In
the sacraments, the Church recalls and carries on the work of Jesus Christ.
In Coming to God’s Life, fifth graders will learn that, through
the sacraments, we are to become signs of God’s love by welcoming, forgiving,
healing, and serving others. We are to live as Jesus’ disciples, sharing
his good news with others. When they use this book, young people
are encouraged to ask the Holy Spirit to help them:
- share more fully in the life and mission of the Church, especially in the celebration of the sacraments;
- celebrate the sacrament of the Eucharist weekly and Reconciliation regularly;
- discover ways to be signs of God’s love for family, friends, and neighbors;
- learn to be like Jesus in his healing, forgiving service to everyone;
- imagine how Jesus wants them to continue his work and be a person of justice and peace.
