Prayer and motivation (HOOK)
Great day, dear learners! I am Teacher Janet R. Tarray and I will be your teacher in this subject, Christian Living
Education in this module we discuss; Greatness in the eyes of God is about how we love others as we love
ourselves, The Holy Spirit leads each believer to be a person for others. Saints are considered as the
Church’s heroes who models of greatness.
What is exactly a saints?
A saint is a person who is believed to be especially close to God. Some saints are prophets, or messengers of
God. Others are healers, doers of good deeds, or martyrs. A martyr is someone who is killed for belonging to a
religion.
One of the great gifts of our Catholic tradition is the remembrance of and prayer with the saints. The Church offers us an
official canon, or list, of saints. On All Saints Day we recall and pray with these saints. It is important to continue to tell
these stories of saints.

ACTIVITY
Mary grew up learning about the promise of the Messiah. When she was a young girl, Mary was engaged to a
man named Joseph. Before they were married, she received a vision of an angel who asked her to be the
mother of the Messiah she had waited for her whole life. Mary accepted, saying "Behold, I am the handmaid
of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word" (Luke 1:38).
Since Mary was the first to hear about the mission of Jesus, she is his first disciple. She dedicated her life on
earth to following him and supporting his work. She showed others how to follow Jesus as well. Her faith
came from an understanding of the great gifts that God had given to her, especially the gift of her son Jesus.
By following Mary, we can see the way to love Jesus more deeply and appreciate how much he loves us.
