Why Catholics Do What They Do (In Church)The Inside Story

 

Symbols and signs are essential to the Roman Catholic Liturgy and Ritual. Candles; what do they represent? How and when are they used and how do they affect us? Water; it can be a symbol of death as well as life and it is used in some of the Church's most important rituals. Gestures; how standing, kneeling, hand gestures, and even sitting down have specific purposes in the mass. Crosses; in addition to the symbol of Christianity which hangs in every church, we cross ourselves and make "the sign of the cross" at important moments in our rituals. This program will help young people, catechumens and even life-long Catholics to better understand the important reasons for these traditions and how they help us grow in faith.

(A study guide is included for discussion) 6th grade through high school 28 min.

Connecting with God

Have you ever thought of God as you gaze out at the ocean, listen to your favorite music, or as you have a real good stretch in the morning? If so, you were "Connecting with God". Sr. Dorothy Ederer, O.P., shows how we can use gestures to pray when we have no words. Fr. Brendan Moss, O.S.B, helps us see how music can connect us to life and to God. Kathleen Chesto invites us to pray surrounded by the power and beauty of nature.
Creative, informative, entertaining, "Connecting with God" is tailor-made for teen retreats or prayer time in class. It is also excellent for RCIA and adult education. Study guide included.

Ages 12 and up, 25 min.
