Discuss: What does agape mean?
How did Mother Theresa show agape?
We will be learning about Christian charities which demonstrate the the moral of the Good Samaritan: ' Love other's regardless of their background (unconditional love).'
In St Matthew’s Gospel, when asked what was the greatest commandment, Jesus said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first & greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbour as yourself.' This Christian love is known as agape- a selfless love of others.
The ‘neighbour’ that Christians support is not always someone known or nearby. There are many Christian charities that work to support people both in this country and around the world who need help.
Research some of these: such as
Christian Aid www.christianaid.org.uk
CAFOD www.cafod.org.uk
the St Vincent de Paul Society www.svp.org.uk .
Christians can show their love of others by raising money and donating it to one of these charities.
Task: Create a poster for one of the charities explaining how it shows agape in its work.
