effective as each other? Justify.

If you had to communicate something important to others, what form would you use and why?

LITERARY FORMSRead CFM p.81 and discuss key ideas.Ensure that students understand that the Sacred Authors did not intend people to take every detail in their writings as exact historical fact. Therefore, Catholics are not obliged to take literally every detail contained in the Bible. This is not to say that the Bible is without factual material; it actually contains a great many facts.

Ancient historians often used historical figures and events in ways that best illustrated the lessons they wanted to teach. They selected and reorganised events to suit their purposes, frequently expressing these truths in the form of a story. Other symbolic representations were used to convey truths about God, these included used stories, poems, myths, wise sayings, and so on.

NARRATIVE / STORYTeacher reads (students follow) CFM pp.81-86 and discuss key ideas.

The Catholic Church believes that the Bible should be read with an understanding that the Sacred Authors did not intent people to take every details in their writings as exact historical fact

The prime concern of the authors was to convey to the people the truth they knew about God

Memorare and the Hail Holy Queen are two examples of prayers where followers of Jesus ask Mary to pray for them; Another Marian devotion the Rosary consists of prayers, each one focussing on a different aspect of the life of Jesus and Mary.; There are seven gifts of the Holy Spirit received through the Sacrament of Confirmation

The Communion of Saints: Catholics believe that they are linked in a special way with the saints – those who have already died and are now with God. The Communion of Saints is another way of describing the Church which is made up of those in heaven, those who are being purified before seeing God face to face, and those who are journeying towards God on earth. This link explains the ancient practice of praying to the saints for help and inspiration and also praying for the dead that they too may be with God forever. The idea of a communion of those living and those who are with God is beautifully expressed in many prayers that speak of those who have died being met or greeted by the saints as a mark of their entry into eternal life with God.
