The document discusses Catholic social teaching and its call to help those suffering in society. It references the Transfiguration of Jesus and compares discriminated groups in Jesus' time to the Freedom Writers. Mrs. Gruwell and the students are presented as continuing Christ's mission by reaching out to struggling students and bringing them God's love, just as Jesus defended the outcasts of his day.

“I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.” (Song of Solomon 2:1)
In the days of great faith during the Middle Ages, the Christian faithful honored the Blessed Virgin Mary in many ways, especially as the mother of nature and all living things. Closely connected with what grows from the earth as their livelihood, they saw Mary's attributes in the plants and flowers of their fields and gardens and named many of them after her - thousands of them. Legends about the flowers developed as people sought to connect them with Mary's virtues or events from her life. People also planted "Mary Gardens" and filled them with these plants named for Our Lady. These gardens were designed to be places of beauty, prayer, and contemplation that raises the heart and mind to heaven.
Featured in this slideshow are just 12 among the many plants named for the Blessed Mother.

Mercy - Jesus taught his disciples how they are to live as Christians. He said that if they wanted to follow him they are to exercise mercy rather than revenge. They were to exercise grace, humility, mercy, forgiveness and generosity.
How Can I Be A Neighbor? The Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)Mark Wickersham
This was a middle school assembly presentation I gave at Tianjin International School (China). Jesus tells us we are to show love and compassion to those we encounter in life.

"Go boldly forth!" (EG261) says Pope Francis, and we can do this in our parish community - but where do we start? The power of taking action in our local community to reach out to meet those who are poor, vulnerable and oppressed and discover Christ in them is an inspiring for every person who experiences this. Jesus Christ and Pope Francis inspire us with examples of being "border-crossers" of going to 'the margins' of society and loving those we meet. We can follow their example, and doing so as a parish community is a transformational experience of God's evangelising love for the world. In this workshop you will explore how to engage with your local community, the practical steps of beginning a local outreach program and gain an understanding how your Catholic parishioners can grow in their faith through taking action in your community with people and families who are in need of support.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
What Should be the Christian View of Anime?Joe Muraguri
We will learn what Anime is and see what a Christian should consider before watching anime movies? We will also learn a little bit of Shintoism religion and hentai (the craze of internet pornography today).
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
1. THIRD GRADING PERIOD FACING THE REALITY OF HUMAN SUFFERING TRUSTING IN GOD’S LOVE FREEDOM WRITERS CSR- Integral part of Christian Faith
2. “ Evil, however powerful it may appear doesn’t have the last say.” “ We still see so much suffering and pain around us.” The life brought to us by Jesus Christ is never complete.”
3. “ The Transfiguration of Jesus” (Mark 9:1-8) After six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John and led them up a high mountain apart by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became dazzling white, such as no fuller on earth could bleach them. Then Elijah appeared to them along with Moses, and they were conversing with Jesus. Then Peter said to Jesus in reply, "Rabbi, it is good that we are here! Let us make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He hardly knew what to say, they were so terrified. Then a cloud came, casting a shadow over them; then from the cloud came a voice, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."
4. How did Mrs. Gruwell come down from the mountain? Compare and contrast the society in Jesus’ time with the Freedom Writers. Who were considered “Peter” in the movie?

39. But because of the worsening situation of the poor across the world and more complex social relations brought by the Industrial Revolution, the Church has realized its need to augment its charitable works with efforts for newly coined “SOCIAL JUSTICE”
This is not a comprehensive list, but it does include the major official texts. Note that the teaching changed significantly over its history, because of the changing social, economic, and political realities. One can break this century into three periods: Industrial Revolution and its aftermath 2. Globalized world – in the 60’s and 70’s the teaching began dealing with issues involving not just relationships within nations but also between nations. Post Industrial world – John Paul II’s writings reflect the dramatic changes in technology, and communication that have transformed the world. The lack of documents between 1931 and 1961 is largely a reflection of the fact that Pope Pius XII did not issue social encyclicals like other Popes. Instead, he addressed social issues and social teaching in a series of Christmas radio addresses.
Begin by explaining Commutative Justice – between individuals – as in a one-to-one contract. Then introduce the concept of society – Distributive and Contributive Justice. Each involves the more complex and less obvious set of relationships and structures that make up society. Distributive justice – how the benefits and burdens of society are distributed. Examples – tax burdens, social security benefits, FHA loans Contributive justice – our duty to contribute to the common good. Examples – voting, paying taxes, etc.
