 Chapter 20: Lent 

Opening Prayer: Our Father 

1. We Believe 

• Lent is a special time in the church. 

• During Lent we prepare for Jesus’ death and resurrection

• We remember all that Jesus has done for us

• Lent is also a time where we remember our Baptism 

• As we mentioned in last week’s lesson, One of the things we receive is grace (The gift of God’s life) 

• During Lent we thank and praise Jesus for sharing his life with us 

• During Lent we try to grow closer to Jesus. We: 

• Pray 

• Follow his example 

• Thank God for his great love

• Celebrate God’s forgiveness 

• Help people who are sick, hungry, and lonely

• Although, as followers of Jesus Christ we should always do these things. However, they have a  bigger and special meaning when we do these actions during Lent.

Opening Prayer: Our Father 

Vocabulary: 

        Baptism: The sacrament in which we become children of God and members of the Church

We Believe 

• The Church welcomes new members at Baptism 

• In the picture we can see that Father Marcos and the whole parish are welcoming the Stanik family.

• They are bringing their baby Leo  to celebrate the sacrament of Baptism. 

• During his baptism, leo will become a child of God and a new member of the church.

• Just like Leo, when we were baptized, we also became the children of God and members of the church. 

• Our parish family also welcome  us into the Catholic Church. 

• We can only receive the sacrament of Baptism once. Some people get baptized when they are babies. Others get baptized when they are older as older children, teenagers, and adults. 

• Adults are usually baptized at a celebration the night before Easter Sunday. 

• At Baptism we receive God’s life. 

• Water is an important sign of Baptism 

• Holy Water is water that has been blessed by a priest. The priest traces a cross over the water with his hand. He says a special prayer. Holy water is kept in a special container in the church. 

• During Baptism we are placed in water, or water is poured on us

• The baptism takes place in a special place in the church. This special place is called the baptismal font or pool.

• Water gives us a sign of the life that God gives us. 

• At baptism God gives us a share in his life (Grace)

• We say and do special things to celebrate Baptism 

• The Church celebrates Baptism with special words and actions

• Read along: Leo’s baptism 

• In Baptism we are joined to jesus and one another 

• Read Along: A white garment…

• These same words and actions were part of the celebration of your baptism too!

• As baptized members of the church we help one another to follow jesus. We share in God;s life together and we share our beliefs.
