Today we went over chapters 8 and 9 in our book.
Here we practice the story of John the Baptist. Others question John about what it means to repent and he answers!
Today we also heard the story of the shepherd and the lost sheep.
“Then Jesus told them this
parable: ‘Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them.
Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the
lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it
on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors
together and says, “Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.” I tell
you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over
one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do
not need to repent’” (Luke 15:3-7).
We broke into groups of 3 and drew pictures of this parable. We worked really well together to decide who would draw what and how we wanted it to look.
Tomorrow is the Feast Day of St. Blaise. Ms. Barb came in to speak to us about St. Blaise and then she said a blessing over each of us.
Homework:
Pages 105 and 106 in the book
The Word of God paper in our folders
Don't forget how important it is to get the homework completed each week! It shouldn't take more than 10-20 minutes at the most! It is a great chance to show your child that you value religious education and this special first communion year!
