In this week's lesson, students learn about the third blessing and promise of the Beatitudes. They explore the concepts of meekness, land ownership, and caring for the planet. They will examine different ways we can show gentleness to ourselves, each other, and the earth.
Children's book recommendations to accompany this lesson are The Vast Wonder of the World: Biologist Ernest Everett, written by Melina Mangal and illustrated by Luisa Uribe; and Where Are You From? written by Yamile Saied Mendez and illustrated by Jamie Kim.
