I. NEED TO CONNECT
In Facebook, I came across of reports about the Italian priests who died of COVID 19
because they never ceased to provide the spiritual needs of the victims of the virus until they too
were infected. There was also a priest, a doctor by profession, who returned to medical practice
because of the need of medical professionals. These are people who were not threatened by
the virus in giving service to the people in need of spiritual strength in the midst of crisis. I am so
proud of them. Are you proud of them too?
Now, as you reflect deeper into the life of the saints and on the one you describe in the
last item, what does God would like you to know through their lives?
The lives of the holy men and women are a clear testimony to the salvation
that Jesus brings.
All of us are also called to live a holy life in Christ.
From the previous lesson, you learned that God revealed Himself to His people in many
ways in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, He reveals Himself in a “special way”.
To understand how God reveals Himself in a “special way,” proceed to the next activity
under Seeing God’s Message in the Scriptures on page 14 of the textbook. Get your Bible
and read slowly and reflectively the story about the birth of Jesus in Matthew 1: 18-24. After
reading, answer the four (4) questions under Testing My Understanding. Think and reflect over
the given questions before answering. If you find difficulty you may ask the help of your parents.
In answering item # 4, remember the words of the Prophet Jeremiah in the previous lesson, “I
will establish a new covenant with you, one that is not carved in stone but written in your heart.”
(Jer. 31:31-32)
Now to deepen some more your understanding on how God revealed Himself in a
“special way” through His Son, Jesus Christ, read CCC 430-431 and CCC 73 under Seeing
God’s Message in the Teachings of the Church on page 15 of the textbook. After reading,
answer these questions: How would you describe the identity and mission of Jesus? In what
way God has revealed Himself fully by sending His own Son?
After seeing God’s message to you from your life experience, from the Scripture, and
from the teachings of the Church, how then can you integrate this message in your daily life?
This time, kindly read Integrating God’s Message in My Life on pages 15-17 of the textbook.
On the process of integration underscore the answers to the following questions in your
textbook:
1. What do holy men and women show to us by the example of their lives?
2. Describe how the promise of salvation in the Old Testament fulfilled? State the role of
Mary and Joseph in the fulfilment of the promise. What is the meaning of the name
“Jesus” and “Emmanuel?”
3. How were God’s promises in earlier covenants in the Old Testament fulfilled in the
coming of Jesus? What can you say about Jesus in relation to:
Adam
Noah
Abraham
Moses, and
David
4. Is there a relationship between love and salvation promised by the Father and fulfilled by
Jesus? How does the love of God manifested in His gift of salvation become visible in the
person of His Son, Jesus?
Should you have questions or clarification in the course of your self-study, please feel

matters.
To sum up the important points you should have learned from the lesson, please read
Nurturing God’s Message on page 18 of the textbook.
V. NEED TO APPLY
To reinforce and gauge your learning about the lesson, do the activity under Empowered
by God’s Message on page 18 of the textbook. Be brief and clear of your answer.
Many young people nowadays are focused only on their own needs that they become
blind on the needs of others around them. As a young Dominican-Sienan you need to do
something to inspire them to reach out in genuine love to other people.
Make a collage or poster on the activities that you do at home or in your neighbourhood
that show genuine love. You may share your output to your friends in the social media. Send a
copy of your work to me in my messenger.
