LESSON 6 THEME: The Seven Gifts of the
Spirit 1. Narrate
the story of Fr Maximilian 2. Recall
the story of the Apostles and the lame man in Acts
3:1-10. 3. In
the story of St Maximilian each of the gifts was present. a) WISDOM: Age had made him wise and he knew
that God was all that mattered. b) UNDERSTANDING: He understood the agony of the
condemned man in that he would never see his wife and children again. c) COUNSEL: The solution he gave to the German
guard was very good. He knew he was and of not much use to the people; so he
agreed to die in the place of the other prisoner. d) FORTUTIDE (STRENGTH): He has the strength from God
to die. e) KNOWLEDGE: He had the gift of knowledge in that
he knew that Jesus would have done the same thing were He in his place. f) LOVE: He showed love for God and his
neighbour in this act of dying. g) FEAR OF THE LORD: He trusted God as a child trusts
his/her father. Those who are
confirmed are given these gifts by God and they show these in their lives if
they truly love Jesus. |
