Virtues: Intentional and prophetic

An intentional person is someone who does things deliberately.

To be prophetic is to speak about what is right. If you are intentional and prophetic you do good things for others and tell people, why you have done it.

 Catholic Social Teaching: Rights and Responsibilities

 In Year 1 we understand the rights we are entitled to and the responsibility we have towards others to uphold their rights.

We have a right to education, health care, safety and to be treated with dignity.  We will be praying for those who are not as fortunate as we are.                       

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.
