1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus told a parable to his disciples to help them understand that he was the Good
Shepherd who they should follow, but they did not understand. So Jesus said, “I
am the gate of the sheepfold. Anyone who enters through me will be safe: they
will go freely in and out and be sure of finding pasture. Whoever tries to climb into
the sheepfold some other way is a thief and a robber who wants to steal and kill.

2 SHARE & CARE! Growing in Goodness & Love : This Wednesday’s Word...
“To follow Jesus means to share his merciful love for
FOLLOW
every human being.” Pope Francis (Pope from 2013-2025)
Ask your child if they know what ‘to follow someone’ means. Who
impresses them? Who sets them a good example which they would
like to follow? How has that person made life better for your child,
for someone else or for the community? It may help your child if
you can talk about a person whose example you follow, or have
followed.

We can follow Jesus in the simple things we do in our lives every day,
and make life better for all the family and everyone around us. How can we
follow Jesus the Good Shepherd this week? Perhaps we can: be kind and
contact a friend to see how they are doing at this time; go out of our way
to help out at home; show others how to do the right thing and avoid
what is wrong; listen carefully to wise and good people; show our
gratitude to all those who teach and lead us through life.
Dear Lord Jesus, you are the Good Shepherd who knows us by name and guides
us through life. Please help us to hear your voice and follow you always. Amen.

There may be times when we have to stop doing certain things to
follow Jesus – rather than ‘following the crowd’ – if it feels wrong.
Let’s try to follow Jesus this week by leaving behind anything which
we know is not right and then try to do all the good we can.
