1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus had been teaching his disciples about God the Father, and then
started to teach and preach to the people in the towns of Galilee. He
said, “Come to me, all you who work hard and are troubled or tired
and I will give you rest. Learn from me, for I am gentle and humble

““Do you want your companions to respect you?
COMPANION
Always think well of everyone, and be ready to help
others. Do this and you will be happy.” St John Bosco
Good companions always want the best for us. Ask your child what
the word ‘companion’ means to them. Parents, carers, children
and friends can be good companions for each other. As a family, talk
about people who are good and helpful companions to you. Can you
remember the last time that you were a good companion and helped
or comforted someone? What did you do?

Dear Lord Jesus, you are kind and full of compassion. Thank you for offering to
be our companion and sharing our concerns as we journey through life. Amen.

As a family, talk about the qualities that make a good companion (e.g. trust,
kindness, honesty, loyalty, etc.). Then each say one thing that you can do
to be a better companion to someone at home, at work or at school.
Perhaps it is by: always trying to treat your friends as you would wish to
be treated; saying kind and encouraging words to your friends; supporting
and giving, rather than taking; being reliable, faithful and loyal.

Jesus never wants us to feel troubled, he wants to be our
companion – to help us live peacefully in his way. We are
doing this whenever we are loving and caring, trying our best to
be gentle and kind – bringing calm and comfort to others.
