[KG, CH, SSM]

Indicators for this outcome
(a)

Analyze and discuss how one's prayer life may be influenced by Catholic teachings regarding:

  • why pray
  • how to pray
  • what to pray for
  • when to pray
  • to whom a person should direct prayer (e.g., God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit)
  • through and with whom a person may be encouraged to pray (e.g., Mary, saints, the angelic host).
(b)

Discuss relationships among and benefits of:

  • personal prayer (i.e., prayers dealing with personal issues)
  • private prayer (i.e., prayers made by oneself)
  • communal prayer (i.e., praying with others).
(c)

Create an arts expression in response to the five types of prayer listed within the Catechism of the Catholic Church including:

  • petition (e.g., asking for what one wants)
  • intercession (e.g., prayer for others)
  • thanksgiving (e.g., gratitude for gifts of life and love, moving away from selfishness, enjoying what life brings)
  • praise and worship (e.g., respect for God, celebrates everything coming from and belonging to God, results in bringing God's love to others)
  • blessing and adoration (e.g., recognition of the nature of God, leads to being 'poor in spirit', recognizes everything comes from and belongs to God and therefore everything can be used for the glory of God).
(d)

Investigate similarities and differences in prayer among Christian, Jewish, First Nations and Métis traditions (e.g., mealtime prayers, prayers of thanksgiving, praise and worship, petition and intercession).

(e)

Examine the infusion of cultural traditions within Catholic ecclesial prayer rituals including First Nations traditions (e.g., smudging ceremonies within the Catholic church, Way of The Cross events incorporating cultural art works, Theophany Water Blessing, diverse Holy Week cultural traditions such as Catholic Filipino and Ukrainian Catholic).

(f)

Explain the Catholic view that prayer should be affective in nature (e.g., causing personal change or growth) and thereby leads to acts of goodness (e.g., being an instrument of God's will, deepening one's connection to God).

(g)

Construct a plan for personal prayer and action using Jesus as a model (e.g., prayed in solitude, led others in prayer, fasted).
