READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus went to his home town of Nazareth and into the synagogue, the place where
the people of Israel worship God. Most of the people were amazed at everything
Jesus said. Many had already heard about the miracles he’d performed. Then,
because they knew him, they started saying, “But isn’t he just the carpenter, the
son of Mary?” And they refused to welcome and accept Jesus. But Jesus still cured

SHARE & CARE! Growing in Goodness & Love : This Wednesday’s Word...
“God’s will is that we grow in our capacity
to welcome one another.” Pope Francis
God lives in everyone. When we are welcoming to others, we
are also welcoming to God. Ask your child what the word
‘welcome’ means to them. When did they last get a warm welcome
and how did it make them feel? Who always makes them feel
especially welcome? Tell your child about any places where you
have been made to feel very welcome and looked after. What was
it about the place, or the people there, that made it so special?

WELCOME
Jesus came to help people and tell them about God’s love for everyone,
but he did not always receive a warm welcome. As a family, talk about
how you can welcome Jesus’ call to become more like him. Perhaps we
can: be kind and loving in your simple everyday words and actions;
be peacemakers; tell others about the hope and goodness that God
can bring into their lives; be fair and generous with everyone we
meet; talk about how we can make visitors feel especially welcome.
Dear Lord Jesus, please help us to welcome all visitors to our home, to our
school and to our community, as special people who are loved by you. Amen.
