Ask: What types of things the people in the video did to live and show love? (helped others, took care of nature, and took care of their children, kind to each other) Say: God’s dream for each of us is to answer His call to Love. God’s dream is that we will love each other, just as He loves us. Slide 8 Read to students the book; God’s Dream by Archbishop Desmond Tutu (if you do not have this book a video of it being read can be found at this .) Once the book is done say: You see God wants us to love, that’s why He has given us this wonderful vocation of Love! Introducing the Contest Began by discussion how they (as children) can answer God’s call to love. They are too young to get married, or become a priest, or travel to other places and serve the poor, but are there things they can do that show love for others? Brainstorm a list of ways they can answer Jesus’ call to love (help mom and dad, be kind to others, forgive others, share their toys, etc.) Tell students that they will now have a chance to create something that shows how they will live the Vocation of love. Say: In our Catholic schools we dedicate time to learning about vocations and the different ways God calls us. We will learn even more about the Vocation of Love! The week is called Vocation Days and during vocation days there are posters, essays and poems chosen that help to teach us about Vocations. Explain that they get to choose to make a posters, essay or poem that teaches others how to live the vocation of Love and maybe whatever they make will get chosen to be put up during vocation days. Possible Ideas They may want to write ‘Vocation Days 2017, ‘A Vocation of Love’ and draw a priest, nun, married couple etc. like in the video. They may want to write ‘Vocation Days, Called to Love’ and draw Jesus calling them to love or someone doing something loving for someone else (sharing, helping, etc.)
