The Catholic educator of the 21st century faces, among multiple challenges, the task of bringing Sacred Scripture to his students experientially, making it more than a simple work material used during religion classes. We confirm, from the teaching experience, in the area of religious education, that the use we make of the Word is, rather, instrumental, insofar as it can serve to validate a catechetical-doctrinal proposal that we are proposing. Few times do we face Sacred Scripture itself, trying to discover its saving message for our lives. In short, we teach a biblical passage and we do not provoke reflection on what was the historical situation that generated it and on and how it can be updated to enlighten us today. If this observation is real, it is also true, the ignorance and little vital approach that our teachers have to the Word. In this sense, this work seeks to promote in the students of our university a knowledge of various biblical characters and arouse an identification with the very human experiences that they lived. For this reason, I propose the design of a semester biblical course that presents in parallel the great events of the Old and New Testaments: Exodus - Covenant and Resurrection - Eucharist. From these events it will be possible to understand the meaning of the Holy Scriptures, comparing our experience of faith with that of biblical characters: Jeremiah and Ruth in the Old Testament and Saint Paul, the Samaritan woman and the disciples of Emmaus in the New Testament. It is intended to make an approach to the Bible that allows us to capture in depth the salvific history, discover ourselves within it and assume the responsibility that corresponds to us when we contemplate the world and history from the light that the Bible offers us. Now, surely we cannot read materially all the books of the Bible, therefore, I propose a selection, bearing in mind that this selective reading is always in function of presenting the entire message. Despite all the above, I am not unaware of another factor that, without a doubt, can condition the use of this proposal: the new generations are characterized by their resistance to remembering; or, what is more dangerous, considering that memory is the simple recovery of useful data. Faced with a generation that attributes little relevance to the past, what can these characters, taken from a book so old that it narrates a reality different from their own, contribute? Wouldn't it be better to spend the time building our own story? We will have to respond by affirming that authentic remembering implies recovering the possibilities forgotten in the past as the basis on which the present is built. The wisdom of the past questions us, broadens our horizon and guides us towards a new and hopeful future. In this regard, Rafael Aguirre Monasterio considers that keeping a memory of what God has worked throughout history is a guarantee of what continues to work in each one of us.
