LESSON SIX: QUESTIONS

LESSON SIX

Preparation: Opening Prayer

Proclamation: Isaiah 54:5-14 “For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with great                                                                     tenderness I will take you back.”

Song: Though the Mountains May Fall (Earthen Vessels--St. Louis Jesuits)

Though the mountains may fall and the hills turn to dust, yet the love of the Lord will stand as a shelter for all who will call on His name.  Sing the praise and the glory of God.  Could the Lord ever leave you?  Could the Lord forget His love?  Though a mother forsake her child, He will not abandon you.  Should you turn and forsake Him, He will gently call your name.  Should you wander away from Him, He will always take you back.  As He swore to your Fathers, when the flood destroyed the land, He will never forsake you.  He will swear to you again.

Introduction of a Saint’s life: St. Maria Goretti

Prayer: Apostles Creed: I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
