A-2-09 CELEBRATING
THE SEASONS OF ADVENT AND LENT ADVENT: CELEBRATING THE SEASON (A-2-09) The season of Advent begins a new Church year. During the preparation time of Advent, we are invited to change and grow more like Jesus. During these four weeks, we prepare for Jesus' coming in our daily lives as we wait together for the fullness of light to come into our world at Christmas. The custom of the Advent wreath is the focus of this program. In the light of the Advent wreath, we remember, live and hope for the one who has already come. We warm our hearts to live justly, love tenderly and walk humbly with God. The simple Advent wreath tells the story of a people yesterday and today who yearn for more light in their life. This program also includes other Advent activities and traditions such as the Jesse Tree, an Advent Friend, Straw for a Crib, and an Advent House to help young people appreciate the spiritual dimension of the Advent and Christmas season. LENT: CELEBRATING THE SEASON (L-1-29) We begin our journey through the season of Lent by being marked with ashes in the sign of the Cross on our forehead with these words: "Keep Lent and turn to God with all your heart." The program explores customs, traditions, prayers and ways we keep Lent as we walk together on the path to Jerusalem, preparing for the new life of Easter. During these forty days, we pray, we fast, we do good works, we remember. We are invited to deepen our understanding of Lent as a time to turn to God and to look at Jesus and the way he lived his life. This program challenges us to speak of Jesus in our lives today. As we choose ways to become more like Jesus, we continue our walk with others through these days of Lent, the events of Holy Week into the Easter Resurrection. - Franciscan Communications

This session opens with an explanation of why all catechesis should
be centered on Jesus Christ and his teachings in the Scriptures.

they are contained in the Beatitudes. The three gospel values
we focus on here are: poverty of spirit; the call to holiness; and
peacemaking. -Brennan Hill & William Madges

Initiation In The Life of Christ In
this session, we first deal with the crucial question: "What is
a sacrament?" We look at Jesus as the primary sacrament,
the true visible embodiment of the presence and power of God.
Then we discuss two sacraments of initiation: baptism and
confirmation. We also share an explanation of baptism and
practical teaching tips in this session. We look at
confirmation as a sealing of baptism and a special celebration of the
presence and power of the Spirit of the Lord, and we give special
attention to preparation of the young for confirmation.

In BEATITUDES, OUR BLESSINGS, Kathleen O'Connell Chesto invites us to look at the beatitudes in just this way.
