Chapter Context

Worship is the main manifestation of man's relationship with God. Ancient man worshiped the forces of nature that inspired him with fear. But since God chose and prepared the people of Israel to worship God, man began to worship the true God. Even then his worship was not complete. Jesus said to the Samaritan woman: "......the time is coming to worship God in form and in truth".

Conviction

- Man is basically a worshipper of God.
- He worshipped the natural powers before knowing about the real God
- All religions give importance to worship of God.
- God has selected Israelites as the community of worshippers.
- The worship they practiced with the offerings such as grains and cattle were incomplete.
- Jesus taught us the actual and complete worship by sacrificing himself on the cross.
- Church becomes a worshipping community when it participates itself in the sacrifice of Jesus commemorated in the Holy Qurbana, Sacraments, night prayers, holy celebrations etc.
Attitudes

- An aptitude should be developed in the children to participate actively in the Holy Qurbana which is the actual worship.
- Instead of treating the worship as ritual, one should try to participate in it whole heartedly.
Resolution

- take a decision to attend Holy Qurbana whenever possible.
- Will try to lead a life based on the spirit of Holy Qurbana.
Teaching aids
