As stated from the past few sessions, we know that poverty may mean different things like being poor materialistically, being poor spiritually and many others.

For our Grade 9 outreach program, the entire batch took a trip to Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa, where we interacted with the inmates residing in it. We realized that these people likely experienced material poverty. Quite often, people who experience material poverty turn to crime to provide for themselves, and risk getting arrested and imprisoned. Some of them may also experience spiritual poverty. Without a moral compass, or a basis for hope, people could go about committing felonies without remorse and may end up incarcerated.

Matthew 25:31-40 reads, "I was in prison and you came to visit me." This is similar to the way we visited and interacted with the inmates in Bilibid Prison, and opened ourselves to them.

Type of Poverty: Material Poverty
Bible Passage: “Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” Matthew 19:21
Church Teaching: God teaches us that if we help those in need and materially poor, he will reward us will spiritual wealth and happiness in heaven. The poverty being seen is material poverty because of how the people we interacted are materially poor in wealth, being janitors, farmers, and public school teachers. The Catholic Social Teaching teaches us that we are created in God’s image and likeness and because of this, we must look out for each other for sharing the same goals and participate in justice and mercy.

# data[].attributes.body
Jesus would respond to the issue regarding the conditions of the prisoners by bringing up their concerns to those in charge of the prison. This is because they have the most power to change what happens in the prison.

The Catholic Social Teaching on Human Dignity is most applicable in this situation as it helps us remind ourselves that prisoners are still human and should be treated fairly like everyone else in society.

The grade 7 interaction was where we went to a public hospital where moms were giving birth. Here spiritual poverty us being experienced since many of whom were on their own and some of their children died. They were going through a lot.
Hosea 4:6
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being My priest.”

The appropriate social teaching used here is human dignity since these women feel abandoned and need to be with someone. They need support both spiritually and mentally.

Our group was assigned to analyze our Grade 10 Service Interaction where we interacted with orphans.

This biblical passage that may help us to solve poverty in the perspective of orphans is: "Because God cares about orphans, it makes sense that we should too. The Bible tells us to love one another as He loves us, and that includes everyone." (John 13:34-35)

If Jesus or the prophets were in such a situation, our group believes that they will teach them how to love and learn values in the teachings of God. Through this, the orphans will be taught to value and learn from the things they are presently experiencing.

One of the Church's teachings that we may apply is by the idea to love  those who are ignored in the society and through this, we will be able to treat orphans equally with our utmost love.

Our bukluran was asked to discuss about grade 8 interaction being the one who visited those who were mentally disabled.
Mark 8: 22-25 "Jesus Heals a Blind man" They will try to help these people who are suffering this kind of poverty and in Jesus' case he will try to cure them.
Faith solved their poverty by how they are still happy and grateful despite their disabilities and misfortunes. They always are optimistic and have that strong faith in God that everything will be better and they are grateful for everything that they have.

How will our faith be able to permanently solve poverty?

# data[].attributes.body
What I know is that poverty is that it is about lacking basic essentials and needs, and that it affects about 10% of the global population. And I know that our Catholic faith is helping because we try to help these people in need, and our church also is doing there best to help the people in poverty.

If poverty is solved, what else can Faith contribute towards the world?

We learned that Jesus really values those who are in need as he himself gave up his riches to be like us and even experienced greater suffering to save us which means that we should do our best to help others in our own ways.

Title:  least, last, lost
Caption: Jesus was once rich and almighty and in order to save us He sacrificed himself so we are expected to give back and  helped the least, lost and last, as by doing this we pay back the favor Jesus did for us.

We learned that we are given gifts equally and the best way to understand and fully develop these gifts are through Lenten season. We also learned that the Lenten season is all about opening our hearts to form relationships with others such as by helping the poor just like how Jesus did the same.

# data[].attributes.body
What this bukluran learned from this VTR and from our previous research is that the Lenten season, the poor and that God in general are all important virtues of being closer to Him and close to His divine presence. We learned that we should treat everyone with respect. Taino said that he learned that it is very important to take care of everyone. We are all our own brother’s keepers and we should take care of everyone. Moreover, it becomes more vital during Lenten season because it should enhance our emotions towards each other. Lent  guides into learning more and becoming more. Soller also said that the way we treat others is very important because that is essentially
how we treat God.

# data[].attributes.body
We discovered that Jesus shows importance to those who are in need and relates Himself to them so whatever way a person treats the poor treats Jesus the same way. Jesus was all rich and powerful but came to the world to serve and not to be served.

# data[].attributes.body
Jesus, Himself, gave up His eternal life alongside God, in heaven, in order to become poor and suffer, for us to become spiritually rich. During this Lenten season, we too must make a sacrifice to share our blessings with the poor in society, by becoming a good samaritan to those made victims of material poverty.

Bukluran 3: Opening our hearts to Jesus through the poor.

# data[].attributes.body
The poor and outcast represent Christ as Christ identified himself as 'poor in richness' while also having "richness which is poor". By opening our hearts to the poor through acts of generosity and compassion, we subsequently open our hearts to Jesus which can lead us to conversion and change.

We should all use our blessing for the unfortunate.
