“We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things

with great love.” Mother Teresa

Think for a minute or two � What do you think God

wants for the world?�

�

�

God intends good things

for us! Long ago, God spoke through

the prophets and told us about the

promise of the good things would be

created in our world. This promise was

kept alive through the ages. Jesus knew

this promise. In today's Gospel, Jesus

reminds us of this promise and tells us

something new ��

He announces His mission, and the

work He will do to show forth the

Kingdom of God.�

�

Listen carefully as the Gospel is read!�

�

We hear stories every day of people in need in our country

and around the world. What are some areas of need that you

know about? Are any of the needs we see in the world today

like the needs that Jesus named?�

�

Do you know what Jesus has given to us to help us help

people in need?� We’ve been given the gi# of the Holy Spirit!

We receive the gi# of the Holy Spirit at our Bap'sm, and this

gi# is strengthened at Confirma'on. The Holy Spirit helps us

serve the Kingdom of God!�

�

Think about ways that you and your family can help people in

need, and talk with your Mom & Dad about what your family

can do to help.�
