1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus went to Jerusalem to celebrate the Jewish Passover. Inside the Temple,
he saw people selling animals, and among them sat the money changers. So
Jesus made a whip and chased them all out of the Temple, cattle and sheep
as well. Jesus knocked over the money tables, scattering the coins and said
to the pigeon sellers, “Take all this out of here and stop turning my Father’s
house into a market.”
What did Jesus do in the Temple?

“If you are what you should be, you will set
ENTHUSIASM
the whole world ablaze!” St Catherine of Siena
Jesus was a very enthusiastic person. He was passionate for people
to worship God in a true and proper way. He saw that many had
become so interested in money that they were losing respect for
God and for God’s ways. Ask your child what the word ‘enthusiasm’
means to them. Which person or group of people do they know who
is enthusiastic and full of energy for doing the right thing? What is
your child enthusiastic about? What gives them energy to do good?

Each new day presents us with an opportunity to stop and think if there
are any unhelpful things that we need to clear out from our lives, so that
we can grow in our enthusiasm for God. To help us to do this, perhaps we
can: each night before we go to sleep, say sorry to God for anything that
we may have done wrong (examine our conscience) and ask God to forgive
us; be enthusiastic to say our family prayers together; avoid any temptation
to be greedy, but rather give cheerfully to charity.

Jesus said, “ _ _ _ _ all this out of _ _ _ _ and stop
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ my Father’s house into a _ _ _ _ _ _ .”
Sometimes the best moments come from small acts done
with great enthusiasm. Saying thank you, giving a big smile,
helping Mum or Dad — these little things can make someone’s
day better and help us to become more like Jesus.
