St. Martha Adult Faith Formation

Our SMAFF website is here because...

...In 1999, the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops authored a pastoral plan for adult faith formation in the United States entitled, " Our Hearts Were Burning Within Us." It made clear a new priority for adult faith formation:

...adult faith formation is essential to who we are and what we do as Church, and must be situated not at the periphery of the Church?s educational mission but at its center .

...a comprehensive, multi-faceted, and coordinated approach to adult faith formation is necessary. Parish leaders need to provide a variety of learning activities and resources to meet the needs of parishioners.

...Every Church ministry will be energized through a dynamic ministry of adult catechesis.

...The parish places adult catechesis at the center of its stated mission and goals, and it promotes the importance of adult faith formation at every opportunity.

The Adult Faith Formation Team at St. Martha is putting
into
action the Bishop's call to make a comprehensive
adult
formation program available to its parishioners
and...

Our Hearts Are Burning Within Us image 

We, the community of Sts. Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, Friends of Jesus Catholic Parish, are committed to our baptismal covenant with Jesus Christ. This covenant is manifested in our worship, evangelization, education, stewardship, service and our commitment to live as a community of faith:

We...

...center our parish life on Christ, Scripture, and the celebration of the Sacraments in joyous worship and prayerful reflection of His love and mercy.

 

... come together as community of faith, in a spirit of hospitality and loving care, to serve one another in times of need and to share in the joys and struggles of everyday life in Christ.

... provide all members of our diverse community the opportunity for spiritual growth through faith formation and the sharing of the richness of our Catholic tradition .

...as stewards of God's gifts, share generously of our time, talent, and treasure within our community and extend that care to others in fulfilling the mission of the Church in the world.

Welcome to Sts. Martha, Mary, and Lazarus,
Friends of Jesus Parish!

Catechesis ( 0 )


CATECHESIS

At the heart of catechesis: Christ

At the heart of catechesis we find, in essence, a Person, the Person of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Son from the Father. . .who suffered and died for us and who now, after rising, is living with us forever."13 To catechize is "to reveal in the Person of Christ the whole of God's eternal design reaching fulfillment in that Person. It is to seek to understand the meaning of Christ's actions and words and of the signs worked by him."'14 Catechesis aims at putting "people . . . in communion . . . with Jesus Christ: only he can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity."15

In catechesis "Christ, the Incarnate Word and Son of God,. . . is taught - everything else is taught with reference to him - and it is Christ alone who teaches - anyone else teaches to the extent that he is Christ's spokesman, enabling Christ to teach with his lips. . . Every catechist should be able to apply to himself the mysterious words of Jesus: 'My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.'"16

Catholic Morality ( 0 )

  

Catholic Morality

“The human person participates in the light and power of the divine Spirit. By his reason, he is capable of understanding the order of things established by the Creator. By free will, he is capable of directing himself toward his true good.

He finds his perfection "in seeking and loving what is true and good." By his reason, man recognizes the voice of God which urges him "to do what is good and avoid what is evil”

…Everyone is obliged to follow this law, which makes itself heard in conscience and is fulfilled in the love of God and of neighbor. Living a moral life bears witness to the dignity of the person.”

Church in History ( 0 )

“The History of the Catholic Church from apostolic times covers a period of nearly 2,000 years, making it the world's oldest and largest institution. It dates its beginning to the confession of Peter, and the establishment of the Church by Jesus Christ. Catholic doctrine states that Christ is the head of his Mystical Body, the Catholic Church. The history of the Roman Catholic Church is integral to the History of Christianity and the history of Western civilization.”

Cycle A Archives ( 0 )


Per Vatican II, a  Lectionary, was developed with three yearly cycles of readings for Sundays and Holy Days to give the faithful a chance to hear as much of the Scriptures as possible. 

On weekdays, every Mass has two readings. The first is from the Old Testament or from an epistle or letter. During the Easter Season the reading is from the Acts of the Apostles or the book of Revelation. The second reading is always from a Gospel. There is a one year cycle of readings for the Gospels, and it is repeated each year. The first reading has a two-year cycle. A different reading is read on alternate years. The first is read on odd numbered years and the second on even numbered. 

There are special readings for the feasts of our Lord and his mother Mary, for important feasts of the saints, and for special needs and occasions.

YEAR A: The Gospel of Matthew is read
YEAR B: The Gospel of Mark is read
YEAR C: The Gospel of Luke is read

T
he Gospel of John focuses on the risen life of Christ, so it is read primarily during the Lent/Easter season and secondarily during the Advent/Christmas season.

Cycle C Archives ( 0 )


Following the directives of Vatican II, a  Lectionary, was developed with a three-year three cycle of readings for Sunday and Holy Days to give the faithful a chance to hear as much of the Scriptures as possible. During the weekdays, every Mass has two readings. The first is from the Old Testament or from a letter. During the Easter Season the reading is from the Acts of the Apostles or the book of Revelation. The second reading is from a Gospel. There is a one year cycle of readings for the Gospels, and it is repeated each year. The first reading has a two-year cycle. A different reading is read on alternate years. The first is read on odd numbered years and the second on even numbered. There are special readings for the feasts of our Lord and his mother Mary, for important feasts of the saints, and for special needs and occasions.

YEAR A: The Gospel of Matthew is read.
YEAR B: The Gospel of Mark is read.
YEAR C: The Gospel of Luke is read.

T
he Gospel of John focuses on the risen life of Christ,  so  it is  read  primarily during  the Lenten  /  Easter   season  and   secondarily during   the  Advent / Christmas season.

Doctrine ( 0 )


Doctrine

“Knowledge of the faith is required by adherence to the faith.  Even in the human order the love which one person has for another causes that person to wish to know the other all the more. Catechesis, must, therefore, lead to ‘the gradual grasping of the whole truth about the divine plan,’ by introducing the disciples of Jesus to a knowledge of Tradition and of Scripture, which is ‘the sublime science of Christ.’  By deepening knowledge of the faith, catechesis nourishes not only the life of faith but equips it to explain itself to the world.”  (General Directory for Catechesis. No. 85)
