This
week your child learned that God made all people good,
regardless of their color or size. God has created us in
God's image and likeness. All human beings share the
same human dignity. This is the source of the firm
commitment of Catholic faith to work for justice for all
God's people.
Ask
your child to explain in his or her own words what each
of the Faith Summary statements on page 35 means. Talk about the
goodness and gifts in your family and in others in your
parish and neighborhood. Reflect on what it means to be
fair and just to all.
Your
child will be aware of people who are not
"good," who are not acting as God wants. Point
out that we are free to choose to be good or to choose
to be bad. Some people choose not to do what God wants.
God
wants us to treat one another with love, justice, and
respect. During this week point out to your child the
many wonderful things that people of different cultures,
nationalities, races, and creeds have done to make our
world better and more beautiful.
Paper
Doll Activity
Help
your child make these paper dolls. Fold a piece of paper
in half and in half again. Show how to trace the outline
of a person onto the paper. Then help your child to cut
out the paper doll on the folded side. Open up the paper
and color each doll differently. Display the dolls to
remind your family to pray for all people.
