I taught in Catholic schools for years.
Now happily retired, I have assembled all my planning for Lent.
Packed full of stuff. Powerpoints, planning, worksheets, masses etc etc.
This will really make your life easy.
Over 300 mb of stuff. Nearly 500 files.
Sample planning :
PRAYER Start with prayer, light candle, music – look at and reflect on the temptations of Jesus.
INTRODUCTION
Read the text of the temptations of Jesus. Why was Jesus in the desert in the first place? What had just happened to him before this episode in his life?
Recall the three things the devil asked Jesus to do.
What was Jesus’ response on each occasion?
Why do you think these three things were chosen to tempt Jesus?
Jesus was as human as you and me, in all but sin, and yet at the same time he was Gods’ Son.
Do you really think it was difficult for him to say no to the devil? Why do you think it might have been difficult?
Look at the text again. Are there any indicators, which show that this was easy?
