As you work on your social action project (committed to 12 hours of dedicated time to giving service to others) plus responding in a Wiki format with your group of three, you will answer the following question: In light of your understanding of disciple, what does it mean to be a disciple of Christ to others through your project? You will share your thoughts and observations and actions of setting up to kinds of things you did to what you observed or saw to the final pieces of your project. At the end of your project (Dec. 2 or what you have completed thus far), your group will come up with a group response to what is a disciple based on your social action journey.

Let's start answering this question    tonight.

//What does it mean to you to be a disciple? What is a disciple?//

I think being a disciple means trying to make the world around us a better and more equal place. I think it means trying to ensure that all persons have their basic physical, emotional and spiritual needs met. I think this means trying to live a Christian life based on justice, compassion, forgiveness,love and service. I think it is more than simply talking the talk, but also needs to be about walking the walk. I think one of the great opportunities we have as educators is to be of service to others. As Catholic educators we are constantly presented with opportunities to serve our students and also our local communities (Advent Families, Food |Drives, building wells and schools in Africa, etc)It is through involvement in activities like this that we demonsrate discipleship. We do Christ's work on earth.

In my social justice project, I run the Breakfast Club at my high school. It is something that I did not necessarily want to do. But I knew it was something that our school, especially our students, needed. In fact, prior to me accepting it needed to happen and approaching the community program partner for money there were a few 'signs' that I tried to ignore. I was hoping if I didn't notice the problem might go away. However, I finally accepted that this was something that I was being called to do. I believe this is discipleship.
