After reflecting on your Works of Mercy service hours, write a 300-500 word essay about your experience.  

These questions should help guide your essay:

What was the activity?  Who did it help?  What was involved?
Why did you choose this project?  Which Work of Mercy does it connect to?
What did you enjoy most about this project?  Did anything surprise you?
Would you participate in this project again?  Why or why not?
What did you find the most challenging?  Was it fulfilling in any way?  How so?
Did it push you out of your comfort zone?
Did you find Jesus in this activity?  How and where?
How does this connect to your life as a Christian?  Why do you think this was part of your Confirmation program?
