In the Level III Atrium this year the children have engaged in a number of typology studies, some of which will continue into the Easter season.
Typology is a way of looking at God's plan as it has been revealed throughout history by comparing what we know of the past, particularly through the events of the Old Testament, to the life of Christ, our current lived reality in the Church, and then by taking time to ponder what the patterns we find reveal about the future. God's plan, revealed in the Bible and lived in the liturgy, is one plan. Thus, after reading a passage from the Old Testament we look to see parallels, echoes, or "types" in the moments of Redemption and Parousia. Augustine spoke of this reality of God's Plan as a "Golden Thread" that unites all of history.
