World Refugee Day 2016 Presentation

Oscar Romero

Oscar Romero was the fourth archbishop of San Salvador. He spoke out against poverty, social injustice, assassinations and torture. His place of birth is Ciudad Barrios, El Salvador and he was born on August 15, 1917. His parents were Guadalupe de Jésus Galdámez, Santos Romero. Oscar Romero and his family were Roman Catholic. In 1930 a mass opened his mind and he was talking about being a priest at the age of 13. On the next part of his training he was sent to Rome and returned in 1943 as a priest at the age of 26 years old. His passion for speaking up for the poor was formed when his friend, Rutilio Grande, was murdered. Oscar Romero helped the poor by speaking and fighting for them and those who died and he did as much as could until he died. Romero knew that he was going to die, but he did it for the people. He made the government angry with him as he tried to speak out for those people by putting his voice on the radio and sending the Christian message of peace. Oscar Romero was assassinated during mass on March 24th 1980. He was assassinated because the government wanted him to stop sending the message of peace. It is believed that those who organised the assassination were Salvador death squads. 35 years after Oscar Romero was assassinated he was beatified by Pope Francis.

Vatican II

Pre Vatican II (Before 1960 approximately)	After Vatican II (After 1960 approximately)
All Mass said in Latin	Mass said in local language
Before the priest faced away from the people	Now the priest faces the people
People could only wear formal clothes	Religious education is taught in schools
Schools were only taught by Nuns and Priests	The blessings were changed
Only men had authority to participate in the catholic mass	Woman can now participate in the mass by reading, altar service and eucharistic minister
Music were all the same in all churches	Music selected by the Priest that suits the community

My Book Review: Nightmare Academy

Title: Nightmare Academy Charlie’s Monsters

Author: Dean Lorey

Setting: Nightmare Academy for those who have the gift.

Characters: Charlie, Mr Benjamin, Rex, Tabitha, Violet, Theodore, Pinch, Ogla, Reginald Drake, Director, Bar

akkas, Headmaster and Housemama Rose the characters are the ones that make this story alive.

It’s about a boy named Charlie who has the gift and he could open a portal for a stage 5 monster without going to Nightmare Academy.

He went to Nightmare Academy to stop opening a portal for a monster to come while he’s sleeping and to learn more about the gift he has and will now help getting the monsters back to where they're supposed to be.

It’s a story that makes pictures in my mind and seeing it how it is said and a really intriguing fascinating story.

even looking at the cover and title it looks interesting. It’s a really stunning book and I suggest you try reading it some time.

On the back of the book it says:

Your parents lied.

There ARE monsters under your bed.

Things DO go bump in the night.

But don’t worry.

At the Nightmare Academy…

we bump back.

What I enjoyed about it was how interesting it is and I liked the idea of the Nightmare academy and I like the Mimics and also how they smell like cinnamon. I think it is suitable for 9 year olds and older and my rating is 8 out of 10.

The Good Samaritan narrative

The Good Samaritan

The sun is hot, the man asks what must I do to have eternal life?

You must seek your neighbor who will then reward you God replies.

Woosh! said the wind. Then the man could see a couple of strangers come close to him. They suddenly start to beat him and strip him of most of his clothes.

He could taste blood.

People just walk past. He wonders what did God mean?

A man came up to him, but it is a Samaritan. The beaten man wonders what things would he do to him? The Samaritan picks him up. The Samaritan can feel the blood from his body. He carries the man off the road. The man is confused. Out of all the people that walked past the one to help him is a Samaritan. The Samaritan gives him a drink and heals him. The Samaritan suddenly left. He is as quiet as water. He finally understands what God meant. He felt loved.
