Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
May 25, 2014
CGS Level I
Gesture of Offering
Every sacrament is an encounter with God through the person of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. At Eucharist, we thank God for the gift of the Risen Christ and offer ourselves together with him in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
Today, we ponder the meaning of the gesture and prayer of the Offering as our response to the gift of the Risen Christ.
As with the gesture of Epiclesis, we invite the child to fuller participate in the liturgy. After demonstrating the gesture over the chalice and paten in the atrium, we ask “What did you see?” The priest’s hands begin below then move to above. “What is lifted; from whom to whom?”
We reflect on the words in the Book of Common Prayer: “By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and forever. AMEN.”
Our song today: Father, I Adore You
