Theme 2: Am I strong enough? ................................................................................................................44 Because God has given us the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are capable of living as Christ calls us to live and to love as Christ calls us to love. Theme 3: How do I know I’m on the right track?.....................................................................................52 The fruits of the Holy Spirit are present when we are doing God’s will. Theme 4: What does it take to really win? ...............................................................................................60 The Trinity reveals God’s nature as always relating in love – “really winning” means being able to stand in solidarity with others. 2 Year 8 – Stand By Me Unit 2: We believe in the holy Church Theme 1: Who wants to be holy? .............................................................................................................72 God makes things holy by giving them a special purpose within the divine plan. We are holy when we live according to our purpose. The sacraments reveal God’s loving action and enable us to participate in that action. Theme 2: How do I fit in? .........................................................................................................................80 Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist connect us to God and the Christian community, give us purpose and offer us strength and support. Theme 3: What can I do when my life seems to be falling apart? ...........................................................90 The sacraments of Reconciliation and Anointing bring God’s healing touch through the Christian community. Unit 3: We believe in one catholic and apostolic Church Theme 1: Why bother with church? .......................................................................................................102 The task of the Church and all its members is to continue the work of Christ by making the love of God available to all. Theme 2: What can I hope for when I give? ..........................................................................................116 Christians are called to be apostolic servants of Christ. Marriage and Holy Orders model faithful service. Unit 4: We believe in the communion of saints Theme 1: Does death destroy everything? ..............................................................................................126 Death cannot destroy the bonds of Christian community and love. Those who have died are a part of our community, just in a new way. Theme 2: What makes a person’s life successful?...................................................................................134 Saints are those who recognize God’s great love for them and act accordingly despite difficulties. Each of us is called to be a saint. Unit 5: We believe in…the forgiveness of sins Theme 1: We know these rules. Why do we have to learn them again? .................................................148 As our lives change, the Ten Commandments have different things to teach us. Theme 2: What’s right? What’s wrong? ..................................................................................................152 Sin is deliberately falling short of what we know Jesus would ask us to do. Theme 3: How can we work it out?.........................................................................................................162 We must first recognize our sin. True sorrow consists in admitting our wrong, trying to undo the damage, deciding not to do it again, and asking for forgiveness. Theme 4: Why should I confess my sins to anyone besides God? .........................................................170 The priest, through the words of absolution, reconciles us both to God and to the Christian community. 3 Unit 6: We believe in…the resurrection of the body Theme 1: Who wants this body?..............................................................................................................182 God created and redeems both our bodies and our souls. Theme 2: What’s sex worth? ...................................................................................................................194 Our sexuality is part of what makes us complete persons made in the image of God. Sexual love should be total, lifelong and life-giving within the sacrament of Marriage. Theme 3: Can suffering be meaningful?..................................................................................................200 In suffering we can find God. Jesus calls us to reach out to those who are in need. Unit 7: We believe in…life everlasting Theme 1: How is my life connected? ......................................................................................................208 We are called by God to live life to the fullest in harmony with the rest of creation. Theme 2: How can I make the world more peaceful?.............................................................................218 The value of human life requires that we oppose all things that seek to harm or destroy that life, and to honour the dignity inherent in every human life. Theme 3: Do I live justly? .......................................................................................................................230 The love of God and the Golden Rule are the foundation for just relationships. Unit 8: Amen Theme 1: So what difference does belief make? .....................................................................................246 The Creed reminds us who we are and who we are called to become. When we say “amen” we accept God’s guidance in both our being and our becoming. Theme 2: Why go to Mass? .....................................................................................................................256 The Eucharist gives us and the entire faith community the strength to live out what we profess in the Creed. Theme 3: How shall we celebrate? ..........................................................................................................262 The “theme” of every Mass is Christ’s Passion, death and resurrection. In planning the liturgy we do not develop new themes; we choose to emphasize different aspects of the central mystery and the way it touches our lives.

Four reasons have mainly weighed with me. The first is, that my experience as an examiner of candidates for Holy Orders has convinced me that many of them obtain their knowledge of the first principles of the religion which they propose to teach, in a very unsatisfactory and haphazard way. This is partly due to the absence, at least until lately, of satisfactory text books. Few candidates attempt to read Pearson's great standard work on the subject, and most of those who have attempted it find him very abstruse and difficult to follow. Moreover, it must be admitted that in a good many respects, in spite of the still inestimable value of the work, Pearson's manner and matter are out of date.

Prior to our arrival, my grandmother did everything she could think of to make sure our stay would be perfect. She put candy in little containers everywhere and bought cheap comic books for us. She made a huge jar of bubble mixture out of dish soap and created "magic bubble wands" out of old hangers. As I grew older, I came to realize that my grandparents were poor, though I would never have guessed it back then. Every evening before bedtime, I'd sit out on the small front porch with my grandmother and blow soap bubbles. Sometimes the evening summer breeze would blow the bubbles back to us, and they would land on my cheek with a tiny pop. I'd screech with laughter and my grandmother would sometimes say, "That's a whisper from Jesus." "What's he whispering about?" I'd ask.

  • Eric Clapton
    ERIC CLAPTON BIOGRAFIA Eric Patrick Clapton nasceu em 30/03/1945 em Ripley, Inglaterra. Ganhou a sua primeira guitarra aos 13 anos e se interessou pelo Blues americano de artistas como Robert Johnson e Muddy Waters. Apelidado de Slowhand, é considerado um dos melhores guitarristas do mundo. O reconhecimento de Clapton só começou quando entrou no “Yardbirds”, banda inglesa de grande influência que teve o mérito de reunir três dos maiores guitarristas de todos os tempos em sua formação: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck e Jimmy Page. Apesar do sucesso que o grupo fazia, Clapton não admitia abandonar o Blues e, em sua opinião, o Yardbirds estava seguindo uma direção muito pop. Sai do grupo em 1965, quando John Mayall o convida a juntar-se à sua banda, os “Blues Breakers”. Gravam o álbum “Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton”, mas o relacionamento com Mayall não era dos melhores e Clapton deixa o grupo pouco tempo depois. Em 1966, forma os “Cream” com o baixista Jack Bruce e o baterista Ginger Baker. Com a gravação de 4 álbuns (“Fresh Cream”, “Disraeli Gears”, “Wheels Of Fire” e “Goodbye”) e muitos shows em terras norte americanas, os Cream atingiram enorme sucesso e Eric Clapton já era tido como um dos melhores guitarristas da história. A banda separa-se no fim de 1968 devido ao distanciamento entre os membros. Neste mesmo ano, Clapton a convite de seu amigo George Harisson, toca na faixa “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” do White Album dos Beatles. Forma os “Blind Faith” em 1969 com Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker e Rick Grech, que durou por pouco tempo, lançando apenas um album.

If we could just relax, and maybe just sit quietly, and stay still long enough, we could be shaped into exactly what God A SPECIAL APPEAL intended. Ready as a sturdy pinch pot to live the awareness of incarnation! But like Isaiah, I wish that knowing God in our midst from the Executive Director just took a little silent reflection time. Hearing this lament – “Why do you let us wander, O God?” – I must smile, because I know my hunger for God, yet how willful I am to do it MY way. Dear Companions on the Journey, prophetic edge Why must we wander? Can’t God just tell us all what to do? For better or for worse, even when Jesus walked the earth, this of the Church. wasn’t the plan. Our God of love won’t come stomping down the heavenly staircase to set straight our wandering. Paul tells reetings of Peace!
