Memento Mori

A Life Night on Death and Judgment

About this Life Night

This Life Night begins with a Gather activity in which teens create their own “memento mori” artwork using dirt paint. The Proclaim reflects on our strained relationship with time, which ends in death and a particular judgment. The Break gives teens time to create a bucket list geared toward a life with Christ. The Send is a prayer for a happy death.

Goal of This Night

The goal of Memento Mori is to acknowledge the reality of death and judgment as a consequence of original sin but instill joy and hope in Jesus as our loving and merciful judge.

Catechism

Scripture

Key Concepts

• Jesus conquers the evil of death through His own death and Resurrection, giving us hope for eternal life.
• In Baptism, we die sacramentally with Jesus and are given the opportunity for new life in Him — physical death completes this process.
• Immediately after death, each person faces a particular judgment before Jesus; the result of our judgment — heaven, hell, or purgatory — is determined by faith in Him and the actions we have taken to live out our faith.
