SF 3: Sacramental Life

Using Praying Scripture for a Change, How to be Holy, and Sacraments in Scripture, this course focuses on the Sacramental Life and is meant to help the students experience the Faith as a lived reality in the midst of their intellectual study of God and the world. Rather than treating religion as just another academic subject, the method for thus course is based on the catechetical model of Christ--apprenticeship, prayer, and discipleship. Hence, though the topics integrate with and complement the material covered in the Trivium/Philosophy/Theology sequence and in the Great Books sequence, the focus is upon learning how to assimilate truth into daily life, ideas into action. The overarching goals are growth in virtue and holiness and a closer encounter with Christ.
