Fancy New Teen Bibles

9/13/2022

Our 6th, 7th and 8th graders were treated to the experience of being the first to crack open a fresh new Bible designed for teens to use at last Sunday’s Family Faith Formation.   The exercise was brilliant.  Each teen was assigned a Bible passage where they would understand a story of a person involved in Jesus’ ministry.  Then the narrator asked them questions about what they read, telling the story of Jesus’ time on earth from the Wedding at Cana to the times He appeared after the resurrection.  While one person helping 24 individuals make sure they were reading the right part of the Bible turned out to be more difficult than anticipated, we got through it! And we will be opening these Bibles every session.

​The lesson:  DT TRJ  Do This To Remember Jesus.  After the Resurrection, Jesus did not walk around from place to place.  He “appeared” in the middle of the room in the middle of the story.  This taught the Apostles that Jesus can be present to us in a new way, without physically being with us.  When we celebrate the Eucharist, our lives are changed as we remember what Jesus did at the Last Supper.  He taught us how to keep Him alive in our hearts through the Eucharist.  If we remember Jesus in our everyday actions, such as at meals, or when tying shoes, we re-focus that part of our day on Him. Imagine a world, or just a household that remembered Jesus weekly at Mass, and then carried out simple daily tasks with prayer throughout the week and then remembering Jesus in every encounter with friends, family, classmates, and even strangers.  Jesus asked us to do this to remember him.

Thank you, St. Aidan, for the gift of these fantastic Bibles.
