Blog Post #1- Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus?

Jesus is someone who we can look at and try and model our life to be like his. He is our savior and messiah sent down by God to save us from our original sin. He was born of the virgi Mary and died and resurrected back into heaven. I went to a catholic grammar school from kindergarten all the way to eighth grade and still continue to learn about my faith here at NDB. I would go to church with my class once a week and I got expand my catholic knowledge there as well. Through the Priests homilies is where I feel I really learned about my catholic faith. 




What I Learned This Unit in Living the Gospel

I came into class with a lot of knowledge already but I learned a better under standing about how the holy trinity is one in unity. You can't have one without the other and all three, Jesus, God, and The Holy Spirit work together to help people all over the world. They are there to help and guide us through any difficulties or good times. God came first then the Holy Spirit and then Jesus. They work as a unit. You can't have one without the other.

How do I see Jesus                                                    

When I think of Jesus I always think of him in a spiritual way. He is half man and half God, and came down from heaven to save us from original sin. I believe this because this is what I have been taught to believe.  I feel that I have a deeper connection with him through prayer. I see him also as a teacher who taught us how to better follow the Lord God. He is our savior and sacrificed himself for us. 


How Would I describe My Relationship With Jesus?

It is hard for me personally to describe the relationship I have with Jesus only because I feel I have a deeper connection that we both understand when I'm praying to him. I look to him when I need guidance or when I feel helpless. I do find myself praying to God more often but I always know when is the perfect time to pray to Jesus. He is like my friend. But he is also viewed by me as a teacher who teaches the gospels. I have a good relationship with him I hope.

Blog Post #6 - Beatitudes

Chamblee, Jess, director.  The Beatitudes Song  .  Youtube  , 24 June 2014, www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yxs5wFpnGg. This is the beatitude song. It is a beatiful song that makes you feel happy and want to do good. Maybe listening to this song once and while you can remember to apply the beatitudes to your life.  I’ve been learning about the beatitudes since I was in kindergarten but during this unit with Mrs. Manalo I learned that although the beatitudes and 10 commandements seem the same since they kind of act as rules for catholics to live by, the are different. The 10 commandments are 10 things you should basically never do like don't kill people or living things and don't steal. Except for the two honor your father and mother and go to church on sundays. Those are the only things you should do. The beatitudes on the other hand are 8 guidelines to apply to your daily life. Before this unit I just thought they were rules but when Mrs. Manalo taugh...

Blog Post #4 - Prayer

Image
(Tracy , Brian, director.  The Four A's for Expressing Gratitude  .  Youtube  , Youtube, 22 Nov. 2016, www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLMbaNG3G3Q.) This video talks about 4 ways to be thankful and how it won't only impact your life but the people around you as well.  I choose this multimedia presentation because it teaches people why and how you should be thankful for everything in your life. It goes along with the theme of this unit of prayer and giving thanks to God for all he does.  1. I have a very good understanding about what prayer is but during this unit I learned new things that I haven’t before learned about in all my years at a catholic school. I learned that they’re many different types of ways to pray and each type of prayer has a unique requirement that you do. For example, when you're reading a bible passage in a group, you have to re-read the bible passage with you group over and over again until you and the people you're with have a v...

Blog Post #3 - The Four Gospel Writers

Image
During the presentations I learned that each of the four evangelist has a symbol that represents them. Mathew is a winged man, Mark was a winged lion, Luke was a winged ox, and last John was an eagle. I also learned that the four gospels writers didn’t right at the same time as one another and that only two of the writers, Matthew and Mark, followed Jesus while he was still alive. I focused more on Luke and from research I found that he wrote his gospel around the time of 85 c.e. Luke didn’t personally know jesus so he got his information primarily from St. Paul who was spreading the word of christ. Lastly I learned that all of the Gospels were originally written in greek rather than hebrew which would’ve been the best guess someone would have. (http://www.uncutmountainsupply.com/icons/of-saints/by-name/m/apostle-matthew-the-evangelist-twelve-apostles-series-1ma22/) There were many similarities between each passage that the writers wrote but I noticed that in Matthew's and Ma...
