“Mother Teresa told her sisters that to become holy doesn't mean we will be doing
extraordinary things, but rather ‘consists in accepting, with a smile, what Jesus sends
us. It consists in accepting and following the will of God.’… Mother Teresa makes
it clear that we must not only accept God’s will, but go one step further. God calls us
even to smile, to be thankful and trust him to know exactly what we need.” Donna Marie Cooper O’Boyle
Ask them: What can you accept with a smile?
Donna-Marie suggests: “Challenge the children to give away at least ten beautiful
smiles today and then to whisper a little prayer to Jesus for the people they have
smiled at. They can keep track of the smiles by drawing a smiley face each time they
have sincerely smiled at someone. For the younger ones, you can draw the faces and
they can color them in once they have passed on their sweet smiles.”
Purpose: Giving young children a chance to practice smiling as an act of love and
acceptance of crosses.
Tip: Involve parents with a note home.
Take a smile strips like the strips of numbers at secretary of state.
Qualities that they recognize.
Ages 11-14
