Moment 1. Prayer.

Adaptation of Matthew 5, 38-48. It is a dialogue between a boy, a girl and Jesus

JESUS: Look, you know that because we are very stubborn we have been told "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth", but I say to you, never do wrong to anyone.

GIRL: Yes, Master, but when someone annoys you... you know

JESUS: Yes, I know, but if someone slaps you on the right cheek, give him the other; if someone asks you to go with him one kilometre, go with him two; to him who asks you, give, and to him who borrows from you, do not make excuses

BOY: What you are asking us to do is very difficult

JESUS: Do you want to be happy? Do you want to be my disciples?

OY: Of course I do.

JESUS: If you really want to be happy, you have to learn to really love everyone. You can't love only the one you like. Look carefully, you have to love even your enemy

GIRL: But Jesus, that's very difficult to do! Besides... What if they insult me?

JESUS: Only when you truly love will you understand what it means to be a brother and son of our father God.

BOY: So... do we have to love everyone, even if we don't like them?

JESUS: Only then will we be children of our father God. Because if you love those who love you, what's so special about you? Everybody does that.

GIRL: That's true. But they're so hard to do, you can get so lonely

JESUS: They are not difficult, they are simple and also the only way to understand that we are all brothers and sisters and that we must make life happier every day for everyone we meet. We have to imitate our heavenly father and love each other as he loves us.

BOY: Very well, Master, we will try to do all these things you tell us, but help us.

JESUS: Don't worry. He who trusts in me knows that I am always with you.

Moment 2. Shared reflection.

Today Jesus tells us something very difficult to do: to love those who hurt us. Before Jesus was born, a long time ago, there was a rule that said that if someone hurt you, you had to hurt them back; that if someone hit you, you had to hit them back. This sounds familiar, doesn't it? Sometimes, when someone insults us or hits us in the playground, we feel like doing the same, but you know that, in the end, we all end up angry and the fight is not resolved.

But how can we love someone who fouls me just when I'm about to score a goal in the playground? Well, a very nice way to love others is, after taking a breath and counting to 10, to explain that I don't like that and please don't do it again. And if it doesn't work? Then we tell someone else (a teacher, for example) to help us. Defending ourselves with our own words is very difficult, and adults also have a lot of trouble with it. In fact, you know that there are many countries in the world that are fighting, like Ukraine and Russia. Why are they fighting? It is difficult to explain, or rather to justify, because you know that grown-ups sometimes complicate things too much, but perhaps you can understand it if we compare it to neighbours who don't get along because one wants the things that the other one has. That can sometimes happen to us too, and it's not right.

So, today we are going to learn other ways of using our words to solve the fights we may have between classmates. If we learn them well we can also use them with our siblings, parents, etc.

Moment 3. Creative proposal.

We are going to colour, cut and glue some dolls with clues to solve the problems with the others. These dolls have to be dressed. On each piece of clothing there is a sentence.

1. How I feel (the hat).
2. PWhy (the dress or trousers).
3. How it can be solved (boots).

On each photocopy there are two dolls with four different situations. Students can choose the combination they like best. They can make one doll each or two, depending on the time available. After cutting out the dolls, they can hang them on a string in the form of a garland or glue them all together on a white continuous paper, depending on the material available.
