Recommended: The issue of religion in schools

My experience at Mary Queen of Peace is like no other. I learned to strive through communities of faith, knowledge, and service. Out of my nine years Mary Queen of Peace, my favorite aspect was the amount of service we got to participate in. During my younger years, I learned how to respect others and help those around my community, from families, friends, and to the poor. As I got older, I got to really participate in the activities which I loved. Getting to make sandwiches knowing I was helping someone who was really in need was very enjoyable. Lastly, during my eighth grade year, I got to really see how my service to the community can affect people. It was like opening another door and I got to see what problems we actually have in our world. The service at Mary Queen of Peace is unforgettable and has become a big part of my life. …show more content…

Having the opportunity to go to mass every week as a whole school is a blessing that I fully didn’t recognize until eighth grade. I got to experience God with my classmates and friends. One of my favorite parts about all school masses was getting to participate by doing a reading or petition. During my time at Mary Queen, there were many opportunities to become closer to God. Through advent programs, masses, and prayer circles I got to grow with God in my faith. The religion classes at MQP are very interesting and where I got to learn about my faith all the way from kindergarten. Overall, the faith at Mary Queen of Peace is very strong and is a great part of my school

This book is the main source of information on Mary’s life, but there is no way to ensure that all of it is authentic. One should be aware of who truly had the control over this book, and how it may have affected whether or not all of the stories Mary had to tell got in. Without following the standard expected of her, she may not have ever been able to share her experiences like this.

  • Mary Rowlandson Reflection

    1575 Words  | 4 Pages

    Mary Rowlandson went through some very troubling times that I believe would cause anyone to form a hatred for the people responsible for the hardships that she was force to endure. I can see where she was coming from when she talks about the Native Americans. Rowlandson watched as her family were brutally killed and tortured by these “heathens” and then was captured herself, along with three of her children. Rowlandson and her youngest, Sarah were able to stay together throughout captivity, but her two oldest, Joseph and Mary, were separated from her. For this reason, I believe that Rowlandson’s attitude toward Native Americans does not change throughout her narrative. Saying this, I believe that Rowlandson see a side that certain Native American’s

  • Mary Rowlandson Humility

    237 Words  | 1 Pages

    What stands out the most to me about Mary Rowlandson’s depiction of her captivity is her humility through it all. In many ways I found her example to be encouraging to me as I read of the trials that she faced because through it all she never failed in her faith. Her humility is apparent as she discusses her situation with her son. It is clear how much she has lost and it would be understandable had she and her son chosen to become angry at God but instead she chooses to, like Job, show humility when he says, “naked I came out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return… blessed be the name of the Lord” (The Eighth Remove). She recognizes that everything she previously had belonged to God and she chose an attitude of surrender by admitting

  • A Summary On Jesus And Mary

    1194 Words  | 3 Pages

    Christianity is one of the oldest religions in the world, full of symbolism and historical figures that have caught the attention of many groups of people. Jesus Christ is the most talked about and most analyzed person from the Christian Bible, however, Mary has also been the topic of conversation for many, many time periods. She was once regarded as just the mother of Jesus, but as time went on and people began to look at her role in Christianity as a whole, she began to take on other roles including Mother of God, Mediatrix, and even Mother of all Christians. It is important for all Christians to analyze the origins of ideas in order to best understand how Biblical figures came to be known as the way we understand them to be today. Thus is the case with Mary. By tracing the understanding of Mary from the beginning of Christianity to today’s current society, we can better connect with past cultures and ideas.

    Over the four years that I have spent at Good Counsel, I became part of many activities. Each helping me evolve as a person and become stronger yet. Simple lists could be made of every activity that I have ever been involved in but it could never express to a person what I have learned and how it helped me to grow. Every environmental club, science club, political science club, service work, and S.A.D.D. club I was part of had a very special message to deliver to me. Whether the message was one of responsibility, or a life lesson, I grew from it. The Political Science club opened me to many new experiences. It allowed me the chance to attend the Model U.N., where I was asked to address today's top world issues. This club was very beneficial to me because I was exposed to topics and ideas that I had not previously been able to discuss or learn about in a classroom situation. The science club allowed for me to experience extra educational situations as well. I took part in a hovercraft competition, which was very educational while also allowing me the chance to work with others for a common goal.

  • Mary In The Flowering Of The Rod

    Many people recognize the religion of christianity as a faith that has transcended through a multitude of cultures. One of the most significant premises of this faith is the representation of the father, son, and the holy spirit that makes up the doctrine of the holy trinity. Though these figures of spirituality encompasses what it means to be a believer of the christian faith, H.D extracts the significance of Mary as the bearing mother of Jesus Christ and focuses on her matriarchal status that is attributed in Tributes to the Angels. H.D also conflates multiple characters of the bible within The Flowering of the Rod, and by identifying all of those who encompass significant figures, Mary, mother of God is foreshadowed within these exemplifying
