CATHOLIC VALUES EDUCATION

An adaptation of Bronagh Crook’s original presentation

Objectives:

To explore a range of ideas from where you, as Catholic School

teachers can get values

To go away with an idea of where you want your school to go in the

future… in regard to Gospel values

“…I have come that you may have life and have it to the full.” John

History of ValuesBlessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heavenBlessed are those who mourn,for they will be comforted.Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.Blessed are those that hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.Blessed are the merciful,For they will receive mercy.Blessed are the peacemakers,For they will be called children of God.Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter allkinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, foryour reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecutedthe prophets who were before you.

Matthew 5:3-12

History of Values: Gifts of the Holy Spirit

A shoot springs from the stock of Jesse,A scion thrusts from his roots:On him the spirit of Yahweh rests,A spirit of wisdom and understanding,A spirit of counsel and power,A spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh,(the fear of Yahweh is his breath.)He does not judge by appearances,He gives no verdict on hearsay,But judges the wretched with integrity,And with equity gives the verdict for the poor of the land. Isaiah 11:1- 4
