    7th Chapter

    7th Chapter comprises a group of seven women who are devoted to the Roman Catholic faith. Four of the women are retired educators, two are retired secretaries and the seventh and only one who is currently employed, is an administrative manager. The members are active in their parish community serving in various ministries such as the parish council, catechetics, extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist and members of various confraternities. They are all members of The Cursillio Movement the central aim of which is evangelization They are dedicated to building an understanding of Catholic teaching to young people in particular, especially through writing. Their first publication, entitled, ‘Priceless Treasure’ is a narrative which highlights the Eucharist as the core of Catholic doctrine. In this second work, the authors focus on the significance of sacramentals which consist of holy things, holy actions and holy places all of which are associated with Roman Catholic liturgy. The writing is presented with simplicity and clarity and though the aim is to offer instruction to young people, the work provides information for people of all ages including practicing Catholics as well as non Catholics who might be curious about the significance of those sacramentals to the religious life of Roman Catholics.

      FOREWORD

      As parish priest of Saint Benedict’s Parish, it is my pleasure to present this wonderful book to the general public written by The 7th Chapter, entitled Priceless Treasure. The 7th Chapter group of women from Saint Benedict’s Parish, Morne Fortune, Castries, Saint Lucia has embarked on a Faith Teaching Project. The focus of this work is based on teaching the essentials of the Holy Eucharist to children between ages 8 and 11 years. It is important to make mention that 5 members of this group of women are trained teachers who have taught school at various levels and ages. This book is certainly very timely and will make a profound contribution to the faith formation of our children, especially those preparing for the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation.

      The 7th Chapter group of women are very fervent in their Catholic Faith and continue to have a profound love and reverence for the Holy Eucharist. Hence, it is very noble that they have taken on this project as a significant catechetical tool to assist children in a clearer understanding and appreciation for the Holy Eucharist, especially as the Catholic Church embarks on the Year of Evangelization. We live in an era where there is a dire need for a re-catechesis on the Holy Eucharist, namely: reverence during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Benediction and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, a deeper understanding of First Holy Communion as a Sacrament of Initiation.

      Since the Holy Eucharist is a foretaste of heaven and central focus of Sacramental Life in the Catholic Church, it is quite fitting that the catechesis of this great Sacrament begins with basic instructions to children. The Gospel according to Saint Mark chapter 10, verses 13 to 16 tell us how people brought children to Jesus so that they would experience his gentle touch and blessing. Jesus so lovingly blessed them that they didn’t want to leave him. I earnestly believe and pray that we, in the Catholic Church can create a similar craving in our children for Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.

      This book certainly lays a foundation for others to follow and build upon, with regard to the faith formation of children on the Holy Eucharist. May the contents of this book enable parents, teachers and catechists to impart the essence and knowledge of the Holy Eucharist on the children of today.

      A Note to Readers

      We wrote this book to help you to learn about the love of Jesus for you. We also wanted you to understand His work in your life as a Catholic Christian.

      The discussion questions at the end were designed to help you learn more about your faith and the Eucharist. Try to answer them and if you find something difficult, ask for help from your parents or family members, your teachers, your catechists or a priest.

      We would like the reading of this book to be an enjoyable experience but we also want it to help you to grow spiritually, to increase your faith and your love for the Eucharist.

      This work would not have been possible without the support, assistance and guidance of a number of people. We acknowledge these persons below with deep gratitude.

      CHAPTER ONE

      Cedarville

      On a lush green plateau seventy metres above the sea, depending on the weather, you can hear the sound of the waves washing gently or crashing wildly against the rocks on the coast. Sometimes the sea is calm and quiet and always you can see the tall mountains standing majestically against the skyline. If you listen carefully, you can hear
