Curriculum Overview

Embark on an extraordinary journey through the life of Jesus, God made man, revealing the very heart of God's love for humanity. It all begins with the ancient promises (covenants), foretold centuries before His birth, whispers of a coming Messiah woven into the fabric of history, patiently awaiting their glorious fulfillment. 

The story truly ignites with the Incarnation - God taking on human flesh. Witness the Annunciation, where a young woman named Mary gives her courageous "yes" to God. Then, imagine the humble journey to Bethlehem and the miraculous birth of the King of Kings in a lowly manger, surrounded by the adoration of shepherds and, later, wise men from distant lands. 

As Jesus grew, His public ministry dawned, heralded by the powerful voice of John the Baptist, calling all to repentance in the Jordan River. Here, Jesus Himself, though sinless, submitted to baptism, revealing the Holy Trinity and starting His mission. Immediately following, His forty days in the desert showcased His faithfulness, conquering temptation where humanity had faltered, arming Himself with the very Word of God. His subsequent teachings, particularly the revolutionary Sermon on the Mount, laid out the radical demands of the Kingdom of God, inviting all to live with a purity of heart. He taught with authority, not just in words, but through parables— stories of lost sheep, prodigal sons, and diligent women, each illuminating God’s boundless mercy and tireless pursuit of every soul.

Throughout His ministry, Jesus revealed His divine power and profound compassion through countless miracles. Witness Him touching the untouchable, cleansing lepers, healing paralytics, and restoring sight, demonstrating His authority over sin and suffering. He commanded nature itself, calming furious storms with a word and walking on water, revealing Himself as Creator. He multiplied loaves and fish, feeding thousands from meager provisions, an act that pointed directly to the greatest miracle of all: His True Presence as the "Bread of Life," a divine nourishment given for eternal life, calling His followers to partake of His very Body and Blood (The Eucharist).

The journey culminates in the heart of our faith—the Paschal Mystery. Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, a fleeting moment of popular adoration soon eclipsed by betrayal and suffering. On Holy Thursday, in the quiet Upper Room, Jesus shared His Last Supper, instituting the Eucharist and the priesthood, and embodying servant leadership by washing His disciples' feet, a new commandment of love for all generations. Good Friday then unveils the ultimate act of love: the brutal Passion and Crucifixion. Here, Jesus, though innocent, bore the weight of humanity’s sin, His sacrifice on the Cross becoming the definitive victory over sin and death, a perfect intertwining of divine justice and boundless mercy.

But the story does not end in sorrow. Easter explodes with the glorious Resurrection, the empty tomb proclaiming life over death, hope over despair. Jesus conquered the grave, appearing to His disciples, solidifying their faith and commissioning them to carry His message to the ends of the earth. Forty days later, He ascended into heaven, returning to the Father, yet leaving His Spirit as a promise, ensuring His everlasting presence and empowering His Church until His triumphant return. This is the captivating narrative of Jesus—a life lived in perfect love, transforming human history and offering salvation to all who believe.
