The Good Samaritan.
By our Baptism we are called to learn from and follow Jesus. The power or grace we receive in Baptism gives us the ability to follow Jesus in a new way. Jesus said "I AM the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE". In following Jesus we find truth, beauty and happiness!

- ACTION -
Jesus told the story of the good Samaritan to show us how he wanted us to live, to love and to forgive.
Have your child keep track (with your help) of what daily act of love or service they did for the next 7 days.
Either at the end of the day, or when you identify a good action, have them write down what they did that day in the square for that day on the calendar provided.
At the end of the week, see how many Acts of Love they have done. Maybe other family members would like to join in as well! :-)

Discuss:
- In what way did Jesus show his love to Zacchaeus?
- Why were the other people not happy that Jesus was going to Zacchaeus’ home?
- How do you forgive?
- In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus tells us how to forgive. Read together the Lord’s Prayer and talk about how it tells us to forgive. (Forgot the prayer? It's at the bottom of this webpage!)

- SEEDS OF FAITH -
From your Craft Kit you will need: the flower pot, soil, seeds (little bag) and a folded piece of paper with the Seeds of Faith instructions / story. Read the story and discuss together the questions while planting the seeds.
Check each day to see if your seeds grow. Don't forget to water your seeds! Think back to the Good Samaritan video and some of the activities you might do during the week. What seeds are you planting each day to that will help others grow closer to God? (The holy water is not for the seeds) :)

- DAILY EXAMEN -
An activity before bed: (and maybe a new habit?) Take time to pause and mindfully think about your day. Take a few deep breaths and imagine:
1. Imagine Jesus sitting next to you, smiling.
2. Tell Jesus about your day. Name at least one thing that made you joyful, one thing that made you feel peaceful and one thing that made you thankful.
3. Tell Jesus about one thing that made you sad or worried (if something made you sad or worried) and know Jesus wants to be with you here.
4. Is there anything in your day that you are not proud of? Do you want to say sorry to Jesus for anything? Jesus is just waiting to forgive you.
5. Think about how much God loves you. You can imagine Him giving you a big hug and blessing you. Maybe you want to use some holy water to bless yourself. Go to sleep knowing you have the love and blessing of Jesus.
