Mary Mackillop 2017

In our class we have been learning about Mary Mackillop and the Josephites. I have created a presentation to show what I have learnt. The challenge was to finish the presentation in one day, which has to include a timeline of her life, a quote that means something to you, her role in the Josephites, four facts about her and make a prayer about her. I was happy that I finished on time. Everything was relatively easy but the hardest part was finding the important dates to put into the timeline.

The 8 Contributions of St Francis of Assisi

                                        We are learning about Saint Francis and how he showed Peace and Joy.

 Nowadays his work is still carried on by the brothers and sisters of God.

 I have created a presentation to tell you how we can carry on the work of Saint Francis. 

I have learnt that where there is light there can not be darkness. Hope you enjoy!

The Resurrection

The Resurrection

Lord, today I experienced the resurrection many times,

When I forgot my lunch

but my friend offered me yummy lunch.

When I had to wake up early for school

but learnt a lot of new things.

Lord, the resurrection means more than coming back from the dead; it is having faith in each tomorrow

Amen.

Jesse Tree Week 1

Jesse Tree Week 1

We are learning about the Jesse Tree. We have copied this and this is the References:http://www.loyolapress.com/the-jesse-tree-for-the-first-week-of-advent.htm

Week 1 Day 1

The Jesse Tree was created to help people link the custom of decorating Christmas trees to the events leading up to Jesus birth. The tradition of decorating Christmas trees actually predates the arrival of Christianity in western Europe and was adopted by the early Church. In order to associate the custom more clearly with Christianity, people made Jesse Trees—Christmas trees with decorations related to the events of Jesus' birth and the prophecies about him in the Old Testament. Many parishes and families make Jesse Trees during Advent to remind them of these events as they prepare for Christmas.

Week 1 Day 2

Genesis 3 tells how Adam and Eve's intimacy with God and with each other is disrupted. The serpent enters the scene. The serpent represents anything that can separate a person from God. The woman, with the man as her silent partner, speaks to the serpent. They examine the possibility of disobeying God. Will Adam and Eve accept God's moral order and trust in his love?

Week 1 Day 3

The story of Noah is told to illustrate how deeply the human family has fallen into sinfulness. Sin is now so universal that a troubled God decides to complete the work of destruction that the human family has begun (Genesis 6:13). However, God sees that Noah is a good man and decides that humanity will survive through Noah's family. God tells Noah to build an ark, which God will use to save Noah's family and members of the animal kingdom. God is pained by and disappointed in humankind, but in his mercy he will save the human family through Noah.

Week 1 Day 4

Abraham stands before God, facing the future. God had promised that Abraham would be the father of many descendants, but his wife, Sarah, seems unable to have children. So Abraham believes he will die childless and that his steward, Eliezer, will be his heir. God assures Abraham that this will not happen, promising Abraham that he will have a son with Sarah. More than that, the descendants of Abraham will be as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Week 1 Day 5

Then, unexpectedly, God sends an angel with the message that Abraham must sacrifice his son Isaac. As bitter as the message is, and as hopeless as it makes Abraham feel, he obeys without hesitation. He gathers his servants and Isaac with wood for the sacrifice and sets out to the appointed place. The last part of the way he goes alone with Isaac, who is made to carry the wood for his own sacrifice. On the way, Isaac asks his father what animal will be sacrificed. Abraham answers that God will provide.

Week 1 Day 6

While on his journey, Jacob arrives at a certain place and rests there, using a stone for a pillow. In a dream, he receives a divine revelation. He sees a ladder, or perhaps a ramp, going up from earth to heaven. The shape of Jacob's vision may have been inspired by the shape of the ziggurats of Babylon, which had ramps going up their sides to the place where the deity was said to dwell. On the ramp in Jacob's dream are angels, roaming up and down, patrolling the earth and reporting back to God. In his vision, Jacob meets God. God confirms the covenant made to Abraham and to Isaac that their ancestors will be as plentiful as the dust on the ground and will spread from east to west. Jacob will also receive God's protection wherever he goes.

Week 1 Day 7

Pharaoh has Joseph brought before him. Joseph hears the dreams and correctly interprets their meaning. The seven fat cows and stalks of grain are seven years in which harvests will be abundant and the cows will be fat. The next seven years will be a period of famine. After interpreting the dreams, Joseph advises that Pharaoh appoint someone to oversee the harvesting and ensure that enough grain is saved in the first seven years to help Egypt survive the seven years of famine. Pharaoh agrees and appoints Joseph vizier, second in authority only to Pharaoh himself, to carry out the plan. Joseph marries an Egyptian woman and has two sons. The first he names Manasseh (“forgotten”), to show that his previous suffering has been forgotten. The second is Ephraim (“God has made me fruitful”).

Please comment down below, I would love to hear your thoughts.

My father you're so holy,

you love me so much.

You are like a fortress

You saved me from starvation.

comforting a child.

You helped us not to sin

and you forgive our sins

because you love us so much.

For thine is the kingdom,
