SACRAMENTS

• #tbt
• The picture I chose is of priests going into the ocean to baptize many people. This relates to sacraments tbt because I have already gone through baptism. This relates to Lent because Jesus is the one who allows us to have sacraments and during Lent we celebrate all that he has done for us.

MERCY

• The picture I chose is of two elderly women giving a homeless man some food. This relates to mercy because she is taking pity on him and trying to help him. This relates to lent because Jesus had mercy on us by dying for us to save us from sin.

STRENGTH

• The picture I chose is of a bench made up of the letters to the word "strength". This represents strength because the bench is strong enough to hold even the heaviest of things. This relates back to lent because Jesus had to have a lot of strength to die on the cross for us.

• The picture I chose to represent community is of a bunch of people laughing and having fun all together.
