MEMORIZE

Matthew 5:2-12
and He began to teach them, saying:

³Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

⁴Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

⁵Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

⁶Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness,

for they will be filled.

⁷Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy.

⁸Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

⁹Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God.

BLOOD BROTHERS

HW: Journal 24 Chapter 12 TIED-IED paragraph response (this one needs two quotes). Turn it in on Monday hard copy (you may turn in a hand written copy as long as it can be detached from your journal). 

Choose one question to answer:

• The very title of Chapter 12, "Work, for the Night is Coming", implies there is a sense of urgency in the chapter. How does Chacour display this TONE of urgency in his writing of Chapter 12?
• We notice change in Elias in Chapter 11 and it seems these changes continue to evolve in Chapter 12. Does Elias, himself, have a sense of the changes he is undergoing? Give evidence form Chapter 12 to support your claim.
• Although they seem more urgent than ever, the metaphors, "bridges and walls," are used again in Chapter 12. How are the two still evident in this chapter?
• Chacour has wonderful word choice and extensive use of imagery and figurative language. What is the effect of the imagery you've noticed?
