Hello, ~ name is Joan Etter.
I'N going to speak to you today about Forgiveness. Can you say "Forgiveness"?
When I speak about Forgiveness, I also need to speak about God, Love, and the
people he created, all the different people he creatod,(those we know and those
we don't know, those who are near us and those who are far away).
We know about God's work of creating his world we live in. We know that when
he had finished with his creation, he looked at everything he had made and saw
that it all was very good._ He was well-pleased with everything he had made.
He looked at all the different people he had created, each one, and was well-
, leased. He was very happy.
God created us to Love. He wants us to Love him. When we Love God, we will
also love ourselves, and love each other, and all of the other things God
created-and made.
Each one of us is most valuable and important to him. And therefore, each one
of us must be most valuable and important to ourselves and to each other.
Because God created us to Love, we know we are able to do this. Loving as God
'~ Loves is something we must decide we want to do. It wont just happen magically.
If we want to do this, we can ask God every day to help us learn to do this
and he will teach us.
But learning to Love as God Loves can be most difficult to do..Sometimes it
seems almost impossible to love ourselves after~we have had an angry or hurtful
thought or word about ourselves or have done something hurtful to ourselves.
Sometimes it seems almost impossible to love someone else after he or she has
made us angry or has hurt us.
But then we can remember that God created us to Love: ourselves and each other
and that e Bch one of us is most valuable and important to him and therefore
we must be most v~l.uable and important to ourselves and to each other.
God wants us to let go of the anger and the hurt and to give it to him, so we
can once again Love as he Loves. If we can tell him we are sorry for our
wrong thoughts, words, or deeds toward ourselves or someone else and we tell
him we donut want to do it again, and we are telling him the Truth, then God
will no longer be disappointed with our not Loving as he Loves. He even Forgets
that we didn't Love as he Loves. This is his Forgiveness to us. He is waiting
to Forgive us.
Giving Forgiveness is part of our work of learning to Love as God Loves. Being
able to forgive ourselves or someono else can be most difficult to do. Some-
times it seems almost impossible to do. But we can do it, if we want to do it,
by asking God to help us. And he will help lzs 7_earn little by little.
Each and every time we do Forgive ourselves or someone else, we have Loved as
God Loves a little bit more. The more we Love as God Loves, the more his Love
will glow on our f aces......and the happier we will be.~

The
Secret
of
Childhood
Mary of the Oaks
Montessori School
River Rd. in Oak Hill Addition
Bryan, Texas

Through scientific observation of children Dr. Maria
Montessori" developed an educational philosophy by
which trained adults help the self education of the
child, so that he will not be the victim of events, but
will rise above them to direct and shape the future of
human society.
"Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952)
Medical Doctor, Scientist, leader of the Women's
Rights Movement, developer of the Montessori
Method for the education of children, educator of
special and normal children, parents and teachers,
author.
Books by Maria Montessori:
The Formation of Man
The Montessori Method
The Discovery of the Child
The Pedagogical Anthropology
The Advanced Montessori Method
The Child in the Church
Peace and Education
The Secret of Childhood
Erdkinder and the Function of the University
Education for a New World

What You Should Know About Your Child
The Absorbent Mind
The Child in the Family
The child of 2'/x-6 has such tremendous inner
motivation to understand and control his environment,
his senses, and the means by which mankind com-
municates (language, writing, reading, math, the arts
and love) that an average home environment cannot
possibly fulfill this need.
The family love a child feels seems only to nourish a
greater desire for knowledge.
The prepared environment of Mary of the Oaks, in-
cluding the teachers, is such that helps clarify in the
child's mind through the use of his large and small
muscles, and all his senses as much as the child
wishes and is capable of learning.
Mary of the Oaks is a free but well-planned
"childrens' house". Well-planned in that it contains
the interest of the group. Free in that the child may
move about following his inner motivation as long as
safety and the respect for the rights of all are present.
He must be free so that he may learn by himself, by
trial and error. Yet, as the furnishings are scaled in
size to fit the child, so also are his jobs scaled; so
that, in the process of building himself there would be
no need for despair.
The children come to Mary of the Oaks School to grow
in mind, body and soul.
The Montessori Method relies heavily on the parents'
understanding, encouragement, and cooperation.
The parent helps the child grow:
1. by ordering the home environment so as to help the
child learn the basics of human communication.
2. by reading and discussing with the parents and the
child's teachers the fundamental .Montessori
philosophy,
3. by joining into the planned family activities at Mary
of the Oaks.
Mary of the Oaks is just a 5 minute drive, west from
the Texas A&M University campus in the Oak Hill Ad-
dition off River Road.
