Eucharistic encounter in student life

In recent years solid thinking on the part of religious educators have revealed more and more that the defect of our religious education is at the classroom level. Religion teachers have failed to make contact with their students as Filipinos. Christian values have not leavened Filipino values and ways of thought. Rather these came to exist side by side with the mores of a latent bayanihan culture. The problem, therefore, is how to realize a living and deepening Eucharistic encounter in the lives of high school students. How to integrate the Church\u27s Eucharistic life to their particular and concrete situation, so that it becomes a priceless value in their life as teenagers? This paper aims to discover the Filipina teenager\u27s felt needs and values at the sophomore level of high school with due consideration for the dominant traits of Filipino culture, In the light of the knowledge gained certain practical applications for the religion teacher will be drawn to make her preaching strike responsive chords in the adolescent’s concrete life situation. No new approaches to the presentation o! doctrine will be made here, but there will be an attempt to gear the facets of the Eucharistic mystery to the student as she is in her person, her interests and her environment
