A GUIDE TO CONFESSION
How to go to Confession

1. After the priest greets you in the name of Christ, make the sign of the cross. You say: "Bless me Father for I have sinned. It has been (state how long) since my last confession. These are my sins."

2. Tell your sins simply and honestly to the priest. You might even want to discuss the circumstances and the root causes of your sins and ask the priest for advice or direction.
3.  Listen to the advice the priest gives you and accept the penance (prayer or prayers) from him. Then recite Act of Contrition for your sins.

4. The priest will then dismiss you with the words of praise: "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good. You respond: "For His mercy endures forever." The priest will then conclude with: "The Lord has freed you from your sins. Go in peace." And you respond by saying: "Thanks be to God."

5. Spend some time with Our Lord thanking and praising Him for the gift of His mercy.



Act of Contrition:

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you,
and I detest all   my sins, because of Your just punishments,
but most of all because they offend You, my God,
who are all-good and deserving of all my love.
I  firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace,
to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. 
Amen

Unit II: We Believe In
God

 2.1 Whom Do We
Trust? 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpnQoCZ2YSk 
  
Key Concepts:

  • Living
    life to the full demands that I am willing to go beyond  myself to take
    risks.

  • To  be a person who believes is to
    be a person who is willing to make  commitments.

  • God  is the only one to whom I can
    entrust myself completely and without reservation  (that is, without holding
    anything back).

  • Trust is not a single act; rather
      it is an ongoing attitude toward life and relationships.

  • My  beliefs shape who I am and the
    choices I make. I must understand my beliefs in  order to understand myself and
    others.

   
On page 26 we have  a picture. What does it say to you?

Beginning on that  page we have a quite lengthy CHORAL READING of the story of Abraham and Sarah.  (Don't be frightened by it!!!) They are the people God called to be our parents  in faith. We also see their journey through doubts and questions. They had God's  word that they were to be father and mother to many descendents. However, they  had a problem: Abraham was old and Sarah could not have children - she was  barren!!! How is God going to make them parents to many generations of  descendants? Several times they tried to take things into their own hands to
  make that happen, but God kept bringing them back to remembering and trusting in  the promise God had made to them.


It would be best  if you and another person, or, even better, if as many people as possible in  your family or your friends, would read this CHORAL READING out loud. That will  give you the best sense of what the story is about!


Below are a few questions that may help you as you read each section. If possible, discuss these  questions with someone. I do not ask you to send me your answers to these questions - unless you choose to do so. 
 
 
  Unit 2.1 Assignment 1:
 SECTION 1: 
 
1. What did God  promise Abram and Sarai?
2. What did God ask them to do?
3. What did they do to show that they trusted God?
4. What did they do that showed that they did not completely trust God?


SECTION 2: 
1. What question does Abram ask God and why does he ask God that question?
2. How does God respond?
3. Why did Abram sleep with Hagar?
4. Why did God give Abram and Sarai new names?
5. How would you describe Abraham and Sarah's attitude toward God at the end of this section?
6. How would you describe God's attitude toward Abraham and Sarah at this point?


SECTION  3:  
1. Why did  Abraham  give Sarah to King Abimelich?
2. Why was this a problem?
3. What is the  significance of Isaac's name?
4. Why did Abraham prepare an altar of  sacrifice for his son?
5. What is significant about the faith of Abraham and  Sarah in their relationship with God?
6. How did Abraham  and Sarah's relationship with God change over time?
7. What risks did  Abraham and Sarah take because of their relationship with God?
8. What risks  did Sarah take because of her relationship with Abraham and with God?
9. What  risks are we asked to take in our relationship with God?
10. What risks did  God accept in choosing Abraham and Sarah and making a covenant with  them?

 (Note: Abraham  and Sarah always involved God in their lives. When they made a poor choice, they  did not make excuses or run from God - they simply began again in trust. Even  when they questioned, Abraham and Sarah still did as God asked).

(Their understanding of trust changed. They stopped trying to force God's plan to happen faster. They stopped trying to bend it to suit their own needs). 


If  you wish to send this to me ... Send your work to me with the rest of the assignments in Unit 2.   I  would be happy to receive 
it!!!! 
 
  Unit 2.1 Assignment 2:

A. Read  the  stories: "The Abrahams and Sarahs of  Today" on pages 32 - 35. 

For ONE  of these  stories (of James of of Agnes), answer the following questions: (send  me your  responses along with the whole of Unit 2). Please STATE which one you  are  writing about.

1. What can we  learn from this story? (either James OR  Agnes)

2. How do  you  think they would define trust?

3. What do  you  think they would name as the risks of trusting?

B.OR:  IN place  of the above assignment:


You may know of  someone who came to Canada as a refugee. Ask them questions like the following  (or any others that seem appropriate):


1. What risks  did  you take to leave your homeland and to come to Canada?

2. Who did  you  have to trust? Why?

3. Were you ever disappointed in the trust you put  into a person or group?


Write a summary report of your interview. Send your work to me with the rest of the assigned in Unit  2.  
  Unit 2.1 Assignment 3: 

Do  EITHER A OR B

a  resume (a report that you could submit) and include it with this  assignment.

trust.

On page 36 is St. Theresa's Prayer of  Trust. Spend some time with it and pray it. In your JOURNAL reflect on  this prayer. Write the words of the prayer that struck you most, or the feelings  you experienced in the prayer. You might  like to make a mandala (a circular  image or design created as a religious symbol). The circle represents the  universe and the unity of all creation with the Creator. The design that you put  into it may flow from your response to  this prayer.

 Send  your work to me with the rest of the assigned in Unit  2.

What is Mime?
Mime is where you silently express things. You have to be really good to do a show of mime, as there is no talking, you have to show what you mean by body language. Mime is very emotional and you can express your feelings silently. Mime is a stylised form of drama which creates an illusion of reality.

8.1 What risks are worth taking?

Key Concepts: 

  • Jesus was crucified because he challenged both the religious and    social beliefs
    of his time.

  • Jesus accepted suffering because to have avoided it would have been to deny
    truth and accept injustice.

  • Jesus challenges us to accept suffering, if necessary, in order to  live according to God's plan, a plan in which all people are loved and treated with dignity.

Unit 8.1 Assignment 2: 

Read "Should I Have Kept Quiet?" in your text on pages 144 - 147. Then answer the following questions:
 


1. What risks did Keith take? Why?
2. What were the consequences of his actions?
3. What would the consequences have been if he had chosen not to risk?
4. What similar types of risks have people you know taken?
5. What motivated them?

Journalling:

Write about a risk they have taken because of  something they believe in. (Diamonte Poem Format)

Perhaps, the first half of the peom could explain what the risk is using the specified format and words and the second half of the poem could explain what the consequences could be if the risk wasn't taken.

    A. Image Source  
  • Select an image with good value changes. A good variety of light and dark colors. It should be balanced or you will end up with a picture that is unbalanced.

C. Painting 
1. Using small brushes you are going to paint right over the paper print. You will need to create your palette.  You will need to stay within the same value tones (light and darks) as the picture.


2. Paint light areas first and then move to the darker colors on your palette.


3. Keep your paint palette and brushes you are using on your shelf. I EXPECT you to keep your brushes clean!
