Your other team mates are researching about how to teach people about their most important job. Your task is research about those individuals who heard the lesson and took it to heart. THE SAINTS! These are people from the time of Jesus until today who heard about the truth of Jesus, virtues, the Church etc. and said, "I believe. I want to save my soul!" And they did. Now they live forever in inexpressible light, happiness and peace with God and everyone else. People do not accidentally become saints. It involves a lifetime of looking at, speaking to and loving Jesus Christ. A lifetime of asking, "How can I be like Jesus?" They find the answer in prayer, in working for their neighbour, in receiving the Sacraments, of fostering virtue and of listening attentively to the Church in the Pope, bishops and priests. This whole while the Holy Spirit works in their hearts to form the very image of Jesus; like a master artist the Holy Spirit forms Jesus in us. "This sounds great!" You may be thinking. "I'll do some research on some specific saints, maybe see how they lived, miracles they did, interesting stories and the like. Maybe I'll even investigate how the Church officially names and recognizes saints. But wait... what does all this matter? So what, a few people saved their souls, how is this relevant to convincing other people? How is it relevant to me?" Because everyone is called to be a saint! Even you! You are meant to be like Jesus! It is relevant because many people can be more convinced about something when they see an example of another person, and not just the theory. YOUR TASK: DISCOVER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ABOUT HOW THE SAINTS MADE SAVING THEIR SOUL THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE. ARE THERE SAINTS WHO INTEREST YOU? WHAT IS A MARTYR? WHAT MAKES A MARTYR DIFFERENT FROM SOMEONE WHO IS NOT A MARTYR? WHAT ARE BASIC CHARACTERISTICS ABOUT SAINTS? ARE THEIR ANY? WHAT MIRACLES WERE DONE OVER THE YEARS? WHAT ARE RELICS? HOW DOES THE CHURCH NAME SAINTS? ALL THESE QUESTIONS AND MANY MORE MAY BE HELPFUL. BUT THEY ARE ONLY A ROUGH GUIDE. REMEMBER TO TAKE LOTS OF HANDWRITTEN NOTES DETAILING THE WEBSITES YOU VISIT, ARTICLES AND BOOKS YOU READ ETC. YOUR HANDWRITTEN JOUNRAL SHOULD INCLUDE WEB ADDRESSES, TITLES OF ARTICLES, KEY WORDS, SUMMARIES OF WHAT YOU READ AND YOUR OWN REFLECTIONS. KEEP ALL THIS NEAT AND TIDY. The following are some links to help you get started. These should not be thought of as either necessary or sufficient, they are a way to help you begin your research.
