E. Generalization
- A sin is an offense against the law of God which separates us from God. It does great
damage to our life, and it weakens our capability to be good to others.
- A healer is one who cures an illness. Jesus is the Divine Healer. He came to heal our
sinfulness because He loves us.
- All we need to do is realize and admit that we did wrong and be sorry for our sins
(contrition). The priest’s absolution brings us Jesus’ forgiveness after we confess our
sins.
- Jesus, through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, helps us to throw away the heavy
stones, our sins and heals us. The Sanctifying Grace that we lost because of our big sins
is restored to us.
F. Application
- Let them play the game called “Hot Feeling”
- Let them answer the following questions:
o Who are the people whom you dislike and are disliked by the class and people
around you?
o What will you do to act like Jesus?
o What would you want if you were one of those disliked?
