  1. Freedom and Responsibility God’s holy people

  2. Genesis 1 : 1 – 2 : 4 • In the Book of Genesis a poem has been written by one of the Temple priests that describes God’s creation of the world. • The poem tells of the six days in which God made heaven and earth. • When Moses gave the Israelites the ten commandments, he reminded them of this.

  3. Exodus 20 : 8 - 11 “Observe the Sabbath and keep it holy. You have six days in which to do your work, but the seventh day is a day of rest dedicated to me. On that day no one is to work – neither you, your children, your slaves, your animals, nor the foreigners who live in your country. In six days, I the Lord, made the earth, the sky, the sea, and everything in them but on the seventh day I rested. That is why I, the Lord, blessed the Sabbath and made it holy.”

  4. The Seventh Day By the seventh day God finished what he had been doing and stopped working. He blessed the seventh day and set it apart as a special day, because by that day he had completed his creation and stopped working.

  5. Why was the Sabbath a special day for the Jewish people? How did they keep the Sabbath day holy, make it a day of rest? On what day of each week is the holy day, a holiday and a day of re-creation?

  6. Discuss as a group ways in which Christians keep this day holy.

  7. Sabbath Day Design a poster about making Sunday a holy day, a ‘holiday’. Use the information you have read and the ideas you have collated during your discussion to help you.

  8. A Penitential Rite You have given us the freedom to choose happiness, Lord have mercy. You have made us responsible for our actions, Christ have mercy. You call us to live in peace and harmony Lord have mercy. May almighty God, have mercy on us, forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting life. Amen This is an example of the penitential rite used at the beginning of mass. This is a time for acknowledging our use of freedom and responsibility.
