An Edge Night on the Seventh Commandment

About this Edge Night

The Edge Night begins with a Gather game where the youth compete for various items. The Proclaim teaches the youth about the seventh commandment, specifically how it calls them to have a proper attitude toward and use of material goods. During the Break, the youth discuss what is of greatest value to them and how they can share it with others. The Send gives the youth an opportunity to reflect with Scripture and consider how God is speaking to them through His Word.

Goal of This Night

The goal of this Edge Night is for the youth to understand the seventh commandment, particularly the way it shows us how to properly acquire material goods and how to use them for our own good and the good of others.

Key Concepts

  • Everyone has the right to own personal property, but the seventh commandment warns us to use what we have for good and not to steal other people’s belongings.
  • We are called to use what we own, first and foremost, for the good of human beings, most especially the poor, and for the betterment of society.
  • Learning how to be generous and respect the property of others will help us grow in virtue and serve our neighbor as Christ asks us to.
