READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
After working all night the fishermen had caught nothing. So Jesus said to Peter
and his friends, “Sail out into deep water and let down your nets.” They did as
Jesus said and caught so many fish that their nets began to burst. Peter and his
friends were amazed by the catch. Then Jesus said, “From now on you will be
fishers of people.” So Peter and the fishermen left everything and followed him. Sunday Gospel Gallery

SHARE & CARE! Growing in Goodness & Love : This Wednesday’s Word...
Through the miraculous catch, Peter saw Jesus in a new
light. Peter’s humility made him fit to be a follower of
Jesus and he went on to discover his true purpose in life.
The Church has always understood this Sunday’s Gospel to be a sign
of our own need to follow Jesus. We can follow Jesus even in the
simple things we do in our lives every day, and make life better for
everyone around us
us. In this coming week, how can we follow Jesus,
even in little ways? Perhaps we can: be a good listener if someone
is sad and wants to share their problems with you; find regular
time to pray for others; be kind and include others in our games.
Ask your child if they know what ‘to follow
someone’ means. Who impresses them? Who sets
them a good example which they would like to
follow? How has that person made things better
for them, for someone else or for a community? It
may help your child if you can talk about a person
whose example you follow, or have followed.

_ _ _ on you will be _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of people.”
There may be times when we have to stop doing certain things
to follow Jesus (rather than ‘following the crowd’). Let’s try to
follow Jesus this week by leaving behind anything which we
know is not right and then try to do all the good we can.
