http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09620a.htm
The image on these pages is taken from the illuminated manuscript,
the Psalter of Ingeburg. These pages, from the Catholic Encyclopedia,
give a very thorough history of illuminated manuscripts.

manuscripts, from the Bodleian Manuscripts and Book of Kells, to
The Book of Hours.

'Messiah'.
5. Follow me (pages 10-11)

The activity listed above is for pupils to look at both good and
bad leaders. This site, (mentioned already for another lesson plan),
includes biographies for Hitler, Mussolini, Idi Amin and similar
leaders.
http://www.gardenofpraise.com/leaders.htm
This site is very American. If you can find your way past lists
of presidents, there are some interesting leaders featured on this
site. There are stories of women such as Helen Keller and Florence
Nightingale and even leaders as far back as Constantine and Hippocrates.

6. Healing the paralysed man (pages 12-13)
http://re-xs.ucsm.ac.uk/gcsere/coursework/gobbets/gobbet28.html
This is a fascinating article on the miracles of Jesus, outlining
all those that are mentioned and exploring (in a fairly objective
fashion) whether the miracles happened and what are their significance.
http://www.gcsereligiousstudies.co.uk/anointing%20the%20sick.htm
This is part of a paper for older pupils, but gives an interesting
GCSE approach to the anointing of the sick and Jesus' attitude towards
the sick.
http://www.arimathea.co.uk/paralyti.htm
John Chrysostom's learned writings on Jesus' healing of the paralytic
is accompanied by a striking icon depicting the story.
