Our Response to God’s Gifts

ReviewGod our Father created the world to show his love for us. Jesus, the Son of God, tells us that God loves us and listens to our prayers. God wants to help us. An important way that he speaks to us is through our conscience.

PrayerLoving God, I see the world your great love has created. Help me share your love with others by guiding me to make good choices and to do the right thing.

Faith SummaryGod creates each of us with a soul and free will. We see his love in the world he created for us. We have the responsibility to care for the things God creates.

The truth about God and his plan for us is found in the Bible. The Theological Virtues of faith, hope, and charity help us carry out God’s plan.

Adam and Eve turned away from God by giving in to temptation. When we turn away from God, we hurt our relationship with him and with one another. However, God did no t stop loving Adam and Eve, and he will never stop loving us.

Although we are all tempted to sin, we can follow the Holy Spirit and use our free will to choose how we will act. When we make an examination of conscience and listen to and obey the Holy Spirit, we choose to live in true freedom.

My ResponseIn this unit, you learned more about God, our Creator and Father. What will you do to be closer to God? How will you work to take care of his creation?

ReviewJesus lived among us to teach us about God’s love. He showed us how to live as God wants us to live so that we can be with him forever in God’s kingdom.

PrayerJesus, Son of God, give me the strength to follow your example in sharing God’s love with others.

Faith SummaryJesus taught us by word and by example. He gave us his commandment of love, telling us to love one another as he loves us. During his lifetime, Jesus showed perfect love to everyone. He healed people who were sick and cared for those who were poor. In all his words and actions, Jesus revealed God’s love for us.

Jesus gave us the Beatitudes, which are a set of directions for living a life that is pleasing to God. By following the Beatitudes faithfully, we will help build up the Kingdom of God.

Jesus knew that being one of his followers would not always be easy. After his Death, Resurrection, and Ascension, Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to his followers to help them continue his ministry. Today, the Holy Spirit gives us strength to follow Jesus.

The corporal and spiritual works of mercy are specific ways to help others. They show us how we can serve God by caring for people’s needs.

My ResponseBeing meek means being kind and gentle. How can practicing this beatitude help you at home and at school?

ReviewJesus calls us to be faithful members of his Church. As part of this community, we are brothers and sisters in Christ.

PrayerLoving Jesus, help me be a good disciple by serving people in need.

Faith SummaryAs Catholics, we belong to Jesus’ community—the Church. We become full members of the Church through the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist.

Jesus calls the Church to continue his mission. As the successors of the Apostles, the pope and the bishops are the spiritual leaders of the Church. Faithful Catholics follow the precepts of the Church.

Jesus calls us to ask for forgiveness when we sin so that we can live as friends with him and others. We celebrate God’s love and forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Jesus’ parable of the forgiving father shows God’s willingness to forgive us when we sin.

Mary, the Mother of God, became the first and greatest disciple of Jesus. Mary is the Mother of the Church as well as the Mother of God. She continues her discipleship in heaven, where she prays for us.

My ResponseWhat can you do this week at school to show that you are Jesus’ disciple?

ReviewJesus and the Church are one. We meet Jesus in the sacraments of the Church. The sacraments give us the grace to live as Jesus’ disciples in the world.

PrayerJesus, help me always remember that you are with me, leading me to grow in relationship with God and others.

Faith SummaryAs Christians, we continue the mission of Jesus through his Church. When we sin, we damage our relationship with God. He calls us back to him and offers us the grace to be sorry. Our relationship with God is restored in the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. God forgives us out of love. In the same way, he calls on us to forgive others.

Jesus nourishes us in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Sharing food is a way of showing compassion for others. As Catholics, we are called to celebrate the Sacrament of the Eucharist at Mass every Sunday and holy day of obligation.

Those who are ill or dying celebrate the healing presence of Jesus in the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. Members of the Church strengthen their communities when they show special concern for those who are ill or old.

In the Sacrament of Matrimony, a man and a woman receive the grace to love each other as Christ loves his Church. In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, men are ordained as bishops, priests, and deacons. Bishops and priests help us live out our baptismal call through their teaching, their leading the community in worship, and their care as pastors. Deacons assist priests and bishops in their ministry, preach the Gospel, and serve the needs of the community. As members of Jesus’ community, the Church, we are called to love and serve others just as Jesus loved and served.

My ResponseYou might not know it, but many people who are homeless are children. There are many ways you can help these children, from organizing food and clothing drives to participating in a bike-a-thon to raise money for a shelter. On a separate sheet of paper, write about what you can do.

ReviewEvery day we make choices that affect our relationships with God and with others. We can make good choices by following the Ten Commandments.

PrayerJesus, help me make good choices by guiding me to follow the Ten Commandments.

Faith SummaryWhen God gave the Hebrews the Ten Commandments, they entered into a covenant with him. They agreed to live by the Ten Commandments, and God renewed his promise to be faithful to them and to give them a home. Jesus’ command to love God and one another fulfills the Ten Commandments. The same covenant applies to us as members of God’s family. Living in relationship with God means accepting his rules for how to live.

Jesus told us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. The first three commandments are about love of God. We make God our first priority and love him above all else.

Jesus told us to love our neighbor as ourselves. The Fourth and Sixth Commandments tell us to honor our family relationships. We are called to respect and obey our parents, and our parents are called to care for us and to be faithful to their wedding promises. The Fifth Commandment forbids us to kill. Jesus told us to love our enemies.

The Seventh Commandment tells us to respect the rights and possessions of others. The Eighth Commandment tells us to be truthful in what we say, what we do, and how we live. The Ninth and Tenth Commandments tell us not to envy others or to covet, or want for ourselves, what other people have.

My ResponseChoose one commandment that you will follow in a special way over the next week. On a separate sheet of paper, write the commandment in your own words. Then write what you will do to follow it. Keep this sheet of paper in a special place. Review it throughout the week.
