*Know at least two PARABLES:

                                                      The Prodigal Son  

          There was a father who had two sons. The younger son asked for his share of the family money. The father gave it to him and he left home.  He spent all his money foolishly with his friends. Then when the money was gone, his friends left him and he had no place to live, food, or clothes. The son returned to his father and asked his forgiveness. The father was very happy to have his son back. He forgave him and even had a celebration for him. The older son was jealous and got angry and refused to go to the celebration.  This parable teaches us that like the forgiving father, God always wants us to come back to him and will forgive us if we are truly sorry.

*Know at least two MIRACLES:
                           The Wedding of Cana                                   The Multiplication of Loaves

MAKE SURE YOU DON'T CONFUSE CORPORAL AND SIRITUAL WORKS,OR JOYFUL MYSTERIES WITH PARABLES, OR COMMANDMENTS WITH BEATITUDES.  READ  AND FOLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY!
