- What is the definition of a “saint”?
- What makes you a saint? Remember, we’re not talking about canonized Saints, but your own desire to follow Jesus all the way to heaven.
- Read the “Last Will and Testament” of Pope John Paul II. Using this as an example, write your own Testament — a spiritual will and testament covering the legacy that you would like to leave behind after your death, which could be read at your funeral. Note: Even if you choose to keep this so private that no one ever reads it, write it. Write it as a reminder to yourself of your spiritual goals, which you will re-read and revise every year on your birthday. Afterward, describe in the e-class the value of writing a testament in this fashion. (Do not post your actual testament online.)
