LESSON 1: LOVE GOD, LOVE EACH OTHER
BEGIN WITH PRAYER:
WHO IS YOUR NEIGHBOR?
We are called to love God and love each other. That is the root of all Catholic social teaching. As a family read Luke 10:29-37 (The Good Samaritanā) and use it as a template to answer the question, who is your neighbor. How does this relate to you and your family today? Encourage them to mentally walk through their day and āseeā all their neighbors they have encountered:. When you have finished, watch the video below:
The video asks the question, "How you gonna love a God you can't see if you can't love the person you can?"Set a timer for 3 minutes and as a family recalls everyone they can think of that is their neighbor.āHow can we better love the people in our lives? Our friends, our family, our neighbors, our teachers, our co-workers, strangers and people in need?
