A Community of Love

The young people will dramatize the Incarnation.

The young people should be able to state the mystery of the Trinity as three Persons in one God.

• Three signs: God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit

• Ask three volunteers to dramatize the Incarnation.
• Give the volunteers the signs to wear.
• Have them form a triangle by facing one another with arms outstretched.
• Say: The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are a community of love. Each person is distinct, yet together they are one God. All are equal in power, and all have no beginning and no end.
• Direct the "Father" to send the "Son" with words such as "Son, go to the people I love and become one of them. Save them from sin and death."
• Have the student who is God the Son remove his or her sign, write "Jesus: human" on the other side, put it on again, and sit down with the rest of the class members.
• Say: God has revealed himself to us through creation, through Scripture, and through his wonderful saving deeds. But Jesus is the perfect revelation of God.
