Deus, mistério de amor

: uma literacia religiosa mais próxima a partir da unidade letiva 2 do 9º ano «Deus, o grande mistério»

Abstract

This final report, the culmination of the Supervised Teaching Practice (STP), within the scope of the master's degree in religious sciences, was carried out at the «Escola EB 2, 3 D. Fernando II» of the Monte da Lua School Group, in Sintra. During STP, I deepened the teaching of Unit 2, «God, the Great Mystery», of the Moral and Religious Catholic Education program, for the 9th grade. I tried to stimulate the learning process and also to make the students develop skills and attitudes that would meet the domains presented by the 2014 CMRE program of the National Secretariat for Christian Education. This paper aims to make a contribution to better literacy, pedagogy and strategies for how we should approach the question of the Mystery of God to students and their relationship. Starting from the Trinitarian Mystery, we are called to be ourselves through our mutual relationship with God. We are God's image in a diversity of refractions, as a reflection of intradivine diversity, and actors of his pure agapic love, which is given to us by grace and is based on the polyhedral and multifaceted communion of people and their relationships. With this report I intend to delve deeper into what each of us is called to be, from a coexistence that maintains a healthy balance between identity, difference and unity. Within a polyhedral Church, there is room for everyone to contribute with the best of themselves, giving rise to complementarity and harmonious multiplicity based on differences. Only with this respect for the differences desired by God will we achieve the deepest communion among all. I tried to enrich this teaching unit 2 by giving my contribution so that the students could value the differences that are present in each of them and so they could understand that the differences of each human being are part of an integral communion. We are all called to welcome what is different in each human being, so that, through the differences, we can live a polyhedral communion among all, thus moving towards a total communion in the being of God, fulfilled in eternal life.
