Started Circle of Grace curriculum for 8th grade. The Circle of Grace is the mandatory Archdiocesan Safe Environment program for students k-12. The Catholic Church teaches that God has created each of us as unique and special. Genesis 1:27 tells us that we are created “male and female in God’s image” and that God saw this as “very good.” In that goodness, we are meant to respect ourselves and everyone else as persons created and loved by God. The goal of the Circle of Grace program is to educate and empower children and young people to actively participate in a safe environment for themselves and others. The 8th grade curriculum is “How to be Morally Responsible in Today’s Culture.” Students will identify values that reflect moral decisions. We will spend 2-3 days on this program. This actually fits in nicely with the Sacrament of Confirmation prep.

I try to use Thursdays (though not always) to reflect on the Gospel for the upcoming Sunday. Hopefully you and your student can get to Mass and when hearing the Gospel, they will have some idea of what it means. We may reflect on the setting, some history and certainly what the message is Jesus is conveying to us. There is usually a worksheet or activity of some kind to help us in our reflection. They can also see how the sermon given by the priest mirrors what we talk about in class (or not).
So, today we reflected on Lk 14:25-33, Jesus talking about the demands of discipleship. It is not easy. It begins with God being number 1 in our lives…. always……before money, sports, “sleeping in”, before video games, cell phones, iPads, before parents, siblings, children and yes, even our own lives. Jesus uses a couple of parables to help us better understand what discipleship means.
