These lectures introduce various prayers and practices, and together we learn basic knowledge about liturgy and the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Through small-group sharing, we aim to foster exchange among believers. Participation from those who are not newly baptized is also welcome! ≪Greeting from the Chief Priest≫ Baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is the foundation of living as a Christian. Because through baptism, we are drawn into the greatest grace: spiritually joining the relationship with Jesus the Father. Furthermore, God did not desire to sanctify and save people individually, without any interaction whatsoever, but rather to establish them as a people who recognize God based on truth and faithfully serve Him. And this people, while proclaiming the joyous coming (the Gospel), continue their "journey" toward the completion of God's kingdom together with humanity. Deepening our understanding of this Christian origin is the goal of this course (see sections 16 and 21 of "The Synod of the Church").
