This week in Year 4, we have been exploring the Sacrament of Reconciliation in our Building Bridges topic within Religious Education.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation allows people to confess and acknowledge their sins, seek forgiveness and be reconciled to God and one another. We also explored how God is always ready to forgive you for whatever you have done but we have to seek him out to ask for forgiveness and look to make the right choices moving forward.
In our lesson this week, we held a whole class liturgy which allowed us to have time to to reflect and pray to help us build a bridge to God and Jesus. We found some different pieces of scripture within the Bible and worked in our groups to practice reading it and understand the key messages from the scripture and how it links to the act of Reconciliation.
We then had to read it out loud in front of the whole class and explain to our classmates why we thought the scripture was special and how could we learn from it. We then ended our class liturgy with a short prayer and some time for individual reflection.
Well done Year 4 on your whole class liturgy, you all read beautifully and discussed the scriptures with such wise words. It was such a special time to reflect and spent time with God.
What have you learnt about the Sacrament of Reconciliation so far?
