Jesus Calls Us to Follow Him—Right Where We Are!

Beloved Parents and Religious Educators,

This week, teach our children about the moment when Jesus called His first disciples. As He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two fishermen, Simon Peter and Andrew, casting their nets. He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of people.” Right away, they left their nets and followed Him.

Let’s help our children understand that Christ is calling us all, grown-ups and kids, to follow Him with trust and joy, to share His love with others, and to be part of something greater than ourselves.

Why did Jesus choose fishermen to be His helpers? What did Jesus mean when He said, “I will make you fishers of people”? Can children follow Jesus, too, like the disciples did?

The Heart Transformed

Beloved Parents and Religious Educators,

This Sunday, the Church celebrates the Sunday of All Saints, honoring all the holy men and women who followed Christ with faith, courage, and love.

Let’s help our students recognize that the Saints show us what it means to live for Christ in everyday life, through prayer, repentance, kindness, sacrifice, and trust in God.

Let’s invite our students to reflect on how they too are called to follow Christ, take up the Cross, and grow in holiness through the grace of the Holy Spirit.

The Heart Transformed

Beloved Parents and Religious Educators,

This Sunday, the Church celebrates the Sunday of All Saints, honoring all the holy men and women whose lives were transformed by the grace of the Holy Spirit.

Let’s help our students recognize that the Saints show us what it means to follow Christ with our whole life through faith, repentance, humility, courage, and love.

Let’s invite our students to reflect on how taking up the Cross heals the heart, teaches us to place Christ first, and helps us become confessors of Christ through our words, choices, actions, and care for all humanity.

Putting Jesus First—No Matter What!

Beloved Parents and Religious Educators,

This week, teach our children about what it means to follow Jesus with their whole hearts. Jesus teaches that loving Him should come first, even before the things or people we care about most. That can be a big idea for little hearts, but it simply means this: when we choose Jesus, we are never alone. He promises to bless, guide, and give us more than we could ever lose.

Let’s help our children understand that following Jesus may not always be easy, but it is always worth it, because His love never fails.

Why does Jesus want us to tell others that we follow Him? Does Jesus want us to stop loving our families? What does Jesus promise if we give things up to follow Him?

Christ offers us unconditional love, and limitless freedom.

However, for us to fully integrate Christ's love and freedom into our lives, we need to try to embrace Him without conditions, without stipulations, without prerequisites.
