1. Define the term ‘beatitude’?  In my view I think that the beatitudes are a set things in which Jesus says on the mountain. Really the beatitudes are qualities of the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Heaven and it also indicates how each of them is or will be blessed.

2. Explain the purpose of the beatitudes?

- The purpose of the beatitudes is to explain the way the people in the kingdom of heaven are living or how they should live.

3. Select ONE beatitude and describe how inspiring people of faith put into practice the teachings of Jesus. Use an example to support your answer?

-Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
 

An inspiring person was Mother Theresa, she was very concerned bout world wars, and she was always trying to get world peace by helping  the less fortunant.

Here is a clip of the Beatitudes

     1.  What do you think the above image is about? Discuss. I think that the image above represents 2 very inspiration people in Andrew Johns and Mother Theresa and how they are different, like Andrew is an inspirational person because of what he has archived in his footy career, and then it shows Mother Theresa and how she became inspirational by helping the needy kids. In conclusion there are 2 inspiration people in different ways and for different things. Mother Theresa was an inspiring person of the faith and Andrew Johns was an inspiring person to ordinary people.

2. List FIVE personal qualities of Andrew Johns.-      Well he is honest because he didn’t object to taking drugs, he just came forward and admitted it.-      He is a leader towards others as he was captain for Australia.-      He is a trustworthy person.-        He is a very caring person and it showed in his team when he always was willing to help them.-      He is a compassionate person and it showed on the field as he gave 100% every time he played.

3)  List FIVE personal qualities of Mother Theresa.-      She was a very honest and trustworthy person.-      She was a loving and compassionate person.-      She was a person that follows in the footsteps of God.-      She was a very generous person.

-      She was a happy and dedicated person to her works and always helped people.

4. Discuss what you believe the difference is between inspiring people and inspiring people of faith.

Inspiring people of the faith is a lot more difficult as there you are doing things that goes hand in hand with the Catholic faith and Inspiring people is a lot easier as you can do anything inspiring and it doesn’t have to be in the Catholic faith.
