Homework AFTER week 1 class
Required Homework
A time and prayer of Lament by Adam Gray, Spiritual Director
We recommend you do this piece of homework early in the week so you can easily remember the feelings you had during the teaching content.
Other things you might consider as you interact with this specific homework:
– pause the video after each question so you can really engage it
– have a journal ready so you can write down your thoughts and feelings
– listen to the homework while you take a walk, allowing nature to be a part of your experience
– engage with this video multiple times throughout the week as you process the things you are learning
Watch The “Casta System” (10 minutes)
Reflect on the narrative of race and history you’ve been taught. Take a few minutes to write down your reflections. Bring these thoughts to the next session.
• Who have I been taught to value?
• Whose stories have been left out?
• How does this affect the way I see myself, others, and God?

Listen to one of the following songs, which reflect the “mestizaje,” or mixture, of
indigenous, African, and Spanish cultural influences:
“You are in me and I am in you. I pray that they also can be one in us. THEN THE WORLD WILL BELIEVE THAT YOU SENT ME.”
John 17:21
