Our focus in class on October 1 was on the Bible, coming one day after the Feast of St. Jerome, who composed a Latin translation of the Bible.
During the first week of October is the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. The song "All Creatures of Our God and King" is based on one of his writings. I played the song as sung during the opening procession of the National Eucharistic Congress concluding Mass. (If you click the link, it will start within the first 5 minutes with the English verses before switching to Spanish.)
After a fun activity with library books, we watched a video in which Chris Stefanick explains the significance of Scripture.
Then we reviewed looking up passages of Scripture and looked at these passages:
Psalm 119:105
Deuteronomy 6:1-9
Matthew 5:1-12
Everyone wrote phrases from Matthew 5:1-12.
Per the words of Deuteronomy 6, which says to bind the words of God to us, which became the Jewish custom of phylacteries, I invited everyone to tape those words to me.

God speaks to us in His Words, and by keeping them close to us, we walk on the path toward Him.
Everyone took those index cards with words of the Bible home for the week.
Our closing prayer was the Taize song "Take, o Take me as I am".
May the Word dwell in us, and draw us closer to God.
We remain connected as One Church by faith in God, revealed in the Bible:
All my relations.
God's blessings,
Paul
