Week no. /Duration Wk 7-10 720 minutes
Instructional Materials Aflame with God’s Love Grade 10

Overview (Introduction)
 The Church is God’s way of making us feel His love at present.
 God's gifts manifest the continuous outpouring of God’s love for
humankind. This love, in turn, becomes the sign that we belong to
Christ.
 No one has ever seen God. Yet, if we love one another, God remains in
us, and His love is brought to perfection in us.
 We believe that the saving love for which the sacrifice of His life was
offered continues until today through the Church. This is the reason why
the Church is called the Universal Sacrament of Salvation.
 As members of the Church, it is our mission to actively participate in her
ministries of teaching, sanctifying, and serving since by virtue of our
Baptism.
 The Church continues the saving mission of Christ by leading men and
women to holiness of life.

belief and her prayer."

Integrating God’s Message in my life

 The Church is alive because she is composed of people bound together by
faith and charity. She manifests her life in different ways, such as the
sacraments. She becomes fully alive in the celebration of the Eucharist.
 What is Sacrament?
 The sacrifice of Jesus happened once and it is offered to all.
 Yet we believe that the saving love for which the sacrifice of His life was
offered continues until today through the Church.
 This is the reason why the Church is called the Universal Sacrament of
Salvation.
 But this salvation offered by the Church today to men and women must
be actively received.
 St. John, in his letter to the early Christians, clearly spells out the
condition for them to experience Jesus' saving love-they must also love.
 The group of disciples who had gathered around Jesus upon the arrival of

5
 the Paraclete, formed "the nucleus of His Church (CFC 71)."
 They spread the message of God's manifestation to us to the ends of the
earth by the power of the Holy Spirit.
 What Jesus had taught them, they handed on to us. And "what was
handed on by the apostles comprises everything that serves to make the
People of God live their lives in holiness and increase their faith; and so
the Church.

The Church, the Universal Sacrament of Salvation

 To say that the Church is the Universal Sacrament of Salvation is to
accept that it is through the Church that the gift of salvation is poured out
to all of humankind.
 She is the instrument instituted by Christ to bring out His gift of saving
love to the whole world.
 This mission is clearly spelled out by Jesus in His act of sending the
apostles before He ascended to heaven.
 The Church performs her role of continuing the saving work of Jesus
through the ministries of teaching, sanctifying, and serving

 Teacher
 The Church teaches what was handed on to her by the apostles and what
the apostles received from Jesus. These teachings are based on two
sources.

 The Bible occupies a very important place in our life but we also believe
that there are many things that Jesus said and did that are not contained in
the Bible but are preserved, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, through
the Church's living Tradition
 Although the Magisterium, composed of the pope and bishops, is the
official teaching authority in the Church.
 Llay people share in the teaching ministry in two ways: either formally
by being catechists or teachers of the faith or by the witness of their life.

 Sanctifying
 The second ministry the Church engages in, in line with her being the
universal instrument of salvation, is sanctifying, She leads men and
6
 women to holiness of life by administering the sacraments.

 The Sacraments
 Holiness of life starts when an infant becomes a member of the Church
through the Sacrament of Baptism.
 Remaining holy despite temptations and challenges becomes possible
through the Sacrament of Confirmation and the Sacrament of Anointing
of the Sick.
 Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist causes holiness to grow and bear fruits
manifested in works of charity. Straying away from the path of holiness
do happen but the Church offers those who have strayed the way back to
holiness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
 Finally, in her work of leading men and women to holiness, the Church
relies also on these men and women to help her. She then calls them to
receive either the Sacrament of Holy Orders or the Sacrament of
Matrimony.

 Serving
 Church performs as the instrument of universal salvation is serving,
especially those who are pushed to the margins of society.
 The Church embarks on meaningful programs that seek to lift people up
from poverty by providing them with the skills needed for gainful
employment or small business.

 Together with skills training are programs for values formation that help
the poor realize that they have gifts they can and must use not only for
their economic advancement but also for helping others be freed from
their poverty, too. The formation of Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs)
is one of the ways by which the Church serves the poor so that they, too,
can be of service to others.
 As members of the Church, it is our mission to actively participate in her
ministries of teaching, sanctifying, and serving since by virtue of our
Baptism, we have also been given the responsibility to help continue
relaying to others the saving love that Jesus offered by His death on the
Cross
