Catechesis
of the Good Shepherd
Level II
In Level II the child is born anew on two fronts: he
is able to use his
imagination creatively rather than simple re-creatively
and he is
preoccupied with justice, fairness, right and wrong.
With these two
developmental leaps in mind, the child spends time exploring
the History of
the Kingdom of God, its unity and vastness, and see how
God has made God's
self known since the beginning of time with several wonderfully
visual
timelines. The focus on the relationship with Jesus
is still understood
with this aged child in the image of the Good Shepherd
but we will expand
our understanding of who Jesus is and who we are in relationship
with him by
hearing the Parable of the True Vine among several parables.
Over the years the child will hear these presentations
