Chapter 19- We Celebrate God's Forgiveness

Opening Prayer: 1 Hail Mary 

Background 

• What happens when we are baptized? (Our sins are forgiven and we are given the freedom to live as children of God)

• Sometimes we use this freedom to make wrong choices. These choices will sometimes hurt others and yourselves. But it also causes our relationship with God to get weaker. These wrong choices are called sins. 

• Mortal sin: mortal sin is a big sin that breaks your relationship with God. 

• Ex: Disrespecting your mom and dad 

• Venial sin: venial sin is a small sin that weakens your relationship with God.

• Ex: Taking your friend’s pencil without asking  

• Sometimes when we sin, we feel bad about sinning and about hurting others. 

• What do we do when we hurt others?

• When we sin against God, God is always ready to forgive us!

• Jesus tells us about God’s mercy and forgiveness in the story of the prodigal son.

• In this chapter we will be learning about the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Penance.

• By celebrating reconciliation/penance, we are telling God that we are sorry for our sins, we confess our sins to a priest, and we fix our relationship with God. 

• God will always forgive our sins if we are sorry, totally and completely.

• What do we do when we get into a fight with our friends?

• We tell them that we are sorry and we can give them a hug or a small gift to make up for fighting.

• When we make up with someone, we come back together again. This is called reconciliation.

• Now when we sin against God, we can’t give Him a hug or a gift, but we still have to ask for forgiveness.

• When we do small sins, we can pray to God for forgiveness, but for big sins we have to go to confession!

• Kids Explain First Reconciliation - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1gQgDQXGAg

• We can always come back to God and ask for forgiveness in the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation

• In this sacrament we receive and celebrate God’s forgiveness and God                  

• We think about what we have said and done. We are sorry for the times we have not loved God and others.

• We meet with the priest.

• We listen to a story from the Bible about God’s forgiveness.

• We talk to the priest about what we have done. We tell God we are sorry.

• The priest shares God’s forgiveness with us.  

• It might be awhile before you celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation, but we can always pray to God and ask for his forgiveness. 

• Jesus told his followers that it is important to forgive others. Jesus asks all of us to be forgiving. He wants us to share God’s peace.

• We can ask the Holy Spirit to help us to be loving and forgiving

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.

• 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.
