Lavender is a nice purple flower. It is part of God’s creation, as He created nature all around us. When we take care of nature and of the environment we feel at peace.

Reflection
Symbols help us to learn and to communicate. The Lavender flower is a symbol of peace and purity. It is almost impossible to visit any store or shopping mall and fail to encounter lavender in any form. In the past, lavender was used by glove makers to purify their merchandise to avoid infections. To be peaceful means to purify yourself, to be free from all that is bothering you.
Activity
Throughout this month, students will make an effort to smell something of lavender. Then quietly breathe in and out while listening to this music and glancing at the lavender in the video. This helps them to start experiencing gradual peace in their hearts (just the first minute or two):

Prayer
