Last Things

 Update.  I forgot to get photos!  Arrrrrgggghhh!  We subbed for two fifth grade classes today, too!  In my defense, I did a promotion for VBS in the gym twice with the Sunday CCD classes.  The two classes had a ton of work finishing their study guides, tests, etc.  The kids write their prayer intentions on Post-it notes.  There was some difficulty folding the flat boxes.  We had to explain that dogs do not have souls and the person must have died before they could enter Purgatory.  I completely forgot to take photos.  We made a list of ideas for people to pray for in Purgatory, including poor souls who have no one to pray for them, and of course Pope Francis.  Sorry.  I’ll try again next time.

My husband, Rob, and I are subbing again later this month for a fifth grade class.  They’re studying ‘Unto Everlasting Life or ‘Last Things’.  (Their teacher says that the group loves to act out Bible stories.  We’ll create rain storm and assign loads of animal noises for Noah’s Ark, too.)  But I like to add a hands-on lesson for the kids, too.  I want the class  to make Purgatory Boxes.  I love the article’s association with St. Padre Pio.  We’ll add a bit about him, too.  The blog post  has this List of Prayers.  Here is a complete lesson with a video about St.Padre Pio.  I’ll post more after the lesson.
