A Letter Home LOOKING AHEAD Together as a family, scan the QR code with a web-enabled device to view a video about Saint John Neumann. You will learn more about his holiness, preaching, and spiritual writing in the Families in Mission pages for Chapter 3. Signs of Faith We often use images, signs, and symbols to show that we belong to a particular group or community. As Catholics, we also use colors, images, signs, and symbols to show that we belong to a group. We might carry a Bible, pray the Rosary, or wear a crucifix. In this way, we show others that we are part of a group united by our faith. Early Christians had to be careful about being identified as followers of Christ. In the Roman Empire, many people did not think Christians were loyal citizens. If the wrong person found out you were a Christian, your life might be in danger. Christians had to use symbols that only other Christians knew. One of these symbols was the outline of a fish. If two strangers met and one thought the other might be a Christian, he or she would draw a curved line to show the upper half of a fish. If the other person was a Christian, he or she could draw the lower half of the fish to complete the symbol. Why would Christians use the image of a fish? Many early Christians spoke Greek. In Greek, the word fish could also be used as an acronym for “Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Savior.” People who wanted to become Christians during this time studied for as long as a year or two. They would learn about other Christian signs and symbols. They learned of the waters of Baptism. They discovered the meaning of the bread and wine at Mass. They came to know signs of Christian devotion such as the Sign of the Cross. In these ways, they came to belong to the Church. In this unit, children learn about how the Church welcomes people into its community through the sacraments. Children revisit essential chapter content, complete a Your Turn activity, and undertake an interactive chapter review in the Review section of each chapter. At the end of each chapter of this unit, children will also 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 you will find a QR code that you can scan to play the Stump the Shepherd unit review game. 2 Unit 1 Christ Our Life® S SAMPLE
CHAPTER 1 Wonders of the World Check off each experience you have had. ❍ flying in a plane and seeing the world below ❍ feeling the summer sun warm your skin when you climb out of cold water ❍ touching the petals of a flower ❍ hearing a large crowd singing together ❍ looking at the tiny fingers and toes of a newborn baby ❍ listening to the wind blow through the trees on a quiet night Think about how you felt during these experiences. Below, write words that describe your feelings. We Are a Worshiping People We Give Praise to God The wonders of the world and the joys of being alive lead us to praise or adore God. God is all-powerful, creating the universe, freely and with no help, to show his love. We were created to show love as well and to share in God’s truth, goodness, and beauty. God is all-loving. Out of pure love, he gives us life. When we realize God’s greatness and his gifts, our hearts fill with admiration and thanks. Sometimes we want to shout with joy to God. We want to give God glory because he is great and good and has done wonderful things. We honor God above all else with our worship. God’s Word Great and wonderful are your works, Lord God almighty. Just and true are your ways, O king of the nations. Who will not fear you, Lord, or glorify your name? For you alone are holy. Revelation 15:3–4 We Are a Worshiping People Chapter 1 3 SAMPLE E
All Are Called to Worship In all places and times, people have believed in a god or gods. They have built temples and monuments. They have prayed and chanted praise to their gods. They have offered sacrifices, or gifts, in worship. This is not surprising. Humans are religious by our very nature and calling. The one true God, our Creator and Lord, created us to be with him in happiness. Humans can reason and know of the one true God by his creation. But people lost their way and needed help to come to know God. Out of love, the one true God revealed himself. He wants everyone to live with him in love, but he chose the people of Israel as his Chosen People. God taught them how to live as his people and to worship him. The Israelites responded to God’s love. They offered sacrifices to him. Families set aside a place of prayer in their homes. In a building of prayer, called a synagogue, they praised and thanked God for all he had done for them. They listened to God’s Word in the Sacred Scriptures. The Son of God was born among the Chosen People. Jesus was the promised Savior whom the Chosen People had been hoping for. Christian worship grew out of Jewish worship. The first Christians worshiped as Jesus had taught them. They prayed together every day. They prayed the Lord’s Prayer as Jesus had taught them. Their greatest act of worship, though, was the breaking of the bread. In the Eucharist, their thanksgiving and offerings were joined to Jesus’ sacrifice to the Father. Many people do not know the one true God. They do not know that Jesus is the way to the Father or that the Holy Spirit leads and guides us to live as Jesus taught. We can help lead them to Jesus by our prayers and our love, by talking to them, and by supporting missionaries. Unit 1 We Worship God as Catholic Christians 4 S SAMPLE
We Worship in Many Ways How wonderful it is to belong to God! He made us, and we are his people. God’s love for us is everlasting. We love and honor him above everything and everyone. We worship him in prayer, loving service, and sacrifice. Worship is our way of telling God that we know we belong to him. In personal prayer, we adore God as the Holy One who created us. We ask him as our Savior to forgive us. We ask him as the Holy Spirit to make us holy. We thank God for all he gives to us. We pray together with our family at home and with our Church family in the parish. Whenever we pray, we talk to God and give him time to talk to us. Through prayer, God calls us to encounter him and his mystery. Every day, God has new things to share with us. Everything God has made tells us something about his great power and love, but we sometimes miss the message. To make sure we do not miss the message, we need to take time to think quietly about God’s greatness. Then we will want to cry out Alleluia! The word Alleluia comes from the Hebrew words hallel and yah. The word hallel means “praise,” and yah is the first syllable of “Yahweh,” or God. Together they form Alleluia, which means “praise God.” A Moment with Jesus Pause for a moment and silently read this prayer of Blessed Charles de Foucauld. Lord, one more day to love you! In your own words, thank Jesus for the gift of faith and the chance to love and praise him. Words to Know synagogue The Jewish place of assembly for prayer, instruction, and study of the Torah Alleluia A prayer of praise to God I Give Praise Think how great and good God is. Check the ways you will give him praise. ❍ by praying every morning and evening ❍ by taking time to see the beauty in creation ❍ by being quiet and listening to hear God speak in my heart ❍ by talking with God about what happens each day ❍ by often repeating short prayers such as “My God, I love you” What else can you do to praise God? Write your answers below. We Are a Worshiping People Chapter 1 5 SAMPLE E
We Worship Through Prayer One of the most important ways we worship is through prayer. When we pray, we raise our hearts and minds to God. We can pray alone or with others. When we gather as a parish community, we adore and honor God by celebrating the Church’s official public prayer: the liturgy. The Church invites us to pray regularly through daily prayer, the liturgy, the sacraments, and special feasts. Psalm 95 tells about how important it is to worship through prayer. We Worship Through Service We also worship God by our good deeds. When we treat everyone and everything with love and respect, we give honor to God. We worship him by the loving service we give to others. God’s Word Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord; cry out to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with a song of praise, joyfully sing out our psalms. For the Lord is the great God, the great king over all gods, Whose hand holds the depths of the earth; who owns the tops of the mountains. The sea and dry land belong to God, who made them, formed them by hand. Enter, let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the Lord who made us.

Continued on next page. 1 Know and Proclaim Read and discuss the introduction and the chart below. We become closer to God as we learn about our Catholic faith. We share our faith to become closer to God and others. We Know Our Faith We Proclaim Our Faith God revealed himself to the people of Israel and taught them to worship the one true God. Christian worship grew out of Jewish worship. As Catholics, we call our worship liturgy. It is what we do together as the Church community when we celebrate the Eucharist and other sacraments. Worshiping as a community strengthens our faith. God continually calls us to meet him in prayer. We respond by raising our hearts and minds to him, and we grow closer to him. As Catholics, we find opportunities to pray at various times. Praying before sleep allows us to thank God for the gifts he has given us during the day and to ask for strength for the next day. Jesus commanded his disciples to love and serve others, especially those in need. We serve others in many ways: for example, by building homes for people who are homeless, tending to those who are sick, and volunteering for disaster relief. Test Your Catholic Knowledge Fill in the circle that best completes the sentence. Then discuss the correct answer. Catholics’ greatest act of worship is ❍ prayer. ❍ service. ❍ the Eucharist. ❍ the Nicene Creed. As Catholics, we gather to hear the Gospel 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 9 Christ Our Life® Grade 5 SAMPLE E
Families IN MISSION A Catholic to Know Invite one family member to read aloud about Saint Matthew. Then discuss how his example can guide our lives. The Gospel tells us that when Jesus called Matthew to be his apostle, Matthew immediately left behind his material possessions and followed Jesus. We know very little about Matthew other than what we learn in the Scriptures. Yet we know that he preached the Good News of Christ, and he remained faithful to Jesus his whole life. We are grateful for the Gospel of Matthew, in which he proclaims Jesus as Messiah. Matthew’s example shows us how to serve others by preaching the Good News. 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 do I live my Catholic beliefs?” My Way to Faith • I love and honor God above all else. • I participate faithfully in the celebration of the Eucharist on Sundays. • I take seriously Jesus’ call to love and serve others through my prayers, words, and actions. • I make time to pray and think quietly about God’s greatness. • I support missionaries with my prayers and family contributions. Share Your Faith Compose a short prayer of thanksgiving to God that can be repeated throughout your day. Write your prayer on the lines. Invite a friend to pray your prayer for one day.

CHAPTER 2 Jesus Offered Perfect Worship to the Father Have you ever loved an animal so much you wished you could talk with it? Imagine love 100 times greater, and that’s still not close to the love God has for humanity, his greatest creation. The Father loves us so much that he created us in his image with a soul, the spiritual part of us that will live forever. Only humans are called to share in his divine life. To make this possible, he sent his Son to earth, and the Holy Spirit made it known that Jesus was the Son of God. Through Jesus Christ, fully human and fully divine, we can share in God’s divine life. Our share in God’s life is called grace. We can’t do anything to earn or merit grace. However, it was part of God’s plan to offer it to us and give us the choice to cooperate with his action in our lives. Jesus became human to redeem us. He lived, suffered, died, and rose to save us from the power of sin and death. We can’t repair our relationship with God by ourselves. We need to share in Jesus’ life, which the Holy Spirit makes happen through the Church. Because of this, we are able to enjoy a life greater than our human life. Jesus devoted his every word and action to God. He worshiped the Father through perfect prayer and loving service to others. Finally, Jesus offered the greatest act of worship: his sacrifice on the Cross at Calvary. Through his life, Jesus gave us grace. By the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, we first receive that grace at Baptism. Through grace, we are made like Christ. The Holy Spirit helps us follow Jesus. Jesus calls us to join him in prayer, loving service, and sacrifice. The more closely we follow Jesus, the more we grow in grace and the more we are united with him. Jesus Calls Us to Worship A Moment with Jesus Grace helps us live our Christian life and follow Jesus more closely. Take a moment to think about the ways you follow Jesus. In your own words, tell Jesus about the things you do to love and serve other people. Ask Jesus to help you grow in grace and live united with him. Thank Jesus for his example of loving service.

Scripture References Scripture references are written so that you can easily find passages in the Bible. Mark 1:35–39 is a Scripture reference. This is what it means: MARK 1:35–39 The reference is read as “Mark, chapter one, verses thirty-five through thirty-nine.” Practice reading aloud these references: • LUKE 19:1–10 • 2 CORINTHIANS 4:7–12 • GENESIS 2:4–7 • MARK 15:42–47 • ROMANS 11:33–36 Jesus in the Gospels We can learn from the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John how Jesus worshiped the Father. The word gospel means “good news.” The Gospels are the written Good News that Jesus saved us from sin and death. The Gospel of Mark provides some examples of how Jesus worshiped. Find Mark 1:35–39 in a Bible and read it to see how Jesus worshiped through prayer, peaceful solitude, and more. BOOK CHAPTER VERSES Scripture Search Use a Bible to look up and read these passages.

Jesus Shows Us the Father’s Love Jesus came to earth to show us the Father’s love and to save us. We read in Scripture that he did many wonderful things for people who came to him with faith. Jesus • offered them life, • laid hands upon them and healed them, • fed them, • forgave their sins and spoke words of peace, and • invited people to be his followers and to share in God’s life. Finally, Jesus showed the depth of God’s love for us when he died on the Cross and rose to new life. Jesus Acts in the Sacraments Jesus is still at work in the world today. Through the Holy Spirit and his Church, he continues to care for our needs. He continues to offer us grace and divine life through the sacraments. The seven sacraments are sacred signs Jesus gave his Church to help us encounter him and receive from the Holy Spirit a share in divine life. In the Eastern Catholic Churches—churches that developed in the East and are in union with the Roman Catholic Church—the sacraments are called mysteries. They are actions of Jesus and his Church. The sacraments fall into three categories: Sacraments of Initiation Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist Sacraments of Healing Penance and Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick Sacraments at the Service of Communion Matrimony, Holy Orders Word to Know Eastern Catholic Churches A group of churches that developed in the Near East (in countries such as Lebanon) that are in union with the Roman Catholic Church but have their own liturgical, theological, and administrative traditions 13 SAMPLE E
Jesus Celebrates the Sacraments We have many celebrations throughout the year. We celebrate birthdays, holidays, and many other special events. Through the years, we continue to use the same words and actions for these celebrations. They are signs that have meaning for us. The words and actions of each sacrament are themselves signs that we can see and hear. These signs bring about the very grace they signify. In the sacraments, Jesus actually nourishes, forgives, and heals us through the priest’s actions and the power of the Holy Spirit. We call these words and actions the rite of the sacrament. In the rite, certain objects are used as signs of the special grace that is offered in each sacrament. Some of the things used are water, oil, bread, and wine. In faith, we believe that Jesus comes to us and gives us special gifts, or graces, in the sacraments. Each time we participate in one of the sacraments, we must be open to the grace Jesus offers. We need to prepare ourselves and be willing to grow and become more like Jesus. We grow closer to Jesus, and he makes us holier through the Holy Spirit. Three sacraments—Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Orders—leave a permanent mark. This permanent mark is called a character. These sacraments can be received only once. The sacraments are part of the liturgy, the Church’s official public prayer and worship. In the liturgy, the Holy Spirit helps us celebrate the wonderful things Jesus Christ has done for us. The liturgy includes the Liturgy of the Hours, which is the name for the daily prayer of the Church. The Liturgy of the Hours contains psalms, readings, and intercessions. It is sometimes called the Divine Office. The original meaning of liturgy was “a public work or service done for the people.” The whole Church community, which is the Body of Christ united with Jesus himself, celebrates the liturgy. The assembly, ordained ministers, and servers each have different roles, and all are important. Christ and the Church show us God’s love through the sacraments. Whenever we celebrate them in faith, we grow in love of God.

The Catholic faith is full of Good News. We live this goodness and make God’s grace visible to everyone we meet. We Know Our Faith We Proclaim Our Faith God’s love for us is so strong that he wants us to share in his divine life. Through his grace, God forgives our sins and helps us live as he wants us to. As Catholics, we remind ourselves in many prayers and devotions that we find God’s grace through Jesus. For example, we pray the Act of Hope to ask God to have mercy on us for our sins. The Gospel is the Good News that God the Father loves us so much that he sent his Son, Jesus, to save us from sin and bring us into a relationship with him. Jesus shows us how to worship the Father. We worship as a way of staying on the path leading to God. Worshiping reminds us of God’s love and gives us the courage to act as he wants us to. Jesus continues to care for us through the sacraments: sacred signs in which we meet Jesus and receive from the Holy Spirit a share in divine life. Catholics use signs, symbols, and rituals to celebrate the sacraments. Through human word and action and the work of the Holy Spirit, the grace of Christ is made visible.

Families IN MISSION A Catholic to Know Invite one family member to read aloud about Saint Vincent de Paul. Then discuss how his example can guide our lives. God reveals his plan in unexpected ways. For Vincent de Paul, a priest in the 1600s in France, the deathbed confession of a peasant helped him realize his mission. Vincent led the Vincentians, priests who took vows of poverty and devoted themselves to rural people who were poor. Vincent de Paul organized wealthy people in Paris to collect funds for missionary projects, hospitals, and relief for war victims. For these reasons, he is the patron saint of charities, with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul founded in his honor. Witness and Share These sentences describe what Catholics believe.

CHAPTER 3 Word to Know Original Sin Our human tendency to sin, which is the result of the sin of Adam and Eve Baptism Is a Celebration of Life What would happen to us if we had no water to drink? What if there was no water for grass, trees, and flowers? Without water, life would soon come to an end. Nothing would grow, and the earth would become a desert. Water produces life and growth. This is one reason why water is a good sign for the Sacrament of Baptism. Baptism makes us adopted children of God and members of the Church. The Holy Spirit dwells in us, and his gifts help us become like Jesus. The water of Baptism reminds us of this wonderful new life of grace God gives us. Water does not just bring forth life. Water also cleanses. Baptism cleanses us from the Original Sin we were born with as members of the human race. It also cleanses us from any sins we have committed. Water in the form of storms and floods can also bring death. This makes water an even more powerful sign for Baptism. In Baptism, we enter into the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. We promise to die to sin and rise to new life in Christ. Dying and rising is a pattern throughout life. We say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. Over and over, we turn from sin to new life. This change from the death of sin to life is called conversion. Baptism is the first sacrament we celebrate. It is also the first and primary sacrament of forgiveness. Baptism marks us forever as Christians, dedicating us for worship. It cannot be repeated. Baptism calls us to be Jesus’ disciples, committed to spreading the Good News and living for God’s kingdom. Baptism Welcomes Us into the Christian Community Baptism Welcomes Us into the Christian Community Chapter 3 19 SAMPLE E
Baptism Initiates Us We enter the Church through faith and Baptism. An adult who wishes to become a member of the Church and share in its mission enters a program called the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA). Through this program, this adult, called a catechumen, prepares to receive all three Sacraments of Initiation. The Catholic community helps catechumens experience Catholic life, worship, and ministry. In the OCIA, catechumens learn about the Catholic faith. They are preparing for Baptism. Catechumens then decide whether to continue the process to become new persons in Christ. Once they make the decision, they are anointed with the oil of catechumens. This oil strengthens them on their path to initiation into the Church. During the Easter Vigil, the catechumens celebrate the three Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. With the other members of the Catholic Church, they declare their belief in Jesus and his teachings. They are called to love God the Father and others as Jesus did. They are subject to Church laws and are invited to worship God in prayer and service. They can celebrate Jesus’ love in the sacraments, especially in the Eucharist. The Eastern Catholic Churches celebrate Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist in one liturgy for infants, children, and adults. This highlights the unity of the Sacraments of Initiation. Sacramentals Help Us Every time we bless ourselves with holy water, we are reminded of our new life in Christ. We remember that Jesus is with us. Holy water is a sacramental. The Sign of the Cross is another sacramental. Sacramentals are words, actions, and objects blessed by the Church that bring us closer to God. How much they help us depends on the way we use them.

The Church Community Celebrates Baptism At Baptism, people enter the Church community. The Church wants to make them feel welcome. When infants are brought to be baptized, the priest or deacon introduces them by name and welcomes them with joy. Many Catholics are baptized into the faith of the Church as infants or young children. The Church does this because Baptism is a grace and pure gift we do not earn. The priest or deacon claims the infants for Christ by tracing the Sign of the Cross on their foreheads. Then he invites each infant’s parents and godparents to do the same. This reminds the parents that Jesus saved us by the Cross and that their children belong to God. It reminds them to help their children live as children of God. Next, the priest or deacon reads from Scripture. He explains the readings and the meaning of Baptism. Everyone prays for those who are to be baptized and prays a litany of the saints. The priest or deacon prays that the infants will be freed from sin and strengthened against evil. The infants are anointed with the oil of catechumens and brought to the baptismal font. As the priest or deacon blesses the water, we hear about the wonderful ways God has used water. The prayer recalls that Baptism gives us a share in Jesus’ Death and Resurrection. May the power of the Holy Spirit, O Lord, we pray, come down through your Son into the fullness of this font, so that all who have been buried with Christ by Baptism into death may rise again to life with him. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Then the parents and godparents tell everyone present that they reject Satan and his ways. They profess their faith in Christ Jesus and in his Church. They tell the priest or deacon that they want their child to be baptized in this same faith. A Moment with Jesus Spend a moment reflecting quietly on the celebration of Baptism. Pray a prayer of thanksgiving for those who first taught you about Jesus. Thank Jesus for calling you to be a member of his Church. Baptism Welcomes Us into the Christian Community Chapter 3 21 SAMPLE E
A Child Is Baptized You were probably welcomed into the Church community as a baby. Because you received new life when you were baptized, the day of your Baptism is your birthday as a Christian. It is a day to remember and celebrate. In Baptism, the priest or deacon calls the child by name and says, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. As he says this, he pours the holy water over the infant three times, or he lowers the infant into the water. The words and the water are the signs that bring about new life in Christ. After Baptism, the infant is a new member of the Church. He or she is anointed with Chrism, an oil blessed by the bishop. This is a sign that the baptized baby is now a member of God’s family. A white garment is then put on the newly baptized. It is a sign that the child has been clothed in Christ. Family and friends of the baptized are reminded that their example should help the newly baptized live free from sin. Then a candle is lighted from the paschal candle. It is given to the family. This sign is a reminder that in Baptism, we receive the light of Christ and share in his life. The parents and godparents are told to keep the light burning brightly. They must help their child walk always as a child of God. They must help him or her keep the flame of faith alive. Then, when the Lord comes, their child will be ready to meet him with all the saints. At the end of the celebration, everyone prays the Lord’s Prayer. A blessing is prayed for the mother, the father, and everyone present.

Families IN MISSION A Catholic to Know Invite one family member to read aloud about Saint John Neumann. Then discuss how his example can guide our lives. John Neumann was born in 1811 in what is now the Czech Republic. As a young man, he was ordained a priest in America. John became a missionary in New York, Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio, where he shared his love of God with others. As bishop of Philadelphia, he opened nearly 100 Catholic schools. Gifted with organizational skills, John brought teaching communities of sisters and brothers into the city. Known for his holiness, spiritual writing, and preaching, Saint John Neumann teaches us that a quiet and humble person can work hard for God and make a difference. 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 do I live my Catholic beliefs?” My Way to Faith • I show that I have been united to Christ by the ways I trust the Father and treat others. • I am called in Baptism to be Jesus’ disciple and to give witness to God’s kingdom. • I am welcomed into the community of the Catholic Church in Baptism. • Through sacramentals, I grow closer to God.
