1 Correlation Love Is Our Mission: The Family Fully Alive World Meeting of Families with RCL Benziger s Be My Disciples Grades K 8 1/15

2 Introduction Contents We are pleased to share with you the correlation of RCL Benziger s Be My Disciples with Love Is Our Mission: The Family Fully Alive (LIOM), the preparatory catechesis for the VIII World Meeting of Families 2015, Copyright 2014 by World Meeting of Families Philadelphia. Published 2014 by Our Sunday Visitor. As you study this document, please be aware of the following: The Kindergarten section of the correlation is based on Stories of God s Love Kindergarten, RCL Benziger s Early Childhood curriculum. Stories of God s Love is the foundation for Be My Disciples. At each grade level, references correlated to Be My Disciples Student Books are listed first, and where applicable, followed by references found in the Catechist Guide and Teacher Guide (CG/TE). The correlation is organized by grade level using the ten chapter themes found in Love Is Our Mission: The Family Fully Alive. An overview of these themes can be found on the World Meeting of Families 2015 web site ( Many of the concepts taught in the lessons of Be My Disciples relate specifically to paragraphs in the Love Is Our Mission document. In those instances, you will find that the corresponding paragraph numbers are listed in parenthesis in the correlation. Be My Disciples lesson concepts that provide a foundation for a LIOM theme or address a LIOM teaching in general are listed in the appropriate chapter area within the correlation. For example, an entry might read: Grade 1, Theme 1, Created for Joy: Chapter 5 (#100); CG/TE: Ch. 5, Scripture Background, The Book of Genesis. This indicates that paragraph #100 is explicitly addressed in Ch. 5 of Be My Disciples. The Catechist Guide/Teacher Edition entry, The Book of Genesis relates more to the spirit of the chapter or theme in the LIOM document than a specific paragraph. The CG/TE activity builds on or lays the foundation for the LIOM theme.
