My hope

Description:

My hope
Students of Catholic religious education from Primary School Ljubo Babić, Jastrebarsko, Croatia, under the leadership of religion teacher Katarina Pučar, participate in a radio message with the theme of peace. The sentences they say are from the Bible, Christian holy books and masterpieces of world literature, and they all speak of peace. As the last element, a line from the biblical Psalm 62 is included, which is repeated several times: “Only in God is peace, my soul, only in him is my hope.” Accordingly, the name of the message was chosen: „My hope“. The students recite the words of the psalm in the languages they learn or know: English, German, Italian, Ukrainian, Russian, and it ends with the recitation in Croatian by a child who represents the future generations to whom we must create and transmit peace.
Transcript of the radio message:
We are students of Catholic religious education and we are for peace. We learn from the Bible in which it is written: From the book of the prophet Jeremiah: “For I know the plans I have for you – is the word of God – plans of peace and not of calamity: to give you a future and hope.” Psalm 122: “For the sake of my brothers and friends I will shout: ‘Peace be with you!'” From the Epistle to the Philippians: “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.” From the First Epistle to the Corinthians: “For God is not a God of discord, but a God of peace.” From the Gospel according to Matthew: “Blessed are the peacemakers: they will be called sons of God!” From the Gospel according to John: “I told you this so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble, but be of good courage – I have overcome the world!” From the Gospel of John: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you.”
Only in God is peace, my soul, only in him is my hope (Ps 62, 6 in English, Ukrainian, German, Italian, Russian and Croatian language).
