Dear 6th and 7th graders,
Some of you were wondering how to protect the pages of your Bible when you are carrying it around in your backpack/totebag. I would suggest investing in a Bible cover, like the ones you see on this website:
There are all different designs, and they’re really useful for keeping highlighters and sticky tabs for Bible reading, too.
Some bookstores may sell them, but you can also use a regular book carrier which would work just as well.
Happy Bible reading!

Even though you may not be old enough to vote, the Church tells us that being a responsible citizen is part of being a good Catholic. The Church says:
In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral obligation. This obligation is rooted in our baptismal commitment to follow Jesus Christ and to bear Christian witness in all we do. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us, “it is necessary that all participate, each according to his position and role, in promoting the common good. This obligation is inherent in the dignity of the human person. . . . As far as possible citizens should take an active part in public life” (nos. 1913-1915).

Part Two: Create a POSTER ADVERTISEMENT to persuade teens to get involved in Faithful Citizenship (choose one or two to focus on)

Lord God,
as the election approaches,
we seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront our city, state, and country,
and how the Gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens in our community.
We ask for eyes that are free from blindness
so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters,
one and equal in dignity,
especially those who are victims of abuse and violence, deceit and poverty.
We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children unborn and those abandoned,
men and women oppressed because of race or creed, religion or gender.
We ask for minds and hearts that are open to hearing the voice of leaders who will bring us closer to your Kingdom.
We pray for discernment so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word,
live your love, and keep in the ways of your truth
as they follow in the steps of Jesus and his Apostles
and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace.
We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
