Virtues & Themes: Possible Connections
Theological Virtue: Love
The gift of Christian love enables us to love God above all things and to love others as God loves them. |
There are so many different groups of people in our world, and all of them are made in God's image. Try to count how many people in your class, your family or your school. Divide them into fractions by class or gender, add and subtract groups from the whole. As this is being done, consider with students how God's beauty is in each one of us here and throughout the earth. We are all God's children, called to love one another. |
Cardinal Virtue: Justice
A just person fulfills their obligations to God in prayer and worship, and to neighbour in mercy and fairness. |
Learning to count money is an excellent way to teach students about justice. We can practice addition, subtraction, counting backwards, forwards and fractions in the context of buying and selling. The aim is to be just to our neighbour - by paying a fair price for goods, work or services and giving proper change for goods. |
Catholic Character Theme: Community
The Holy Spirit unites us as a community, and gives each of us gifts to help one another grow as followers of Jesus. Community is visible whenever the friendship, love and kindness of Jesus are present in our Catholic schools. |
A community is made up of many parts. All of these parts together make our community whole. We have boys and girls, big and small. We can count how many people are in our classroom community. We can divide ourselves into fractions, but we always come back together as whole community. We can add to our community, but we can’t subtract and leave people out. That’s not community. |
Catholic Character Theme: Solidarity
Solidarity is about standing together with a person or group of persons who are suffering. We belong to one another as a community, and if one member suffers, all of us are suffering. As disciples of Jesus, we are called to solidarity with all persons both near and far away. |
There are many different groups of people in our school. There are many different groups of people in our world. We can count the number of students, of classes, of countries. If one of them suffers, we all suffer, and we must help them. Just like fractions and parts of the whole, we belong to one another, and we must stand up for one another. |
