1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus said to his disciples, “Do not be afraid. What is now hidden will be made known. What you
have heard said in whispers, I want you to tell out loud to everyone. And do not be afraid of
people; they cannot harm your soul. Think more about God who has power over both body and
soul. Aren’t two sparrows cheap to buy – sold only for a penny? Yet not one sparrow falls to
the ground without your Father knowing about it. So do not be afraid. You are worth much more
than lots of sparrows. If anyone speaks up for me in front of other people, then I will speak up
for that person in front of my Father in heaven.”
Why did the disciples need courage?

“In joining yourself to God’s will, you take on new
COURAGE
life and gather great courage.”
St Paul of the Cross
Ask your child what the word ‘courage’ means to them. When was
the last time they needed courage? Have they ever needed the
courage to: go somewhere new or try something new; tell the truth;
admit a mistake; stand up for someone; speak up for something that
was right; resist peer pressure or go against the crowd and say that
something was wrong? Is there anything they are afraid of right now?
Who do they know who has shown or shows ‘courage’?

Dear Lord Jesus, please give us the courage always to do and say what is right
and help us to remember that we can always put our faith in you. Amen.

The word ‘courage’ comes from the Latin word for ‘heart’ and it
basically means that you are brave. Courage is a gift of the Holy Spirit
– it makes us strong. Putting our faith in Jesus and his teachings gives us
the courage to do the right thing. How can we have more courage?
Perhaps we can: develop our friendship with God through prayer; ask
God for more courage; put our faith in Jesus and his teachings; support
and encourage each other always to do what we know to be right –
even if we are afraid.
