UNIT OF WORK:
The
Constitution
on
the
Sacred
Liturgy
n.56
reminds
us
of
the
unity
of
word
and
sacrament
when
it
states
that
the
Liturgy
of
the
word
and
the
Eucharistic
liturgy
are
so
closely
connected
with
each
other
that
they
form
but
one
single
act
of
worship.
The
form
of
the
Eucharist
has
evolved
during
the
past
two
thousand
years.
At
the
heart
of
this
action
is
Gods
constant
desire
to
nourish
and
speak
with
us.
The
assembly
-
the
community
(the
Church,
the
body
of
Christ)
-
celebrates
the
presence
and
action
of
Jesus
in
the
Eucharistic
celebration.
It
is
here
that
we
retell,
re-enact,
remember
and
celebrate
the
story
of
Jesus.
We
believe
when
people
gather
in
his
name,
that
Jesus
is
present.
Celebrating
the
Eucharist
is
central
to
the
life
of
the
faith
community.
In
the
Eucharist,
the
Christian
community,
gathered
in
the
Holy
Spirit,
remembers
and
celebrates
Jesus
presence
in
the
Word,
in
the
assembly,
in
the
person
of
the
priest
and
especially
in
the
Eucharistic
species
of
bread
and
wine.
Knowing
the
ritual
of
the
celebration
enables
fuller
participation.
Introductory rites
When
we
gather
we
are
one
in
the
Body
of
Christ.
We
are
welcomed
and
forgiven,
ready
to
listen.
We
pray
that
our
eyes,
ears
and
hearts
will
be
open
to
the
presence
of
Jesus
among
us;
to
discover
the
real
hope
and
power
for
good
that
is
there
in
our
gatherings.
We
praise
God
in
action
and
in
word.
The
word
of
God
is
proclaimed.
We
listen
with
our
hearts
and
minds
and
then
reflect
upon
Gods
message.
During
this
time
we
listen
and
respond.
The readings we share are encouraging, challenging, healing, active and direct. Through the Scriptures, God personally speaks to the faith
community. Jesus is present through his word and through their responses the people make Gods word their own.
The
Sunday
readings
are
divided
into
a
three
year
cycle
-
Matthew
(Year
A),
Mark
(Year
B)
and
Luke
(Year
C).
John
is
read
on
some
Sundays
in
Lent,
after
Easter
and
on
some
Sundays
in
Cycle
B.
The
weekly
readings
usually
consist
of
two
readings
-
the
first
readings
vary
over
a
two
year
period
while
the
gospels
remain
fixed.
Just
prior
to
the
proclamation
of
the
Gospel,
small
crosses
are
made
on
the
book,
the
forehead,
the
mouth
and
the
heart
-
gestures
expressing
our
intention
of
opening
the
mind
to
Gods
word,
speaking
Gods
word
to
the
world
around
us
and
keeping
Gods
word
alive
in
our
hearts.
The
sharing
of
a
meal
and
sitting
down
at
table
are
important
in
the
ministry
of
Jesus.
He
ate
with
sinners
(cf.
Mt
9:
9-13);
he
celebrated
at
a
wedding
feast
(cf.
Jn
2:
1-10)
and
on
the
night
before
he
died,
Jesus
gathered
for
a
meal
with
his
friends
(cf.
Lk
22:
15
-20)
and
asked
us
to
do
the
same
in
memory
of
him.
On
the
road
to
Emmaus,
the
disciples
recognised
Jesus
in
the
breaking
of
the
bread
(cf.
Lk
24:13-35).
In
accounts
of
the
life
of
early
Church
communities,
we
read
of
the
importance
of
the
gathered
community
celebrating
the
presence
of
Christ
(cf.
1Cor
11:
23-27
and
Acts
2:42,
46-47).
In
our
homes,
when
family
and
friends
gather,
we
prepare
food
and
drink
and
come
together
around
the
table
to
share.
We
renew
our
love
and
faith
for
each
other
and
offer
words
and
gestures
of
support.
In
the
Eucharist,
after
the
gifts
have
been
prepared,
we
give
praise
and
thanks
and
repeat
the
actions
of
the
Last
Supper.
The
bread
and
wine
become
the
Body
and
Blood
of
Jesus.
We
break
bread
and
share
as
a
community.
We
receive
Jesus
in
Holy
Communion
(the
sacrament
of
the
Eucharist)
(cf.
CCC
1373-1377).
The
teacher
needs
to
assist
the
childrens
developing
understanding
of
the
presence
of
Jesus
and
of
the
Eucharist
as
memorial
meal
and
sacrifice.
There
is
a
variety
of
suitable
literature
that
highlights
the
significance
of
memory
and
memorial.
Anzac
Day,
eg,
is
a
celebration
of
a
form
of
sacrifice.
Qs.
How
can
we
assist
children
to
understand
the
concept
of
sacrifice?
How can we assist the children to understand how Jesus can be present in the assembly and priest, the Word and Sacrament?
Concluding Rite
We
conclude
with
a
blessing
and
we
go
forth
to
live
what
we
have
celebrated.
Celebrations
of
every
kind
come
to
an
end.
We
go
back
to
our
homes
and
communities
strengthened
by
the
sharing,
joy
and
love
we
have
for
each
other.
We
go
from
the
Eucharist
with
the
blessing
of
the
Father,
Son
and
Holy
Spirit.
We
are
sent
forth
to
our
homes,
communities
and
work
places
to
continue
Jesus
mission
of
service,
justice
and
love.
The Eucharist has a pre-eminent place in Catholic life. It is the heart and summit of the churchs life. (CCC 1407)
The
Mass
is
at
the
same
time,
and
inseparably,
the
sacrificial
memorial
in
which
the
sacrifice
of
the
cross
is
perpetuated
and
the
sacred
banquet
of
communion
with
the
Lords
body
and
blood.

1382)

TEACHER
EVALUATION
OF
LESSONS
TAUGHT
By
limiting
the
amount
of
writing
and
worksheets
during
this
unit,
Ss
are
able
to
have
an
interactive
and
hands
on
experience
while
learning
how
the
Eucharist
fits
into
their
lives.
This
unit
will
allow
the
children
to
look
deeper
into
their
own
faith
whilst
drawing
upon
past
experiences
within
their
own
families.
This
will
allow
the
link
between
their
own
lives
and
Jesus
life
on
Earth
to
be
made
clearer.
Many
other
KLAs
require
Ss
to
be
restrained
to
a
desk
and
give
answers
to
questions.
The
opportunity
to
creatively
interact
with
the
unit
will
allow
children
who
may
not
always
get
to
display
talents
in
this
way
to
be
an
active
participant.
There
is
some
theory
in
the
way
of
research
and
the
presentation,
so
covers
many
learning
styles
within
the
classroom.
By
encouraging
the
children
to
Peer
assess
and
assist
each
other,
it
promotes
a
sense
of
community
and
aligns
with
the
sacrament
of
Eucharist
and
the
idea
of
sharing
with
your
faith
community
and
God.
