Today, we began the Liturgical Year unit. Outside of the religious world, we all follow the regular calendar (January-December). But the Church has a special year, called the liturgical year, to mark the celebration of her liturgies and feast days. The liturgical year is built around important historical events—such as Jesus’ birth, death, and Resurrection—in which God’s saving power was made real. The liturgies in the liturgical year help us remember God’s
saving power made real in those historical events. They celebrate that God is saving us in the present moment, and they look forward to the time when God’s plan of salvation will reach its ultimate fulfillment in Christ’s Second Coming.

Today's classwork/ homework: Complete the liturgical year chart with colors (see the picture to the left) and complete page 272 in your workbook.

Hello!

Below is a list a items to study for:

- Chapter One- know all four lessons, along with the 5 Proofs and who invented them.
- Chapter Two- Scripture and Tradition
Chapter Three- You don't have your test back, but the information will be pretty similar. KNow the NIcene Creed and the Luke and Matthew Bible stories from your text (Great Commandment, Love your Enemies). Know the messages of each.

Here are some online sites to help you out!

Today in class we reviewed all sections of the Nicene Creed, which is the prayer that reflects all our beliefs as Catholics!

So, if any non-Catholic asked what you believe in, you'd take a deep breath of air and spill out the Nicene Creed (you can find an online copy on my Resources Page).

Study for your quiz tomorrow. It's fill in the blank.

The video below will help you study. The images are profound and so is the music. Good luck!

This eight minute video below does a fantastic job explaining how the Trinity exists as one operating God, although many Persons. The video is a bit deep and may go over your head a bit, but it really makes sense if you pause it and let it digest!

What's even cooler is the main speaker of just a few years older than you!

Today's Classwork: Rewrite the poem on page 33 using your own verbs, nouns, adjectives, experiences, and outlooks.The format must be the same. Please type and follow my directions for proper formatting from my personal video below. You may decorate if you wish. Please give it a title.

Homework: Complete for homework.

Blog Post- Watch the embedded video below. There are many ideas, concepts, symbols, and Bible references made here. Post a one sentence response regarding something you learned from these speakers. It MUST be something different than the previous posters. Read everyone's comments to make sure you doen't repeat.
