Greetings and Opening Prayer
First: tell a story/fact to the children, based on the following:
Report that a friend was in an Internet café reading his emails when he received a beautiful message with various images of the universe, stressing about the beauty of images, the different sizes of the worlds, the immensity of the universe. At this point the spiritist teacher should show them a presentation, photos or drawings of the universe.
When this friend finished looking at the e-mail, a girl who standing beside him and that had looked at the email with him, asked:
- How beautiful is the Universe! I wonder who created all this?
Second: give them a few minutes so the children think/comment on what answer they would give to that girl. Remember that the answer should have a justification.
Third: complement the answers, if necessary. Remember that God constructed the Universe using the general elements matter and spirit. God always created, continues to create and will keep creating. The Universe encompasses the infinity of worlds that we see and can’t see, all animate and inanimate beings, all stars that move in space, as well as the fluids that fill them.
Fourth: split the children into groups and distribute questions from The Spirits’ Book so they can read and explain them to the large group.
