Before class, write on each of several note cards the name of a celebrity, a famous athlete, acartoon character, or a character from a TV show or a movie (for example, Tom Cruise, BugsBunny, Iron Man, Taylor Swift, a Minion, and so forth). Distribute a note card to each student,and warn students not to let anyone else see their note cards. The name on the card will beeach student’s identity for this game.B. Give students a few minutes to write on the back of their note cards five important clues orcharacteristics about the person or character on their card.C. Have students stand and find a partner. Without revealing any clues, have students guess whotheir partner is. Then have them take turns revealing their list of clues one at a time. After eachclue is revealed, the student’s partner should guess who he or she is. If a guess is incorrect, thenext clue should be revealed. If, after all five clues have been revealed and the identity has notbeen guessed, students may reveal who they are to their partners.D. After the activity, have students return to their desks and then ask the following questions:ӹӹDid anyone guess who their partner was without any clues?ӹӹ What was it like trying to figure out who your partner was based on the clues?ӹӹ What was it like to give the clues but not have your identity guessed correctly?ӹӹ Why were some clues better than others?ӹӹ What ultimately gave away the identity of your partner?ӹӹDo you think it was necessary to give clues to the identities? Why?ӹӹHow do you think this activity might relate to how we know God?ActivityA. Explain to your students that there are different ways in which we can come to know thatGod exists, such as through nature or through the use of human reason. But in order to knowcertain things about God, such as who He is, that He loves us, and that has a plan for our lives,God has to reveal them to us. We cannot come to know such things on our own by thinkingabout them or by using science and technology. Similarly, the only way students could know14 S OP H IA IN S TITU TE FOR TE A C HERS

LESSON PLANwho their partners were in the game theyjust played was for their partners to revealthemselves. Blindly guessing would get themonly so far. Thankfully, God does reveal Himselfto us. One of the primary ways God does this isthrough Scripture, the Bible.B. Have students turn to God Reveals Himself inHis Word (page 15) in their workbooks. Havestudents work individually to complete theactivity on the handout.God Reveals Himself in His WordDirections:Read the Scripture passages below and answer the focus questions. Then4.

He said tothem, “Today thisscripturefulfilledin yourhearing.”passageis1516DAY TWOWarm-UpA. Project on the board Catechism of the Catholic Church no. 51, which quotes Dei Verbum 2, andhave a student stand and read it aloud:“It pleased God, in his goodness and wisdom, to reveal himself and to make known themystery of his will. His will was that men should have access to the Father, through Christ,the Word made flesh, in the Holy Spirit, and thus become sharers in the divine nature.”B. Ask your students the following questions:ӹӹ Why did God reveal Himself? It pleases Him to do so.ӹӹ What did God make known? The mystery of His will.ӹӹ What was the will of God that He made known? Men should have access to the Father, throughChrist, the Word made flesh, in the Holy Spirit, and thus become sharers in the divine nature.C. Explain that when we say “the mystery of God’s will,” we do not mean an unsolvable puzzle, butrather something that goes beyond our ability to understand on our own. In order for us toknow or understand it, it must be shown or revealed to us. Therefore, God’s will for humanitywas not a puzzle to solve or something unknowable entirely. Rather, God, the all-powerfulCreator of the universe, revealed it to us because it is His will.Unit 1, lesson 215
