2. Introduction
The Christian Life Education Program begins
with the formal study of the first part of the
Bible, the Old Testament. Through the
exploration of the Salvation History of the
chosen people in the Old Testament, the
students are led to recognize the steadfast
presence of God in the lives of His
people. The first year program aims to
develop among our students the constant
acknowledgment of God's accompanying
presence, not only in the past, but most in
their everyday lives.
3. About God
Slowly, and in the gradual manner, the students will
then be encouraged to a broader understanding of
who God is. This is done through the discussion of the
fulfillment of the promise of salvation in the very
person and life of Jesus Christ found in the gospel
narrative in the New Testament. Here, the focus is on
the deepening of the personal relationship of the
students with Christ, the incarnated love of God the
Father. The Beatitudes and the gospel teaching of
Jesus' ministry are highlighted, so as to convey to the
students the adamant call to imitate Jesus, the
model of unconditional
love, faithfulness, compassion and humble service to
mankind, especially to the needy.
