Virtues: Eloquent and Truthful.

 Eloquent is the ability to speak fluently and appropriately. It is important that when we choose words, we do so carefully so they are kind towards others. We can look to Jesus as our example as how we should treat others. 

Truthful means we should be honest following in Jesus footsteps to live life the way God wants us to. It is important that we live truthfully and follow our Catholic faith. 

Catholic Social Teaching: Options for the poor and vulnerable.   

By following Jesus' example we should always consider ways we can help those most in need in our society. In our class prayers we will be reflecting on ways we can help others and praying to God to give anyone who is vulnerable the strength they need.                                                   

Our Class saint is St Bernadette. 

Our Lady appeared to  St Bernadette in Lourdes 18 times!

Our Lady asked St Bernadette to drink from the dirty water in the stream. St Bernadette did so without questioning and the next day came back to find the water was clean. It was later found that the water had miraculous healing powers making Lourdes a place of pilgrimage for many people.  

Our Lady told St Bernadette that she wanted a chapel to be built in Lourdes. St Bernadette was strong to her faith even when others questioned her. Due to her love for God and loyalty to her faith she convinced others to build the chapel which is now visited by millions of people each year. 

We are going to use Bernadette example for us this year.
