Our Life in the Church
THEME:
The history of the Church--its
founding by Christ, its birth in the Holy Spirit,
the marks of the one, true Church, the Fathers
and Doctors of the Church, the saints and the
role of the religious and laity up to the present.
The structure of the Church Jesus planned, the
role of the Magisterium, the clergy, the religious
and the laity and our own vocations.
SEQUENCE:
Part 1: The
Church. Christ's plan for the Church's structure
and its necessary attributes; the Church's teaching
authority. The early Church: Martyrs, Fathers,
Saints and Mary.
Part 2: The Christian in the World. Religious
and laity, Holy Orders, Marriage, and family
life; call to holiness.
Part 3: The Last Things. Death, Judgment,
the end of the world.
AIM:
To help the teenager know
and love the Church as Christ's Body and the
Magisterium as the sure voice of Jesus, so that
the young person may be strengthened through
his life in the Church to face the confusion
and secularism of modern-day society.
