Education Sunday 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:48:00 +0000

Sunday 19th February, 2012 is Education Sunday.

This marks the start of Catholic Education Week when we celebrate the importance of education in faith for children, parents and teachers and the Church.

The theme chosen this year to help us to focus on the importance of education in faith is: “This Is Our Faith”. These words remind us of our baptismal commitment to proclaim the faith which we have received from the Church, thanks to the efforts of our parents, teachers and priests.

There will be a Special Collection at all Masses to enable the Bishops’
Conference to finance the work of the Scottish Catholic Education Service. SCES provides support, resources and advice to the Bishops, to schools and to parishes across Scotland. SCES has been responsible for developing our new religious education syllabus, ‘This is Our Faith’.

The Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:43:00 +0000

The Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church - www.youcat.org

New official guide to the Catholic Faith for young people and adults.

“Many people say to me: The youth of today are not interested in this. I disagree, and I am certain that I am right. The youth of today are not as superficial as some think. They want to know what life is all about …. This book is exciting because it speaks of our own destiny and so deeply engages every one of us.”
- Pope Benedict XVI

The Deep End - Jesus the Teacher

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:07:00 +0000

Have you ever had a teacher who had that something you just couldn’t quite put your finger on - that air of authority that made you instantly respect them; that charisma and enthusiasm that inspired you to listen and to think? Maybe you were lucky enough to have a teacher who left a lasting impression or even propelled you towards your chosen career or way of life? Remember how you felt in their presence?

What kind of teacher was Jesus? When Jesus taught for the first time in the synagogue (Mark 1:21-28), he took the people by surprise. They were ‘astonished’. What stands out from the description, and what marks Jesus’ teaching apart from everyone else, is that he taught with authority; ‘Here is a teaching that is new and with authority behind it.’

His audience had surely been to the synagogue before. Travelling teachers would often preach in the synagogue. Yet, whatever the people were used to hearing, they had encountered no one like Jesus before. Mark points out that ‘unlike the scribes, he taught them with authority’. He had something their regular teachers lacked. Those who hear him can see that this is something new and exciting. Even the unclean spirits recognise his authority. We meet Jesus here at the beginning of his ministry; earlier in the Gospel of Mark he has been proclaiming the good news: ‘The kingdom of God has come near; repent and believe in the good news’. Jesus is not simply teaching the Scriptures as the scribes did. He is proclaiming the coming of God’s kingdom.

THIS IS OUR FAITH is the new syllabus for religious education in Catholic Schools, guiding the learning and teaching from Primary 1 to Secondary 3.

It will help teachers (and catechists) to structure opportunities for young people to encounter Jesus, to learn about Him, to understand His teaching, to develop virtues and values which He
promotes and to follow Him as the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Justice and Peace Commission

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 01:14:00 +0000

The priorities of Justice and Peace try to respond to current realities. During the last year, this has meant adjusting to the priorities of two new governments of different complexions in the UK and in Scotland. Our guiding criteria, unlike the arithmetic of democracy where the most votes win, are human dignity, the common good and a preferential option for the poor.

We keep a watching brief on a number of areas of concern such as human rights with particular reference to the effects of government in Scotland and the integrity of creation (as we term ecological concerns, particularly climate change).

We are fortunate in having excellent support from office bearers who give enormously of their time and expertise. We are grateful too, for our President, Bishop Moran as well as his brother bishops who are supportive of the place of justice and peace in the church.

Rejoice, so highly favoured!

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:59:00 +0000

The angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, so highly favoured! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Listen! You are to conceive and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’

Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I am a virgin?’ ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you’ the angel answered ‘and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God.

Know this too: your kinswoman Elizabeth has, in her old age, herself conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God’

‘I am the handmaid of the Lord,’ said Mary ‘let what you have said be done to me.’
And the angel left her.
