Testing Children

never put kids to the test too! XD
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I was testing the children in my Sunday school class
to see if they understood the concept of getting to heaven.

I asked them, "If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale
and gave all my money to the church, would that get me into Heaven?"

"NO!" the children answered.

"If I cleaned the church every day, mowed the yard,
and kept everything neat and tidy, would that get me into Heaven?"

Again, the answer was, "NO!"

By now I was starting to smile. Hey, this was fun!

"Well, then, if I was kind to animals and gave candy
to all the children, and loved my husband,
would that get me into Heaven?" I asked them again.

Again, they all answered, "NO!"

I was just bursting with pride for them.

Well, I continued, "then how can I get into Heaven?"

A five-year-old boy shouted out,

"YOU GOTTA BE DEAD."

Death is the only way to Heaven. After death, comes judgment, heaven or hell. To go to heaven, a Catholic must not die with even one unrepented mortal sin. Our hope is to go to Purgatory, or else frequent confession and daily sacrifice.
