ICYMI, this month is the month of the Rosary! The Rosary is a great way to pray. We ask for Mary's help and prayers from heaven while she reminds us to "do whatever He [Jesus] tells you". All of my students are discovering more about the Rosary and Mother Mary this week. In 3rd grade Religion Class we completed a Rosary Diagram where students matched the prayers with the corresponding beads and then colored the pictures. We taped the diagrams up on the wall - photos coming soon! In Extended 4k, students are beginning to understand what a Rosary is... it is not a necklace to wear but a sacramental that we use to help us pray. We also are diving into the different ways that Mary was important in Jesus' life, especially at Jesus' first miracle at the wedding feast at Cana. They were so excited to watch a short movie about it on Monday! :) Even After Care is under the protection of Blessed Mother Mary! Students and some teachers take part in a prayer to Mary, under the title of "Mother Thrice Admirable", a devotion originating from the Schoenstatt community. It is impressive that some of the students are starting to memorize it! Lastly, did you know that during Extended 4k Rest Time we listen to relaxing/reflective music? One of the songs we listened to today while resting is called "Mandatum Novum", which means "new commandment", a Latin hymn used in the Church for Mass on Holy Thursday. The first time I heard this song was when I had to learn to sing it! I was in the choir for the entire Easter Triduum this past year for St. Norbert Abbey in De Pere and this song was one of my favorites to practice! It must have been a good selection for today's rest time too because half of the students fell asleep! (That doesn't usually happen!) Check out the song below! Prayers for all of you reading this today! May you always "do whatever He tells you"! God's love never fails and He is always with you! You are beautiful and loved! -Miss Corrie #TuesdayswithMissCorrie
