We journey with Christ

Our class is designed so that the students journey with Christ through the liturgical year. I am so proud of our class and their parents this year. I can tell they are receiving reinforcement at home. We have animated discussions about what is going on in our church every Sunday.

This Sunday we discussed the third candle of the Advent wreath, the rose colored candle. We discussed how the candle represents the joy that comes with Christmastime with the birth of Our Lord.

We used a Nativity set to discuss the night that Jesus was born. Using Luke Chapter 1 as our reference for the story, we explained the Nativity scene. Our students were right there with us because they have experienced this aspect of their faith at home.

We read the story of Juan Diego, and introduced Our Lady of Guadalupe to our class. As an honor to Mary, we played Andrea Botticelli's Ave Maria while assuming a posture of prayer.

Next week we will have our last class before Christmas break. We will pray the Third Joyful Mystery of the Rosary.  Please continue to work with your children on their rosary prayers.

Merry Christmas!

When we return to class at the first of the year, we will concentrate on the miracles of Jesus and the Luminous Mysteries.

May you find the joy of Christ this Advent, and God bless you all and your families this Christmas.

With Peace and Love,

Mrs. Miranda and Ms. Jordan
