The Image of God religion series is an exciting comprehensive Catholic program that has as its foundation the creation of human beings in God's own likeness. The greatest confirmation of man's unique dignity is the Incarnation of Christ, the God-man who is the perfect image of the Father and who reveals God as Love, especially by the Cross and Resurrection. In revealing God, Christ showed us who we are and how to act. This emphasis on the dignity of the individual child as the foundation of this series is taken from Scripture, the documents of Vatican II, and the writing of John Paul II. It presents the Catholic Faith in a stimulating and easy to read format that is being praised by teachers, pastors and bishops.
Grade Two: Special emphasis on the sacraments and commandments in preparation for receiving Reconciliation and the Holy Eucharist. The lessons emphasize God's mercy and love through the story of salvation history and the coming of Jesus our Savior; we act as images of God through receiving the sacraments, and imitating the various saints' lives that are studied. Special focus on the Mass.
