2 Wednesday‘s Word JESUS
“What really matters in life is that we are loved by Jesus,
and that we love him in return.” St John Paul II
Why were the disciples feeling sad when they were travelling to Emmaus? After his resurrection
Jesus was seen by his closest friends and over 500 of his followers. Ask your child if they know
what the name ‘Jesus’ means (parent help: the name ‘Jesus’ in Hebrew means ‘God saves’).
Jesus came to save us from doing wrong - to show us and to teach us how to live good lives.
Does your child have a favourite story about Jesus? What does your child like about Jesus?
It may help your child if you tell them something that you know and like about Jesus.
“We must not fail to help our neighbours,
because in them we serve Jesus.” St Rose of Lima
Our lives are enriched when we know Jesus. He is with us at all times and in all places.
We can encounter him in prayer and in one another. The more we know about Jesus through
reading the gospels, the easier it is for us to recognise him. Knowing and following Jesus
helps happiness and love to grow in our families. Each of you choose something to do for
each other at home or at school to be more like Jesus. Perhaps we can: decide to pray
each day; read the gospels together; remember to regularly ask ourselves, “What would
Jesus do?” and then try to do the same ourselves.

Dear Lord Jesus, we thank you for always being there for us. Help
us to recognise you as we journey through life together. Amen.

Jesus took the _ _ _ _ _ , blessed, _ _ _ _ _ and
_ _ _ _ it to them and their _ _ _ _ were opened.
On the road to Emmaus, Jesus first helped
his disciples understand the scriptures
before breaking and sharing the bread with
them – which is what happens at Mass each
time we receive Jesus in Holy Communion.
