I know I am a bit of an unconventional religious Education teacher. I try to share my faith, my songs and my stories to make this Catholic religion “real-life.”
We did a few crafts, practiced a puppet show, discussed deep questions of faith and morals.
I am honored to be your CCD teacher and you will be in my prayers. I hope you continue to grow in your faith. Don’t be afraid to call on God to guide and protect you.

God’s not dead!

Apostles Creed:

I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.

Amen.

Daniel and the Lion’s Den (Daniel Chapter 6)

1And Darius the Mede^* succeeded to the kingdom at the age of sixty-two.

2Darius decided to appoint over his entire kingdom one hundred and twenty satraps.

3These were accountable to three ministers, one of whom was Daniel; the satraps reported to them, so that the king should suffer no loss.

4Daniel outshone all the ministers and satraps because an extraordinary spirit was in him, and the king considered setting him over the entire kingdom.

5Then the ministers and satraps tried to find grounds for accusation against Daniel regarding the kingdom. But they could not accuse him of any corruption. Because he was trustworthy, no fault or corruption was to be found in him.

6Then these men said to themselves, “We shall find no grounds for accusation against this Daniel except in connection with the law of his God.”

7So these ministers and satraps stormed in to the king and said to him, “King Darius, live forever!

8 All the ministers of the kingdom, the prefects, satraps, counselors, and governors agree that the following prohibition ought to be put in force by royal decree: for thirty days, whoever makes a petition to anyone, divine or human, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into a den of lions.

9Now, O king, let the prohibition be issued over your signature, immutable and irrevocable^* according to the law of the Medes and Persians.”

10So King Darius signed the prohibition into law.

11Even after Daniel heard that this law had been signed, he continued his custom of going home to kneel in prayer and give thanks to his God in the upper chamber three times a day, with the windows open toward Jerusalem.

12So these men stormed in and found Daniel praying and pleading before his God.

13Then they went to remind the king about the prohibition: “Did you not sign a decree, O king, that for thirty days, whoever makes a petition to anyone, divine or human, except to you, O king, shall be cast into a den of lions?” The king answered them, “The decree is absolute, irrevocable under the law of the Medes and Persians.”

14To this they replied, “Daniel, one of the Jewish exiles, has paid no attention to you, O king, or to the prohibition you signed; three times a day he offers his prayer.”

15The king was deeply grieved at this news and he made up his mind to save Daniel; he worked till sunset to rescue him.

16But these men pressed the king. “Keep in mind, O king,” they said, “that under the law of the Medes and Persians every royal prohibition or decree is irrevocable.”

17So the king ordered Daniel to be brought and cast into the lions’ den. To Daniel he said, “Your God, whom you serve so constantly, must save you.”

18To forestall any tampering, the king sealed with his own ring and the rings of the lords the stone that had been brought to block the opening of the den.

19Then the king returned to his palace for the night; he refused to eat and he dismissed the entertainers. Since sleep was impossible for him,

20the king rose very early the next morning and hastened to the lions’ den.

21As he drew near, he cried out to Daniel sorrowfully, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God whom you serve so constantly been able to save you from the lions?”

22Daniel answered the king: “O king, live forever!

23My God sent his angel and closed the lions’ mouths so that they have not hurt me. For I have been found innocent before him; neither have I done you any harm, O king!”

24This gave the king great joy. At his order Daniel was brought up from the den; he was found to be unharmed because he trusted in his God.

25The king then ordered the men who had accused Daniel, along with their children and their wives, to be cast into the lions’ den. Before they reached the bottom of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

26Then King Darius wrote to the nations and peoples of every language, wherever they dwell on the earth: “May your peace abound!

27I decree that throughout my royal domain the God of Daniel is to be reverenced and feared:

“For he is the living God, enduring forever,

whose kingdom shall not be destroyed,

whose dominion shall be without end,

28A savior and deliverer,

working signs and wonders in heaven and on earth,

who saved Daniel from the lions’ power.”

29So Daniel fared well during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
