UNIT 1 God Reveals a Plan of Love Goals • Children will demonstrate growth in their love for God by developing a deeper understanding of God’s plan of salvation. • Children will demonstrate understanding of and appreciation for the Old Testament. 1 The Bible Reveals God’s Saving Love Children are reminded that the Bible is one of the chief means of discovering God’s love for them and of learning how they can deepen their relationship with God. They learn that through Scripture, God reveals himself and the divine plan for our happiness. They see that the Old Testament helps us to understand Jesus. 2 Scripture Is God’s Saving Word Children learn that God reveals himself and calls us to an intimate relationship through Sacred Scripture as well as through Sacred Tradition. They come to understand that God desires to speak to them through Scripture. They are introduced to the Bible as a collection of various kinds of inspired writings and learn the major categories of books in the Old Testament. They review how to locate passages. 3 Everything God Created Is Good Children learn not only of the original creation of all things but also of God’s continual act of creation, which includes creating new beings and keeping all things in existence. They are made aware of God’s special creation of people and are led to realize that people are more important than things. Responding to their call as stewards of the earth, they consider ways of protecting and caring for human life and for all the gifts of the earth. 4 God Offers Love and Mercy Through a study of the first stories in Genesis, children ponder the entrance of sin into our world and its effect on our relationships with God and others. They see how God revealed the depth of divine love and mercy in promising a redeemer, and they discover in this promise the basis for Christian hope. They are given opportunities to grow in the Christlike response of peace and forgiveness. 5 Unit 1 Review Children review the terms, people, and events as well as the concept of salvation history, which appears in Unit 1. In the context of a celebration, the Scripture prayer booklet God’s Word Is Alive in . is provided for them from the back of the children’s book. The unit review may be used in class or assigned as a home project to lead children to scriptural prayer. Media in This Unit When preparing to teach the unit, determine how you will use the media. Media that enhances each chapter can be accessed by scanning the QR codes found on the student pages.

CHAPTER 1 Faith Focus We come to know God and Jesus through Scripture. Listening I am the Lord, your God, teaching you how to prevail, and leading you on the way you should go. Isaiah 48:17 Reflecting Christians and Jews share the belief that the Old Testament is the Word of God. As such, the books of Scripture teach that truth which God has communicated for the sake of our salvation. (See Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation #11.) Beginning with Abraham, God’s self-revelation was made at specific times, in specific places, to specific people. The record of this communication has been faithfully transmitted through the ages, first orally and then in writing. Catholic Tradition has always held that God’s Revelation in the Bible is true, for the Church has always believed in the divine origin of the Scriptures. What God reveals must be true; a loving God cannot deceive. The compelling power of God’s Word can radically change our lives—as it changed the life of Saint Augustine. In his youth, Augustine recklessly abandoned himself to the cravings of his passions, but his spirit still hungered. Finally, in desperation, Augustine prayed for deliverance from his sin. Hearing a childlike voice chanting repeatedly, “Take up and read. Take up and read,” he opened the Reflecting on the Faith Experience Take a few moments to reflect prayerfully before preparing the lesson. Responding Lord, help my children grow in knowledge and love of you through your Word—Scripture. Scripture for Further Reflection Colossians 1:15–20 God’s plan to draw all things in the heavens and on earth to himself in Christ existed from the beginning of time. Jesus, by his Death and Resurrection, destroyed the power of sin—the only obstacle keeping us from intimacy with God. 1 Corinthians 2:7–8 God’s plan to embrace and love each of us is more wonderful than even our greatest dreams. Bible and read in silence the first verses on which his eyes fell: Let us conduct ourselves properly as in the day, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in promiscuity and licentiousness, not in rivalry and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh. Romans 13:13–14 That message was the catalyst that converted Saint Augustine, set him free from the bondage of sin, and enkindled in him the desire to put away all that had kept him from the Lord. With the psalmist, therefore, we sing God’s praise and pray that God’s Revelation will guide our lives: Wonderful are your testimonies; therefore I keep them. The revelation of your words sheds light, gives understanding to the simple. I sigh with open mouth, yearning for your commandments. Turn to me and be gracious, according to your judgment for those who love your name. Steady my feet in accord with your promise; do not let iniquity lead me. Psalm 119:129–133 Do I read Scripture on a regular basis? The Bible Reveals God’s Saving Love T2 Unit 1 God Reveals a Plan of Love SAMPLE

UNIT 1 For I know well the plans I have in mind for you— oracle of the LORD—plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope. Jeremiah 29:11 God Reveals a Plan of Love 1 God is true. The Bible teaches us about God’s plan to save all people and fill our lives with happiness and peace. • You already know many things that God teaches us in the Bible. This year, you will learn many more. God is so great that no matter how much we study, we will never be able to say, “I know all about God.” We can always come to know God better. Centering 1. Greet children. Introduce yourself and share with children why you are happy to be their catechist. 2. Have children introduce themselves to the class. First, let’s have you introduce yourself. Say your name and use three words from the board to describe you. For instance, “My name is Mary. I’m quiet, agreeable, and loyal.” You can use other words besides those listed. 3. Discuss getting to know someone well. Think of someone you know well. Recall how you came to know that person.

(talk to God in prayer) • What are some ways God speaks to us? (through creation, the love of others, the Bible, the Church) When God speaks, we should listen with our whole selves. How do we do that? (be quiet, pay attention to God, give time to prayer) Can you rearrange the letters in listen to spell a word that tells what you must be to really listen? (silent) 5.

You will learn more about this fourthcentury saint in the Families in Mission pages for Chapter 1. How to Read the Bible as a Catholic Catholics believe that the Bible is God’s Word and everything in it is true. So, then, is it a fact that God created the world in seven days? If everything in the Bible is true, does this mean that Catholics have to choose between science and the Bible? The key to understanding how to read the Bible as a Catholic is to understand the difference between truth and fact. Something can be truthful without being factual. For example, if you say that you “waited a million years” for something, you would be speaking the truth: you waited a long time. However, the information is not factual: you did not wait a million years. Figurative language such as this communicates truth without relying completely on facts. As Catholic Christians, we believe that everything in the Bible is true. What we mean is that the Bible teaches us, without error, the truth that God wants us to know him and his plan. Although the Bible does contain historical and scientific information, the Holy Spirit guided the human authors of the Bible to teach the truth. Because he inspired the human authors, God himself is the author of Sacred Scripture. He continues to guide the Church in interpreting his Word and applying it to our lives. With this in mind, we can say that the first account of creation in the Book of Genesis is true. It teaches us truths about God and his relationship with creation. God alone creates the universe, of his free choice, and without any help. God brings order out of chaos. Human beings are created in God’s image and likeness. Everything God created is good. As Catholics, we can learn from what scientists are teaching us about creation and, at the same time, learn from the Book of Genesis about the religious truth of creation. In this unit, children learn about God’s Divine Revelation of himself. They revisit essential chapter content, complete Your Turn activities, and undertake interactive chapter reviews. At the end of each chapter, children bring home the Families in Mission pages so that you can further explore the chapter content, grow in your faith, and be inspired to go forth as a family of missionary disciples. The last chapter of each unit is a unit review. There they will find a QR code to scan to play the Stump the Shepherd unit review game. 2 Unit 1 Christ Our Life® The Bible Reveals God’s Saving Love Chapter 1 T5 SAMPLE
CHAPTER 1 Invited by God How do you feel when you are invited to a party or to a friend’s house? Every time you receive an invitation, you have been chosen to take part in something. You must decide how you will respond. If you say yes, you can enjoy all that has been planned. You can deepen your friendship with the person who invited you and with all the other guests. This year, God invites you to go on a journey with his Chosen People through a study of the Old Testament. As you journey, you will see how much God loves his people, especially those who are poor and vulnerable. You will learn how God’s people responded to that love. You will see that their journey is much like your own journey to God’s kingdom. Who is this God who invites you? God is all-powerful and all-knowing. His being is Love and Truth, perfect in every way. God always was and always will be. God is so great and so far beyond our understanding that we can never completely grasp who he is. Fortunately, God helps us to know him. God reveals himself to us as the one God in three divine and inseparable Persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Even still, God remains a mystery beyond the words we use to describe him. All creation reveals how good and how great God is. However, God himself tells us more with his written Word. Sacred Scripture tells how God made himself known to the Hebrews. It reveals God’s plan to save all people by sending his Son, Jesus, to earth. Jesus, by his Death and Resurrection, fulfilled his Father’s plan. What’s more, Jesus reveals what God is like more fully than creation and Scripture do. He is the perfect Revelation of God because he is God. The Church helps us understand God’s Revelation.

Why Study the Old Testament? Here are seven good reasons to study the Old Testament. Check the reasons you already knew about, and circle the reasons you need to learn more about. ❍ The history of the Jewish people is our history too. ❍ Jesus read, studied, and prayed the Hebrew Scriptures. ❍ The Old Testament is God’s Word. ❍ The Old Testament helps us to understand Jesus. ❍ God speaks to us personally in the Bible. ❍ Reading the Old Testament helps us to understand our Jewish brothers and sisters. Called by Name God calls you by name. You belong to God, and he wants you to grow closer to him. Just as finding ways to communicate keeps people closely connected, in a similar way, God seeks loving communication with each of us. The Bible shows different ways that God speaks to people and how we can hear his voice. God’s Word Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name: you are mine. Isaiah 43:1 4 Unit 1 God Reveals a Plan of Love 9. Read aloud Called By Name on page 4. God’s Word 10. Ask a volunteer to read aloud the God’s Word feature on page 4. • According to God’s message, why shouldn’t we be afraid? (God has redeemed us. God has called us by name, and we are his.) • Encourage the use of the Bible at home. • You will be using the Bible often in class, but you can also let God’s Word be the “word of life” for you by reading at least one passage each day at home. 11. Discuss the phrase image of the invisible God. (Colossians 1:15) • God the Father has always planned to bring us and all creation back to a loving relationship through his Son, Jesus. Little by little, God revealed his plan to people such as Abraham, Moses, and the prophets, and did great things to show love and care for the Chosen People. • Finally, God’s most perfect Revelation, Jesus, came. In a New Testament letter, Jesus is called “the image of the invisible God.” Through Jesus, we come to know and love his Father. With Jesus’ Death and Resurrection, God the Father’s self-revelation was complete. 12. Have children complete the activity Why Study the Old Testament? on page 4. Let a few children tell which answers they checked and which they circled. The Bible Reveals God’s Saving Love Chapter 1 T7 SAMPLE
Revealed Through Scripture An event in Luke’s Gospel shows how Jesus used Scripture to teach about himself. On Easter Sunday, Cleopas and a companion, who were disciples of Jesus, were on their way from Jerusalem to Emmaus. As they walked, they talked about Jesus’ Death and the rumors of his Resurrection. The risen Jesus joined them on the road, but they did not recognize him. When Jesus asked what they were discussing, the disciples told him how disappointed and confused they were. They had hoped that Jesus was their Messiah, the Savior. Jesus listened to their story. Then he explained how the Hebrew Scriptures foretold the events in Jerusalem. He pointed out how passages about the Messiah referred to Jesus. The disciples were filled with joy as their fellow traveler spoke. By evening they were near Emmaus. The two disciples invited Jesus to stay with them. While they were eating supper, Jesus took bread and said the blessing. Then he broke the bread and gave it to them. With that, Cleopas and his friend recognized Jesus. Then Jesus disappeared. The disciples said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the Scriptures to us?” Excitedly they returned to Jerusalem. There they spread the news that Jesus was risen. They told others what he had taught them. Jesus also helps us to know him and understand his teachings through Scripture. The persons and events in the Bible reveal to us the greatness of God’s love. The Bible Reveals God’s Saving Love Chapter 1 5 13. Call on volunteers to read aloud Revealed Through Scripture on page 5. • Who is with Jesus in the picture on page 5? (disciples on the way to Emmaus) • What is Jesus doing? (explaining the Scriptures) • How do we know it was the Old Testament Jesus taught from and not the New Testament? (The New Testament wasn’t written yet.) • Why were the disciples filled with joy? (From the Scriptures, they learned that Jesus’ Death did not mean he wasn’t the Messiah. They could still have hope in him.) • One way we show our love for God’s Word is by treating the Bible with reverence and respect. T8 Unit 1 God Reveals a Plan of Love SAMPLE
A Sacred Deposit When you get your allowance or you receive money for your birthday or other special occasions, you might put some of the money in a bank. When you put money in a bank for safekeeping, it is called “making a deposit.” A deposit is something that is entrusted to someone or something else for safekeeping. Jesus gave to the Apostles a “sacred deposit”—his Word. Under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles handed on God’s Word by their preaching and writing. Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition make up this one sacred deposit of the Word of God, which is entrusted to the Church for safekeeping. The Church’s bishops continue to safeguard and share this sacred deposit with the help of priests and deacons, religious brothers and sisters, and catechists. With the help of the bishops, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we can understand what God is saying to us today. A Moment with Jesus Jesus helped the two disciples on the road to Emmaus to understand his teachings through Scripture. Take a moment to ask Jesus to help you this year to come to know him and his teachings through Scripture. Ask Jesus to fill you with his Holy Spirit so that you can recognize God’s presence in the words of the Bible and in the people you meet each day.

What conclusions can be drawn from the results of children’s pre-tests? Do children understand the importance of studying the Old Testament? Families IN MISSION A Catholic to Know Invite one family member to read aloud about Saint Jerome. Then discuss how his example can guide our lives. Could you perform a task that would take 30 years to complete? Saint Jerome did. He was called by Pope Damasus to translate the Bible into Latin. Jerome was such a brilliant scholar that his translation became the official text of the Catholic Church. Born in Eastern Europe in the 300s, Jerome was a man of extremes. He had a fierce temper and strong opinions but an equally intense love of Christ. Through his writings, Saint Jerome shared God’s Word with us. Like Jerome, we go forth to share the Word. We can ask Saint Jerome to help us grow in our love of the Scriptures. Witness and Share These sentences describe what Catholics believe. Invite one family member to read aloud the My Way to Faith statements. Ask yourself, “How strong are my Catholic beliefs?” My Way to Faith • I experience and respect God in his creation. • I learn about Jesus by reading the Bible. • I trust the Church’s bishops to safeguard the teachings of the Church. • I look to the Bible to guide me in making decisions in my life. • I read Scripture on a regular basis. • I talk with my family about the Sunday readings we hear at Mass. Share Your Faith Review the Scripture verse from the Gospel of Mark on page 9. How can you proclaim the Gospel in daily interactions with others? Write your ideas on the lines.

Scan the QR code for the answer to the question and to access other Christ Our Life resources for families. 1 As Catholics, we gather to hear the Word of God and celebrate the sacraments. The Holy Spirit sets our hearts on fire and sends us forth as disciples to live our faith. “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 Know and Proclaim Read and discuss the introduction and the chart below. When we know the beliefs of our Catholic faith, we can proclaim them through our words and actions. We Know Our Faith We Proclaim Our Faith God reveals himself first in creation. He also reveals himself in deeds and words in Scripture and Tradition as transmitted and interpreted by the Church. As Catholics, we respect and safeguard creation as a gift from God. The responsibility to care for creation is a requirement of our faith. Scripture teaches us about Jesus, the Son of God, sent by the Father to redeem us. Catholics trace the cross with their thumb over their foreheads, lips, and hearts before listening to the Gospel as a sign of their desire to have God’s Word in their minds, on their lips, and in their hearts. The Church’s bishops safeguard and share the sacred deposit. Catholic families often read letters and articles written by bishops. The bishops help Catholics understand what the Church teaches about Jesus. Test Your Catholic Knowledge Fill in the circle that best answers the question. Then discuss the correct answer.
