Live your faith

During the Catholic Social Teaching Section we looked at the idea of See, Judge, Act as a way to be more aware of being Catholic in our every day lives.

As a family try working through some of these ideas below.

See

Who do you see around you that takes care of the earth?
What type of things do you see people doing that show they love creation?
How often do you ask for things that you don't really need?

Look around your house do you have lots of extra things that you just don't use?
Do you see how people are effected by the choices you make? (Think about buying cheap things, having long showers, the amount of waste you create)
Do you see how animals, wildlife and nature are effected by how humans live?

Judge

Pope Francis.

Now think about:

What makes you happy? Is it having things, is it being with others, is it playing or spending time with family and friends?
How often do you get new things, use them for a while then forget about them?
Why do you think you can buy such cheap clothes and toys? Is this a good thing?
Do you need all the things you have or do you just want them? What makes you want them?

Act
