Biblical criticism 21gregc https://padlet.com/21gregc/eh3232oyodyt/wish/266933740 The good samaritan - Luke 10: 30-37
30 In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. 31 A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. 32 So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.33 But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. 34 He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 The next day he took out two denarii[a] and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”

Prayers 21gregc https://padlet.com/21gregc/eh3232oyodyt/wish/266936807 Caroline practised many Catholic traditions and spoke many prayers. She followed the 10 commandments but was greatly inspired by the commandment of " love thy neighbour". She never treated people as if they were different or less of a person. This commandment is shown in the parable of the good samaritan, as it tells people to treat people equally and that is what Caroline did when she stood up for the dignity of women. ]]> 2018-06-13 02:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/21gregc/eh3232oyodyt/wish/266936807 21gregc https://padlet.com/21gregc/eh3232oyodyt/wish/266938648 2018-06-13 03:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/21gregc/eh3232oyodyt/wish/266938648 4. Analysis of Caroline Chisholm's writings 21gregc https://padlet.com/21gregc/eh3232oyodyt/wish/266938827 Kindness shone from her face, with never a hint of weariness and it was obvious that God had granted her all the courage and energy she needed for this living work for her ‘neighbour’
I was impressed with the idea that God had, in a peculiar manner, fitted me for this work; and yet I hesitated . . . my delay pressed on my mind as a sin; and when I heard of a poor girl suffering distress and losing her reputation in consequence, I felt that I was not clear of her sin, for I did not do all I could to prevent it.
During the season of Lent that year, I suffered much; but on Easter Sunday I was enabled, at the altar of our Lord to make an offering of my talents to the God who gave them. . . .
. . . I felt my offering was accepted and God’s blessing was on my work

Church response 21gregc https://padlet.com/21gregc/eh3232oyodyt/wish/266942485 Caroline aimed to make many improvements to how women were treated. She voiced many of her concerns to the public until she was heard and changes were made. She tried to improve the inequalities between men and women. In 1891 Pope Leo XIII released an encyclical Rerum Novarum. This encyclical focused on capital and labour and had 7 principles. One of the principles was human dignity. The encyclical was released 14 years after Caroline died and had many of the values that Caroline followed. Caroline devoted her life to helping those in need and with her persistence and devotion to helping those less fortunate and striving for equality many people believe that she influenced some of the principles in the encyclical.]]> 2018-06-13 04:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/21gregc/eh3232oyodyt/wish/266942485 6.

Caroline Chisholm Society 21gregc https://padlet.com/21gregc/eh3232oyodyt/wish/266972585 The Caroline Chisholm Society is a organisation based in the 21st century.  This organisation helps mothers and their young children. Their organisation was inspired by the story of Flora and how Caroline helped her. This organisation has had many similar situations. They provide support for all women and their families. They can help lift some of the financial stress many new parents face by providing maternal goods. They also help support the mothers mentally and socially if they are feeling stressed. This organisation follows many of the same values as Caroline such as respect, compassion and justice. ]]> 2018-06-13 08:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/21gregc/eh3232oyodyt/wish/266972585 Bibliography 21gregc https://padlet.com/21gregc/eh3232oyodyt/wish/266979396 Iltis, J.
