Following Christ Student Book: Grade 6 Faith and Life 3rd ed. - Paperback

The Faith and Life Third Edition series is a minor update to the Revised Edition series so that all text and liturgical references conform to the implementation of the new Roman Missal. Revised Edition teachers manuals may continue to be used with the Third Edition text and activity books as the changes are relatively few. This Faith amp Life student textbook incorporates the four principal components of catechesis: the Creed, the Commandments, the Sacraments and Liturgy, Prayer and Scripture. But besides giving a clear and comprehensive presentation of our faith, the student textbook is rich in artwork, both original and classical. THEME: The blueprint for a life of love: the law of God, especially in the Ten Commandments, and the presence of Jesus in the Holy Mass. The interaction of the challenges of God s law and his gifts of grace that help us fulfill his law. SEQUENCE: Part 1: The Ten Commandments. Forming the conscience and increasing closeness to God. Part 2: The Holy Mass. An emphasis on the Real Presence and Christ s sacrifice and explanation of the parts of the Mass. Part 3: The Last Things. Death and God s judgment of us, with an emphasis on the great happiness of Heaven. AIM: To help the sixth grade student learn to love the law as Christ did and to cherish and love the Mass as our best prayer to God, and especially to revere and adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
