RERC 3-01a
I am deepening my awareness of the sacred (God’s presence) and of mystery in life by exploring:
•  the wonder of my gifts and talents
•  the wonder of the gifts and talents of others.
RERC 3-01a
I have considered how and why people of faith have understood that their gifts and talents are a way of fulfilling God’s plan and their vocation in life.
•  e.g. St. Francis of Assisi, Gianna Molla.
RERC 3-01a
I have had the opportunity to reflect upon how my gifts and talents are part of God’s plan for my life.
RERC 3-01a
By doing this, I am further developing skills of discernment, in particular in relation to my choices in life and my skills for life.
RERC 3-01a
In light of this, I have had the opportunity to consider how I can use my gifts and talents to fulfil God’s plan for my life (my vocation).
RERC 3-02a
I have reflected on 1 Cor. 12 and I can explain that every human person is different in his/her unique God-given gifts and talents but equal in his/her dignity as a son/daughter who is called to a particular vocation.
•  I can identify and show appreciation of the different gifts and talents that God has given to other people.
•  I can identify and appreciate the different gifts and talents God has given me.
RERC 3-02a
I know that Christians understand that they are called to use their unique gifts as a way to serve God and others.
RERC 3-02a
I understand the Christian belief that true fulfilment and happiness can only be found in responding to God’s call.
RERC 3-02a
I understand that my conscience informs how I use my gifts and talents to benefit and to protect the dignity of others.
RERC 3-02a
I can describe examples of how people use their gifts and talents (to respect God’s creation or to offend it).
RERC 3-02a
I can describe how Jesus used his gifts and talents to uphold the dignity of the human person, especially those who were marginalised or excluded e.g.,
•  Matthew 5 – the Beatitudes;
•  John 8 – the stoning of the adulteress woman;
•  Luke 5 – Curing of the leper (CCC 1935).
RERC 3-05a
Through participating in opportunities for prayer and reflection I have considered how this understanding can help me to develop a personal relationship with Jesus as God and Saviour.
RERC 3-10a
I have reflected upon how I can use my gifts and talents to contribute to the role of the Church in the world today.
Experiences and Outcomes:
RERC 3-01a MYSTERY OF GOD
I identify situations of wonder and mystery in life. Having considered the belief that these situations are signs of God’s invitation to relationship, I can describe how these affect our awareness of the sacred in our lives.
RERC 3-02a IN THE IMAGE OF GOD
I have considered the Christian vision of the dignity of the human person, made in the image and likeness of God. I have reflected upon how this has contributed to my becoming the person I am today.
RERC 3-05a SON OF GOD
I know that Jesus is truly divine and truly human and I can acknowledge Him as our Saviour who brings the New Covenant.
RERC 3-10a SIGNS OF GOD
I have explored the belief that the Holy Spirit inspires and empowers the Church to fulfil its prophetic and missionary role in our world today. I have researched into situations which bear witness to this. I can describe how I and others can contribute to this work.
