Faith Sharing Journey

INSTRUCTIONS

This is your Faith Sharing Journey for your Confirmation year. This part of your journey will start in September and end

in March. There is more than one page for every month. Please read through each month’s instructions and answer all

questions – you cannot pick and choose which questions you want to answer. Your Faith Sharing will be kept

confidential; the only people who will read it are Mrs. Curtis, Mrs. Weeks and Father Barry. However, you can

share your Faith Sharing with anyone you wish. I especially encourage you to share this with your sponsor.

The Faith Sharing Journey is set up so that you can answer the questions on the instruction sheet. Please try to

use your best handwriting. If you prefer to type it, you can download a copy of the Faith Sharing from Saint

Edward’s web site at www.stedwardbowie.org or I can e-mail a copy to you.

Each month the Faith Sharing Journey is due on the last Sunday of the month (except in December because the

last Sunday of the month is Christmas day). It should be turned in when you attend Mass that weekend. All Faith

Sharing Journeys must be placed into the folder located on the Confirmation bulletin board in the Religious Education

hall. If you type your Faith Sharing, you may e-mail it to Mrs. Curtis at mcurtis@stedwardbowie.org

Every month on the Schedule, there is a Tuesday evening “Faith Sharing Help Session”. This help session can be used if

you need help on that month’s Faith Sharing or if you just want to use this as time to set aside to work on your faith

sharing; it is an informal session you can come anytime between 6:30pm and 8:00pm. Mrs. Curtis and/or Mrs. Weeks

will be available during this time to answer questions, but this is not the only time you have to ask questions – you can

ask Mrs. Curtis or Mrs. Weeks a question at any time. This is a time when you can also discuss and share your answers

with other students so that you can all help each other.

If you have not handed in your Faith Sharing on time, you will be required to attend the help session that follows

the due date for that month. Also, if the Faith Sharing you handed in was incomplete, you will be notified and

required to come to the help session. The specific days are September 20, October 11, November 15, December

6, January 10, February 14 and March 13.

WORSHIP

This is a year of challenge! We are challenged to make renewed efforts to be more Christlike, to put more enthusiasm into

living the Gospel; genuinely love one another. This year, think of the characteristics of the Christian community as based

in Acts 2:42-47:

The Christian Community worships regularly.

The Christian Community serves others in imitation of Christ.

The Christian Community sees itself as a community, the Church.

The Christian Community gives witness to its faith in word and deed.

· PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS.

1. I WORSHIP WHEN

2. I SERVE WHEN

3. I GIVE WITNESS WHEN 4.

5. HOW DOES MY WORSHIP, SERVICE, AND WITNESS MAKE ME A PARTICIPANT IN THE COMMUNITY

OF ST. EDWARD’S?

6. WHICH OF THESE AREAS [WORSHIP, SERVICE, COMMUNITY OR WITNESS] DO YOU MOST NEED TO WORK

7. ON AS YOU PREPARE FOR CONFIRMATION? ______________

KNOWLEDGE

Every week at Mass, we make a profession of faith in the words of the Creed. The Creeds contain the beliefs of our faith.

Read the Nicene Creed (a copy of the Nicene Creed we will be praying at Mass starting in Advent is attached).

Christians of every century have held strongly to these beliefs. Some have given up their lives to defend them.

1. LIST AT LEAST 8 BELIEFS THAT ARE FOUND IN THE CREED.

a. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

b. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

c. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

d. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

e. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

f. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

g. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

h. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2. WHY ARE THESE BELIEFS IMPORTANT TO YOU?

NICENE CREED

I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come. Amen.

A SACRAMENT IS AN OUTWARD SIGN OF AN INWARD GRACE INSTITUTED BY CHRIST TO MAKE US HOLY – OR - AN

OUTWARD SIGN OF AN INWARD GRACE INSTITUTED BY CHRIST IN WHICH WE ENCOUNTER HIM AT KEY POINTS IN

OUR JOURNEY OF LIFE.

3. Fill in the chart below. The first Sacrament, Baptism, is already done for you.

SACRAMENT CHART

SACRAMENT NAME	OUTWARD SIGN	INWARD GRACE OR EFFECT OF SACRAMENT
BAPTISM	Water, Oil	Original Sin is wiped away New life in Church – become a child of God

COMMUNITY & SERVICE

As you begin your year of service in preparation for Confirmation, think about the extra acts of service you can do:

· be cheerful at school, go out of your way to be kind to those you find difficult

· pay more attention to your studies, put more enthusiasm into your service projects and Confirmation

· preparation

· spend more time with your family

· be more respectful to your parents

· give some extra time to do things with your brothers and sisters

LET THE WORLD SEE YOUR LOVE FOR GOD AND YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE HIS PEOPLE.

Community is very important in Christian life. It is through others that we come to know God. While the creative power

and majesty of God is made apparent to us through the magnificence of nature, it is only through human community that

we come to know God’s compassion, kindness, mercy, generosity and love. Jesus commanded us to love one another

because he knew that when we share unconditional love, we come to see the face of God. Begin by bringing to mind your

membership in the most basic human community – the family.

1. EXPLAIN YOUR PRAYER LIFE:

When do you pray?

How do you pray?

What does prayer mean to you?

HOW WILL YOU TRY TO GROW IN PRAYER DURING THIS YEAR OF PREPARATION FOR CONFIRMATION? Be specific. Write down a plan for how and when you will pray every day. Make it a realistic prayer plan. It is better to set up a reasonable “prayer program” and really work at it, than to resolve to do too much and find it overwhelming.

There’s more to WORSHIP relating to the Scripture readings at Mass on October 2 – you’ll find them at the end of October

KNOWLEDGE

What is the Blessed Sacrament? _______

Eucharistic Adoration is a Catholic devotion. The Blessed Sacrament is exposed on the altar. During the time that the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, there is the opportunity for us to pray silently in the presences of Jesus through a visible sign of the Blessed Sacrament in the monstrance. Eucharistic Adoration usually begins with Exposition and ends with Benediction.

What is a monstrance? (Hint, hint—dictionary.com) _______

Can you think of one day in the church calendar when you can participate in the Eucharistic Adoration?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

COMMUNITY & SERVICE

In addition to your family, your “circle of friends” makes up another form of community. Whether you are a person who

prefers the company of just a few trusted friends or are a person who loves to be part of a larger group, friendship

communities become very important. Friends are often a great support – and often the source of much tension and pain.

While no friend is perfect, real friends want what is truly good for us. Christ’s love abounds in a real friend.

Real friends try to walk down the same road that Jesus walked. It is usually less glamorous and appears more difficult and

less exciting. But people who live the values Jesus taught find their lives to be joy-filled and anything but dull.

Examine the people you surround yourself with:

Who allows you to “be yourself”? _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Each activity and service project in the St. Edward Confirmation Program falls under at least one of these three

categories: Knowledge, Worship, and Service. These together are the foundations of our faith. Not one of these

categories can be diminished or erased and still allow you to develop in the Catholic faith.

List something in each area you have done to help prepare for Confirmation so far.

SCRIPTURE READINGS

First Reading: Isaiah 5:1-7

A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah

Let me now sing of my friend, my friend’s song concerning his vineyard. My friend had a vineyard on a fertile hillside; he spaded it, cleared it

of stones, and planted the choicest vines; within it he built a watchtower, and hewed out a wine press .Then he looked for the crop of grapes,

but what it yielded was wild grapes.

Now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard: What more was there to do for my vineyard that I

had not done?

Why, when I looked for the crop of grapes, did it bring forth wild grapes? Now, I will let you know what I mean to do with my vineyard: take away its hedge, give it to grazing, break through its wall, let it be trampled!

Yes, I will make it a ruin: it shall not be pruned or hoed, but overgrown with thorns and briers; I will command the clouds not to send rain

upon it. The vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the people of Judah are cherished plant; he looked for judgment, but see

bloodshed for justice, but hark, the outcry!

Answer these questions:

This is a reading from the book of Isaiah. Where is this book located in the Bible?

The word ‘vineyard’ appears throughout the Bible. In this reading, what does the word ‘vineyard’ symbolize?

Second Reading: Philippians 4:6-9

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Philippians

Brother and sisters:

Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests knows to God. Then the peace of God

that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Finally, brothers and sisters, what is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious,

if there is excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Keep on doing what you have learned and received

and heard and seen in me. Then the God of peace will be with you.

Gospel: Matthew 21:33-43

A reading from the Gospel according to Matthew

Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people: “Hear another parable. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard, put a

hedge around it, dug a wine press in it, and built a tower. Then he leased it to tenants and went on a journey. When vintage time drew near,

he sent his servants to the tenants to obtain his produce. But the tenants seized the servants and one the beat, another they killed, and third

they stoned. Again he sent other servants, more numerous than the first ones, but they were treated the same way. Finally, he sent his son to

them, thinking, ‘They will respect by son.’ But, when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him

and acquire his inheritance.’ They seized him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What will the owner of the vineyard do to those

tenants when he comes?”

They answered him, “He will put those wretched men to a wretched death and lease his vineyard to other tenants who will give him the

produce at the proper times.”

Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures: The stone that the builder’s rejected has become the cornerstone; by the Lord has

this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes. Therefore, I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people

that will produce its fruit.”

COMMUNITY & SERVICE

Take a look at the community of believers with whom you worship – your parish family. Along with your family and

friends, St. Edward’s parish is an important source of support as you prepare for the sacrament of Confirmation. Two of

the reasons we celebrate the Rite of Enrollment are: It makes the St. Edward community aware of your preparation and it

asks the St. Edward community to support you through prayer and encouragement.

Answer the following questions about St. Edward the Confessor parish describing important aspects of the faith

community:

What makes you feel like you belong here? For example: music, liturgies, religion education, social activities

You are familiar with the main parts of the Eucharistic celebration (the Mass) surrounding the sacrament of Confirmation.

Remember the Confirmation rite involves the entire assembly. Those that will gather in the church with you and the

other Confirmands are not spectators. They are witnesses to the sacrament of Confirmation and through their own faith,

they support and empower you as they have from the time of the Rite of Enrollment. The sacrament of Confirmation

emphasizes that we are a part of the whole Church, the people of God.

Over the span of your life and sooner than you may expect, you will be called upon to defend your faith to those

who are skeptical or unfriendly.

Remember confession is an incredible gift given to us by Christ. The Sacrament of Reconciliation enriches our spiritual

journey with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

An examination of conscious guides us as we look inside ourselves to determine if we have done anything to

offend God.

This month, you will create a journal entry on any SIX days you choose. These entries will be a private

conversation between you and God. We will not read them, only glance to ensure the assignment is completed.

To help you with this assignment, attached are two guidelines: One focusing on the Ten Commandments and the

other, Gifts of the Holy Spirit, My Journal to God, and an envelope to place your journal entries.

When has it been difficult for you to live your faith?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Scripture tells us that “all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God” (Romans 8:14). The Catechism of the

Catholic Church states that the gifts of the Spirit make us open to “Obeying divine inspirations” (#1831).

Reflect on someone in one of your communities that you truly admire and respect. Remember: You are a member of the

community of your family, your community of friends, and your faith community.

Describe one individual who is a hero to you. The emphasis is not on accomplishment, but rather on character.

Answer these questions when describing your hero:

o How does this person use the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit?

o How does this person treat other people?

o How does this person witness to their faith in their daily lives?
