Lesson Notes: The Corporal Works of Mercy

This week we’re focusing on the Corporal Works of Mercy and Jesus has some VERY clear teachings on them: basically, “if you didn’t do these things for others, you are ignoring me.  Off to eternal punishment with you!”

The language is much simpler than last week’s set of Spiritual Works, but we still want to make sure your kids know how each of them can work, so we have another game (this time, bingo).  To prepare, you’ll want to cut apart the Bingo Calling Cards and drop them into a bowl so you can randomly draw them for the game.  Simply read the descriptions on the the back of each as you play and use that as a springboard for conversation on how YOUR FAMILY can do some of them.

At the end, there’s a chance for each of your kids to put this into practice by picking something practical they can really do.  Simply have them fill out the Contract and post it somewhere in your house as a reminder.

(And you get to play bingo!)
