Year 5 Catholic Life
Our class liturgy leads led us in our morning celebration of the word where we discussed the CST principle stewardship. Pope Francis has asked us to care for Gods creation and be good stewards to it by caring for all that God made. st Francis of Assisi looked upon Gods creation as his brothers and sisters and so should we.
Today we attended Mass to celebrate the feast of Ss Cosmas and Damian, two doctors (and martyrs) who intercede for those who are sick or dying. They became Christian and practiced medicine and surgery free of charge. Despite persecution, they stayed true to their faith and were martyred around the year 300AD. They served for the Glory of God and were servants of his great glory.
This morning we discussed the importance of serving others, just like Jesus taught us to. We know that we show our faith by loving and serving other people in simple and little ways. We reflected on the reading from Marks Gospel about when Jesus was teaching his disciples about what was going to happen to him but the disciples were argueing amongst themselves he said ‘Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last and the servant of all’. What matters is that God wants us to care and love for everyone.
This morning we thought about in our class assembly out virtues ‘Curious and Active’, and we started with our family prayer as we prepare for the Jubilee Year. We reminded ourselves about the virtues and how they help us to become the people of God that he wants us to be. We always try to be the best version of ourselves in our school and the wider community.
Look at our beautiful RE display in our class for the children to focus on during our prayers.
Today we had a whole school assembly about caring for our creation and being good stewards. God created the whole world and humans so that we could take care of his creation, to live in harmony with his creation. During this season of Creation we hope to raise awareness and inspire action to protect our common home.
We found out about our class saint The Archangel Saint Michael, who is a chief angel. He fought against Satan and evil, he rescues the souls of the faithful from the power of the devil, to be champion of God people and to summon peoples soul from his earth and bring them to judgement. We are inspired by him to look after our Church and all of Gods creation.
We begin our first week thinking about our School Mission as it s at the heart of everything we do. We discussed how as a school community we live out our mission in our words and actions.
