The Bible Blueprint 10th Anniversary Giveaway

Joe Paprocki Newsworthy, Scripture

Bible Blueprint Anniversary Giveaway - book covers of Bible-themed books

I was thrilled to learn recently that Pope Francis has declared the Third Sunday of Ordinary Time as “Word of God Sunday,” with the first observation of this taking place on January 26, 2020. What a great way to highlight the role of Scripture in the faith lives of Catholics! It is through Scripture that God reveals himself to us as a God who seeks to rescue, restore, and reassure us. This is our story—our narrative—within which we live our lives and find meaning. As catechists, we are the tellers of this great story and committed to faithfully transmitting the narrative of our salvation to each generation. Of course, that means that we ourselves need to have a firm grasp on this story as it comes to us in Scripture. It is for that reason that, 10 years ago, I wrote my book The Bible Blueprint: A Catholic’s Guide to Understanding and Embracing God’s Word.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Bible Blueprint, Loyola Press is offering you the chance to win a copy of this book and other Bible-related titles. We have several book prizes to give away to lucky readers of Catechist’s Journey.

I always have “bell work” for children to begin as soon as they arrive in the classroom. These are short activities that engage early arrivals as the rest of the class arrives during the first 10–15 minutes. While students are doing their bell work, I can take attendance, check homework, hand back completed work, and attend to other tasks, like notes from parents. One of the easiest forms of bell work I have is Bible […]

In addition to the drama of the stunt itself, […]

An Openness to the Word

John Gonzalez Catechetical Leaders

The Church’s deepest nature is expressed in her three-fold responsibility: of proclaiming the word of God (kerygma-martyria), celebrating the sacraments (leitourgia), and exercising the ministry of charity (diakonia). These duties presuppose each other and are inseparable. (Deus Caritas Est, 25) I find this quote from Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI to be a powerful reminder of the intimate relationship between charity and the Word of God. Charity, he seems to remind us, is an expression of […]
