 PLANNING OVERVIEW – TERM
Year Level Unit Title Salvation Topic Aspect of Human Development
6 Empowered By The Spirit Confirmation A Wondering At The Creator Of
The Human Spirit
Overview – explanation of the content of the unit and how it explores the Salvation Topic and development of the Human Person
Inner strength is something that people have to work on. They know the right thing to do, and they admire other people doing it, but lack the
will to put it in action. Jesus also knows how hard it can be to act on the preaching of the Gospel, to live a holy life and over come pressures of
others. This is why he shares the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the gift of the spirit, that strengthens our will, to live as Jesus taught. It is
received through the Sacrament of Confirmation. Students will be exploring the topic by the sharing of stories, especially scripture, and
investigating the modern life as a Catholic. Students also have the chance to research heroic traits of the soul and finding the ones they think
God holds the highest in their chosen saint. During Confirmation students take on the name of a Saint that they would like to emulate in their
lives.

PLANNED RITUAL – Primary (Year 3,4 and 6) Sacramental Celebration

Strengthened by the Spirit

(Liturgy of the Word)

Introduction
Reader 1: Today we gather to celebrate the strength and courage given by the Holy
Spirit to Saints and Blesseds and heroic Christian men and women
throughout the world. We will listen to the story of one of the early Christians
who was a follower of Jesus. His name was Stephen and his courage and
bravery made him a very special person. Stephen was killed because he
taught the Good News of Jesus.

Reader 2: As followers of Jesus, people are strengthened by the Holy Spirit, which they
receive in the Sacrament of Confirmation. Jesus calls his followers to open
themselves to the Spirit within, by living out the Beatitudes. The word
‘beatitude’ means a special kind of happiness - the happiness of being with
God. This is the happiness of heaven. We start to experience this happiness
now by living out the Beatitudes.

Song: Walk in the light.

Greeting and Sign of the Cross

Penitential Rite:
I confess to almighty God,
and to you, my brothers and sisters
that I have sinned through my own fault
in my thoughts and in my words,
in what I have done,
and in what I have failed to do;
and I ask blessed Mary, ever virgin,
all the angels and saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters,
to pray for me to the Lord our God.
May almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us our sins,
and bring us to everlasting life.

All: Amen.

Opening Prayer: God of love, you sent us your Son Jesus, who showed us his great inner
spiritual strength. Bless us and help us develop our own spiritual strength by
trying to live as Jesus taught.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.

All: Amen.

First Reading: Based on the Acts of the Apostles [6:8-7:60]

Reader 1: Stephen was one of the members of the early Church. Stephen had great
faith. He worked miracles in Jesus’ name. He healed the sick. He spoke to the
crowds about Jesus’ teachings and his love for Jesus.

Reader 2: The leaders became very angry and were jealous because lots of people
were listening to Stephen and his message about Jesus. They made up lies
 about Stephen. They arrested him for something he did not do. Stephen was
not afraid of them, but spoke of his love for God with great courage and joy.
He wanted the people to believe in Jesus. This made the leaders even angrier
with Stephen.

Reader 3: Because he was filled with the Holy Spirit, Stephen was happy and not afraid.
He looked up, ‘Look!’ he cried out, ‘The heavens are opened and I can see
Jesus standing with God’. The leaders could not bear to hear this talk. They
put their fingers in their ears. They grabbed Stephen, dragged him outside the
city and threw stones at him. Before he died, Stephen prayed to Jesus, ‘Lord,
receive my spirit, and forgive these people for their sins’.
This is the Word of the Lord …

Gospel: Matthew 5:1-12

Sacrament of Confirmation
Presentation of the Candidates
After the Gospel the bishop and the priests who will be ministers of the sacrament with him take
their seats. The pastor or another priest, deacon, or catechist presents the candidates for
confirmation, according to the custom of the region. If possible, each candidate is called by name
and comes individually to the sanctuary. The candidates are accompanied by one of their
sponsors or parents and stand before the celebrant.

Homily

The Laying On of Hands

The laying of hands on the candidates by the bishop and the concelebrating priests represents the
biblical gesture by which the gift of the Holy Spirit is invoked.

The concelebrating priests stand near the bishop. He faces the people and with hands joined,
sings or says:

Bishop: My dear friends. in baptism God our Father gave the new birth of eternal life
to his chosen sons and daughters.
Let us pray to our Father that he will pour out the Holy Spirit to strengthen his
sons and daughters with his gifts and anoint them to be more like Christ the
Son of God.

All pray in silence for a short time.

The bishop alone sings or says:

All-powerful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, by water and the Holy Spirit
you freed your sons and daughters from sin and gave them new life. Send
your Holy Spirit upon them to be their Helper and Guide. Give them the spirit
of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgment and courage, the
spirit of knowledge and reverence.
 Fill them with the spirit of wonder and awe in your presence.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

All: Amen.

The Anointing of Chrism

The deacon brings the Chrism to the bishop. Each candidate goes to the bishop. The one who
presented the candidate places his right hand on the latter’s shoulder and gives the candidate’s
name to the bishop.

Bishop: Dips his right thumb in the Chrism and makes the sign of the cross on the
forehead of the one to be confirmed, as he says: “(Name), be sealed with the
gift of the Holy Spirit.”

Newly confirmed: Amen.

Bishop: Peace be with you.

Newly confirmed: And with your spirit.

Prayers of Intercession

Response: Holy Spirit, give us your strength and courage.

Reader 1: We pray for our Pope. May he continue to remind us how we should always
reflect our God who is good. We pray …

Reader 2: We pray for our Archbishop (or bishop), our priests and all in religious life.
May they continue to show strength and courage, being good models for how
we should live the Beatitudes. We pray …

Reader 3: We pray for all the sick and dying known by members of our school
community. May all be strengthened by the Holy Spirit and continue to be
courageous. We pray …

Reader 4: We pray for all those present. Sometimes it is hard to choose between right
and wrong. At times we become afraid and lack courage because of what
others might think of us. May the Holy Spirit deepen our inner strength and
help us to stand up for others who are treated unjustly. We pray …

Reflection: Provide time for those present to think of one area in their lives where they
would like the Spirit’s help to do what is right. As each person identifies this
area, they select a stone from the focus and return to their place. The stone
could be kept as a reminder to do what is right.

Leader: Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful.

Response: And kindle in them the fire of your love.

Leader: Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created.

R: And you will renew the face of the earth.

Conclusion Prayer for Inner Strength
Week 2
Lesson 1
Luke 22:41-46 from The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name

41 Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw,

knelt down, and prayed, 42 “Father, if you are willing,
remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be
done.” 43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and
gave him strength. 44 In his anguish he prayed more
earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood
falling down on the ground. 45 When he got up from
prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping
because of grief, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you
sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the
time of trial.”

wilderness,

The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry

14 Then Jesus, filled with the power of the Spirit, returned to Galilee, and a report about him
spread through all the surrounding country.

Matthew 12:28
28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come to
you.

John 6:59-66
59 He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.

The Words of Eternal Life

60 When many of his disciples heard it, they said, “This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?” 61
But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, “Does this
offend you? 62 Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit
and life. 64 But among you there are some who do not believe.” For Jesus knew from the first who
were the ones that did not believe, and who was the one that would betray him. 65 And he said,
“For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father.”

66 Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him.

Week 5
Lesson 1:
Definitions:

Beatitude The Greek makarios meaning blessed or happy. It is the promise Jesus gave
to those who develop the basic attitudes he identified as necessary to
experience God [Matthew 5:3–12].

Confirmation The second of the three Sacraments of Initiation, the other two being Baptism
and the Eucharist. Confirmation strengthens the spiritual gifts received
through Baptism, and gives the special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread
and defend the Christian faith through action and words. The purpose of this
Sacrament is to strengthen people in their faith. During the ceremony, the
celebrant, usually a bishop, while placing his hand on the head of the
candidate, anoints their forehead with the oil of Chrism, saying ‘Be sealed with
the Gift of the Holy Spirit.’

Chrism A mixture of olive oil and balsam, which is blessed by the Bishop during the
Mass of the Chrism during Holy Week. Chrism was first mixed at God’s
command as part of the Sinai Covenant [Exodus 30:22–33]. Chrism is used
today in conferring Confirmation. It is used also as a symbol during
 celebrations of Baptism and Holy Orders.

Deacon A minister ordained within the Church to assist a bishop by proclaiming the
Word of God, and serving in the worship and governance of the Church. A
deacon is empowered to do this through the Sacrament of Holy Orders

Martyr One who has been killed because of her or his faith in Christ and the Gospel

Pentecost The Jewish Festival of Weeks, held annually fifty days after the feast of the
Passover. Originally this feast marked the end of the wheat harvest. Later it
came to commemorate as well the appearance of God to the People of Israel
at Mount Sinai [Exodus 19:16–25]. The significance of Pentecost for
Christians is that the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles when they gathered
to celebrate this Jewish feast after the resurrection of Jesus. Pentecost today
is the conclusion of the Easter season.

Soul The life spirit of a person, created personally by God and which lives forever
