GOOD LUCK, 3G SCHOLARS!  You got this!!! 

Happy Easter

The Paschal candle

On Holy (Maundy) Thursday the entire church is darkened by extinguishing all candles and lamps. This represents the darkness of a world without God.

The Paschal candle represents Christ, the Light of the World.

The pure beeswax of which the candle is made represents the sinless Christ who was formed in the womb of His Mother. The wick signifies His humanity, the flame, His Divine Nature, both soul and body.

Five grains of incense inserted into the candle in the form of a cross recall the aromatic spices with which His Sacred Body was prepared for the tomb, and of the five wounds in His hands, feet, and side.

During the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday night the priest carries the candle in procession into the dark church. A new fire, symbolizing our eternal life in Christ, is kindled which lights the candle. The candle, representing Christ himself, is blessed by the priest.

Are you ready for a day to focus on your hearts, souls, and bodies? 

If you any assignments that you have not completed, you will have until next Tuesday to get caught up as much as you can.

Writing - Persuasive writing.  Email me the title of your favorite movie (remember to capitalize the title). In your paragraph (6 to 8 sentence) persuade (convince) me to watch your movie. Tell my why you like it so much and why I should watch it. Why is it the best (adjective that compares)?  Write in complete sentences using correct grammar and punctuation. I’m looking for some movies to watch, so hopefully I’ll get some good suggestions.

After you complete it, but it in your Take Home folder.
