THE CHURCHES OF:
POPE FRANICS’ SECRETS TO HAPPINESS: Create Jobs for Young People. We find purpose in our lives through meaningful work; we are encouraged to take that one step further and ensure that young people have what Pope Francis calls “dignified jobs.” We can start the process early in our own families by assigning to our children household chores that teach them the importance of making a contribution to the family. We can involve preteens and adolescents in volunteer service projects where they can use their God-given gifts and talents. “We need to be creative with young people,” the pope urges, “in order to prevent them from slipping into drugs and despair. When we find ways to raise them up, we will discover in them and in ourselves a deeper sense of happiness.” QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Adults: Would you have the courage to tell others to do as you do in order to be Christian?
Children: What can you do this week to be an example to others?
