Ensure that the speakers are on/or you have headphones... and read the Bible passages and reflect on the questions. Enjoy the relaxing music as you reflect... Write a reflection to the questions on looseleaf in your Learning Log or place in your Religion section of your binder. Be sure to explain after you answer the questions, "How can I apply this passage to my life?" or "How can others apply the passage to their lives?"
THE SACRAMENTS OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH...
Now that we are feeling good after Lent and the feeling of renewal after Easter... It's time to review what makes us close to God. One of the ways we can do this is to examine how the Sacraments bring us closer to God and allow us to examine the cermonies that show what is significant or important for Catholics. The celebration of the 7 sacraments allows us to examine the special occasions we have for experiencing God's presence in our lives. So now let's reflect on (yes I know how you love to reflect...) HOW TO LIVE THE DIVINE LIFE. What does that mean anyways?? See the video below.
Let's get indepth in the sacraments... Yes, Videos!!!!

Now that you are feeling pretty "smart" with your understanding of the sacraments, Let's apply our knowledge.
MINI - POSTER ASSIGNMENT OF THE SACRAMENTS
Create a mini poster on 8 1/2 x 11 paper that represents the 7 sacraments... Include a symbol of the sacrament with a very brief explanation of that particular sacrament in your words. You may use some of the same symbols that are on the website... but try to be a little creative.
