    This is my first religion class ever. This is my first time using a blog. So far the three top things I learned this year are lectio divina, Cardinal Patrick Hayes,  and the definition of a Hayesman. Lectio divina is reading the bible. Cardinal Patrick Hayes created a Catholic Charities to help the poor. A Hayesman is for God and country. With this knowledge I can go to church and be blessed by the Lord so he could protect me. Then I could help others.
    Like Saint Francis and Mother Lange I want to make the world a better place.
