  R.E activity-

  Jesus often spoke to his disciples about the importance of unity among them.  He gave them the model of the unity between himself and God the Father.

  In the text from John’s Gospel, part of his prayer for his disciples just before his arrest, he makes it clear how they would be more effective witnesses of his love if there was unity among them.

  Keep them safe by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one just as you and I are one.  I pray not only for them, but also for those who believe in me because of their message.  I pray that they may all be one. Father!  May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you.

  May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me.  I gave them the same glory you gave me, so that they may be one, just as you and I are one I in them and you in me, so that they may be completely one, in order that the world may know that you sent me and that you love them as you love me.

               John 17: 11, 20-23

  SOME KEY QUESTIONS

  • Why do you think Jesus prayed this prayer at this time?
  • How do you think the disciples felt when they heard this?
  • How do you think it might have affected their beliefs and their behaviour to one another?
  • Which are your favourite words and phrases and why?
  • What can you learn from this Gospel reading?

  • R.E activity –

  Listen to a song about friendship e.g. You’ve Got a Friend, Anytime You Need A Friend, etc. Talk about the lyrics and their meaning.  Use a story e.g. The Lie Detector by Susan Gates or The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister (Although this is written for younger children its appeal and message is universal, and it is useful to have a short story.)

  Explain how friendships may be between two or more people, but when a friendship excludes others all the time, it will be difficult for it flourish and grow.  It may be that a group of people come together, for a common purpose e.g. to play a sports game, to get a task done, to prepare for a celebration, to be part of a band etc.  Often when people come together it is to complete a task that would be difficult alone e.g. putting up a tent.  When people come together with a common purpose, there is unity between them.  They become as one. 

  Talk about what unity may mean in a group.  Discuss what beliefs and values are demonstrated in the songs and stories and how they influence the pattern of friendship and unity.

  SOME KEY QUESTIONS

  • Why do you think friendships are important?
  • What do you think is the most important value in friendship?
  • How do you think your beliefs influence your friendships?
  • What helps a friendship to flourish?
  • What kinds of behaviour will break a friendship?
  • Who is affected when a friendship is broken?
  • What do you think is the best way to mend broken friendships?

  R.E- Unity (Eucharist: Relating)

  Being thoughtful for life, for people and gifts, is a vital part of our relationships with one another.  When praise and appreciation are experienced, we are enabled to relate on a deeper level.

  • Recall a time when you were thanked. How was the gratitude expressed?  How did you feel?
  • How are relationships deepened in everyday life?

  Word of God

  Where two or three are gathered together in my name I am there among them.

  (Matthew: 18:20)

  Catechism of the Catholic Church

  Believers who respond to God’s word and become members of Christ’s Body become intimately united with him: “In that body the life of Christ is communicated to those who believe, and who, through the sacraments, are united in a hidden and real way to Christ in his Passion and glorification.”  This is especially true of Baptism, which unites us to Christ’s death and Resurrection, and the Eucharist, by which “really sharing in the body of the Lord, … we are taken up into communion with him and with one another.” (CCC790)

  The inexhaustible richness of this sacrament is expressed in the different names we give it. Each name evokes certain aspects of it.  It is called:

  Eucharist, (Thanksgiving) because it is an action of thanksgiving to God.

  The Lord’s Supper, because of its connection with the supper which the Lord took with his disciples on the eve of his Passion.

  The Breaking of Bread, because Jesus used this Rite, part of a Jewish meal, when as master of the table he blessed and distributed the bread, above all at the Last Supper.  It is by this action that his disciples will recognise him after his Resurrection.

  The memorial of the Lord’s Passion and Resurrection.

  The Holy Sacrifice, because it makes present the one sacrifice of Christ the Saviour and includes the Church’s offering.

  Holy Communion, because by this sacrament we unite ourselves to Christ who makes us sharers in his Body and Blood to form a single body.

  Holy Mass, (Missa) because the liturgy concludes with the sending forth (missio) of the faithful, so that they may fulfil God’s will in their daily lives. (cf 1328-1332)

  • RESPOND
  • What can a school community do to enhance the sense of feeling included and forgiven?
  • What is done for those who might feel excluded?
  • What can home, school and parish do to help all people relate on a deeper level?

  Prayer and Reflection

  Lord Jesus Christ,
  in you we know the love of God.
  When we gather together in your name
  we experience the marvel of your loving presence
  which challenges us to live for one another.
  Help us to follow your example
  so that we may never become complacent.
  Help us to listen to your constant call to us
  to continue the work you began,
  you who lived and died for us.
  Grant this through your Spirit of Love.
  Amen.

  (Prayer for Unity of Christians)
