The Catechist On Going to Heaven

The Catechist asked her class of seven-year-olds, "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!" answered all the children.

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

Again, they answered "NO!"

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

Again, they all answered "NO!"

Preplexed, the woman continued, "Then how can I get into heaven?"

One of the boys shouted out, "YOU GOTTA TO BE DEAD!"
