1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
One day, as Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two fishermen, Peter
and his brother Andrew. They were fishing and Jesus called to them, “Follow me. From
now on you will be gathering people instead of fish.” Straightaway they left their nets
and followed Jesus. Then Jesus saw two other brothers, James and John, who were
also fishermen. When Jesus called them to follow him, they were in a boat with their
Sunday Gospel Gallery
father, Zebedee. But they too followed Jesus at once.
What did Jesus say the fishermen would be gathering from now on?

2 SHARE & CARE! Growing in Goodness & Love : This Wednesday’s Word...
“Community is the place where love is proven,
COMMUNITY
where we learn to forgive, to begin again,
and to serve one another.”
Each of you name at least one thing that other family members are
good at, which could help strengthen the family community. Without
our own unique contribution to our community, something valuable
will be missing. How can we also use our gifts for the good of the
different communities we belong to? Perhaps we can: join a school
team; welcome new people into our community; volunteer to use
a gift or skill to help out with a project; join with others to organise a
family fun night at school; support a fundraising event.
St. Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa)
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus starts to form a community. Ask your
child what the word ‘community’ means to them. Which communities
do they belong to (e.g. family, cubs, brownies, football, etc.)?
Another word we could use for our school is ‘community’. What does
your child enjoy most about their school community? Can they remember
who made them feel really welcome when they started school?

Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for our school and parish communities

Peter and _ _ _ brother Andrew _ _ _ _ fishing
and Jesus _ _ _ _ _ _ to them, “_ _ _ _ _ _ me”.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, we hear Jesus calling the fishermen
to follow him. Today, Jesus calls people, like you and me,
to help him – to build his community – a community built on love.
