| | |severe hardship or very advanced age or illness, even the one hour can be dispensed. | | |

| | | | | |

| | |Discuss – What is fasting? (It is important to stress that fasting is something that | | |

| | |we do voluntarily). Explain to the children that the word ‘breakfast’ actually means| | |

| | |‘to break the fast’. |Bibles | |

| | |As Catholics we fast for one hour before communion. Why do you think we do this? It | | |

| | |is meant to help us prepare to receive the body and blood of Jesus. | | |

| | |Fasting appears many times in the Bible. When did Jesus fast? (40 days and 40 night | | |

| | |in the desert = Lent). He also gave instruction on fasting. Read Matthew 6:16-18. | | |

Seven Sacrament Connection

Do you know the seven sacraments? Sacrament is the name for the seven special signs of God’s presence in our lives. Sacraments are rooted in the life and ministry of Jesus and help us to recognise God in our everyday actions.

To describe each sacrament, connect the sacrament in column A with a phrase in column B and in column C. The first has been done for you.

Alternatively this can be written into your RERC jotter.

The Creed

Cut and paste the words of The Creed in the correct order in your RERC jotter. Your teacher will put the correct order on the whiteboard for you to check your answers.

St Paul

Feast Day: January 25

Paul was born at Tarsus in Cilicia (Turkey) lived around the time of Jesus but never met Him. Paul was first called Saul. As a young man, he was a very bright student of the Hebrew religion. He was a Pharisee and a tent-maker by trade.

He hated the Christians. When he grew older he tortured and harassed the followers of Jesus. He even helped at the stoning of St. Stephen the martyr.

In the Bible's Acts of the Apostles, we read about Saul's amazing conversion (chapters 9, 22, 26). What happened?

One day, Paul was on his way to the city of Damascus to hunt down more Christians. Suddenly, a great light shone all around him and he was knocked to the ground. He was struck blind; and he heard a voice say, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"

Saul answered, "Who are you, Sir?" And the voice said, "I am Jesus, the one you are persecuting." Saul was shocked and confused. After a few seconds, he asked, "What do you want me to do?" Jesus told him to continue on to Damascus and there he would be told what to do.

At that moment, through the power of God, Saul received the gift to believe in Jesus. Weak and trembling, he reached out for help and his companions led him into Damascus. The light had blinded him temporarily. Now that he was blind he could really "see" the truth.

And Jesus had come personally to meet him, to invite him to conversion. Saul became a great lover of Jesus. He was baptized and changed his name to Paul to show that he was a changed person. Now he thought only of helping everyone know and love Jesus, the Saviour.

We know Saul by his Roman name of Paul. He is called "the apostle." He travelled all over the world, preaching the Good News and led so many people to Jesus. He worked and suffered.

His enemies tried to kill him several times but nothing could stop him. When he was old and tired, he was once again put in prison and sentenced to die. Still St. Paul was happy to suffer and even die for Christ.

This great apostle wrote wonderful letters to the Christians. They are in the Bible. These letters, called epistles, are read often during the Liturgy of the Word at Mass.

INSTRUCTION FOR ‘THE CONVESTION OF SAINT PAUL’ TASK

(Following Two Pages)

1. Cut out both pages - in order to align the pages correctly and fold them. The pages do have to be cut on the outer line.

2. If you do not want the pages to flop, put a dot of glue on the 4 corners ON THE BACK OF ONE PAGE.

3. Keeping both pages up, glue them back to back.

4. With the Paul picture facing up, fold over the right side on the dotted line. (You will see the zap picture now)

5. Fold the left side over the zap picture. (you will see Saul on top) The booklet is now in the right order to begin your discoveries in this story.

6. With your Bible, Start investigating who Saul was (Cover)

and turn the whole thing over and research the two more pieces of information about who Saul was and what he did. Write in the answers in your own words - Do not copy from the Bible.

[pic]NOW YOU KNOW SAUL'S BACKGROUND. You could stop and discuss and or compare findings at this point.

7. Open the cover (Saul) page. You should see the zap image. Dig into your Bible and find out what happened. Write it in your own words - Do not copy from the Bible.

8. Turn over the whole thing. Find and complete "zapped for a purpose".

[pic]NOW YOU KNOW ABOUT A BIG EVENT THAT CHANGED SAUL'S LIFE. You could stop and discuss and or compare findings at this point.

9. Open both flaps to see Paul. Start on the RIGHT and find out how his experience changed him and what happened next.

[pic]Paul became the greatest disciple to the Gentiles, visiting them on his missionary journeys, staring churches, strengthening churches, and writing letters to help them along. 10. Stop and discuss and or compare findings with the others in the class at this point. Do you all agree?

Be Thou My Vision Hymn

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art

Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;

Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;

Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;

Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;

Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:

Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,

Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:

Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,

High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,

May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,

Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

God from God, Light from Light,

True God form true God

Begotten not made, consubstantial with the Father;

Through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come.

I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.
