1. Opening prayer

Let us all remember that we are in the most Holy Presence of God.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Lord God,

You came to give honor to the least, those forgotten, overlooked and misjudged.
You came to give first place to the last, those left behind, misunderstood and undervalued.
You came to give a warm welcome to the lost, those who are orphaned, abandoned and destitute.

Help us to be your ears to listen to their cries.

Help us to be your voice speaking out love and acceptance.
Help us to be your feet walking beside those in need.
Help us to be your hands to clothe, feed and shelter them.

You came for the least, the lost and last of this world. Lord, hear our prayer. Amen.

Our Lasallian Prayer.

1. Clean government that puts the tax money back to
the community.
2. Good leader that is not corrupt.
3. Everybody must be educated.
4. Working hard to influence others.
5. Food prices must be low.
6. Get rid of traffic.
I put that we need to have a clean government first
because if our leader is still corrupt or not doing what
he or she is supposed to we will not get any progress in
our country even if all the people are educated.
I think that we just need a little more education and
action about Philippine poverty so that it could not
grow in foster, honestly, Filipino people are very
responsible they just adapt to what and how they
think they should act because of the government
which is another thing that is missing, good leadership,
guidance, and communication is what we need to end
poverty.

A 3-minute Read: CONCERNED FOR THE MARGINALIZED

St. John Baptist de La Salle was born into a world very different
from our own. He was the first son of wealthy parents living in

France over 300 years ago. Born at Reims, he received the tonsure at age eleven and was named Canon of the
Reims Cathedral at sixteen.

Though he had to assume the administration of family affairs after his parents died, he completed his theological
studies and was ordained a priest on April 9, 1678.Two years later he received a doctorate in theology.
Meanwhile, he became tentatively involved with a group of rough and barely literate young men in order to
establish schools for poor boys.

At that time a few people lived in luxury, but most of the people were extremely poor: peasants in the country, and
slum dwellers in the towns.

Only, a few could send their children to school; most children had little hope for the future. Moved by the
plight of the poor who seemed so “far from salvation” either in this world or the next, he determined to put
his own talents and advanced education at the service of the children “often left to themselves and badly
brought up.”

To be more effective, he abandoned his family home, moved in with the teachers, renounced his position
as Canon and his wealth, and so formed the community that became known as the Brothers of the
Christian Schools.

How did St. John Baptist De La Salle show his concern for In the given excerpt, which word/s struck you the most?
the poor people? Explain your answer.

He has seen the situation of the poor and was
determined to put his skills up to be a service of the
children and so, he left his family, wealth, and
renounced his position as Canon to go live with the
teachers and build his own community that was
known as Brothers of the Christian school.
The word/s that struck me was “far from salvation”
because when I imagined it, I felt so sad and sorry for
them and wished that they were in a better position
because it was like they were never going to get any
help but luckily St. John Baptist de La Salle is a
kindhearted man and he helped them.

REFLECTION:

Read and reflect on these quotes. What are these trying to tell you?

 Answer:
For me, this quote is saying that when you give
something you will never be poor like when you are
trying to help someone you won’t become poor by
helping them but instead you will become richer, rich
in kindness and compassion is what you will get
because helping someone in need doesn’t cost you
anything.

Answer:
I think what this quote is trying to say is that we
should help people in need, feed people that don’t
have anything to eat, love the animals that surround
us, take care of our elders, respect our parents, and
live life more but still keeping in mind the things that
we should not forget.

HABIT 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood

To be able to show your concern to the marginalized sector of our society, you need to understand their
situation in life, their struggles, and their way of life. You need to know their challenges and how they
overcome them. Sometimes wearing their shoes, you would be able to understand their different
situations.

After understanding their way of life, you may share with them some experiences in your life that you feel
you are somewhat the same. You may also share that sometimes you have to endure some painful
experiences that test your faith in yourself, in others and in God. The important thing is you both
understand each other’s life experiences.

RANDOM ACT OF KINDNESS

Simple Acts of Kindness (Part 1) | Jared Asher

https://youtu.be/GdYJr03eJjE

What is the message of the video?

Answer:
A simple act of kindness goes a long way. You don’t earn money or anything else by doing something
kind but what you will get is the outcome of what you’ve done and the joy in the faces of people and
animals that you help, someday it will all come back to you. Don’t expect to get anything after you do
something good but hope that someday it will all pay off, as my favorite youtuber said “pay it forward”
meaning if someone helps you just remember to “pay it forward”.

Am I capable of doing random acts of kindness towards others? How?

Answer:
Yes, I am very capable of doing random acts of kindness like when someone drops or forgets their things,
I can help give it back to them or like when someone needs another set of hands to help carry their
things like groceries.
