According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church , the sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted
by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispended to us. The seven sacraments are
ceremonies that point to what is sacred, significant and important for us as Christians and followers of Christ.
They are special occasions for experiencing God's saving presence.
Analysis
"Gods Grandeur" starts off with a claim: the earth is full Gods special power, Gods vitality. But the earth is
ultimately temporary. The fire will go from it one day. It will reach a peak, then slowly spread, and then
collapse.
The speaker states that the natural world is inseparable from God, but at the same time temporary. The speaker
wants to know why dont people don't take better care of the natural world. Why dont they recognize and
respect the power of God that is running through our environment? He says that people have been endlessly
tromping and trudging through the world for so long, and now the surface of the earth is calloused and burnt
over by industry. This unique idea of this poem is extremely relevant in the lives of todays teenagers as
numerous teenagers today are neglecting the environment. Just like how Christ cleanses us humans via his
divine sacraments -Baptism, Reconciliation, Anointing of the sick and Eucharist, we must attempt to cleanse our
sorroundings and respect our natural environment that god has granted us.

Spirituality
The theme of social justice talks about us humans to identify our traits and passions. Christ tells his followers to
be self understanding. Humans can identify themselves in 5 types of ways which include -
Individualism: Isolation of the self in Western culture. Putting greater emphasis on the individual than on
the community.
Self-esteem: An awareness of ones own worth, which can only be fulfilled by others, and is difficult to
achieve in culture.
Love of self: Our love of self must equal our love for others. Loving your neighbours goes hand in hand with
loving yourself.
Agnosticism: Not knowing if God exists. The preference to remain indifferent.
Atheism: The denial of Gods existence.

1. I am free 1. Jesus wants me to call God Abba/Father

Spiritual thirst
DONE BY KESHAV.J
Some people attempt to fulfill their thirst for happiness by chasing worldly desires such as going to the movies
etc. However , humans can only truly remain happy if they maintain a relationship with the almighty god. Our
human life is based on the trust of the almighty god. Our relationship with Jesus Christ is more important in life
than food, shelter and housing. It is the duty of us humans to maintain our divine relationship with the almighty
father.
