Tuesday

LC: To understand the significant message in the parables Jesus told.
The good Samaritan.
Parables are a fundamental part of Christian teaching. Jesus often used them to convey profound spiritual truths in a relatable and memorable way.
A parable is a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus in the Gospels. Parables typically use everyday situations and characters, making them accessible to a wide audience.
The parable of the good Samaritan.

Making choices
To think about the choices we have to make every day and how we make them.
Who finds it difficult to make decisions sometimes?
I had a difficult decision to make this morning – you looked in the cupboard and couldn’t decide whether to have Rice Crispies or Cornflakes, and in the end I had a mix of both! Have you ever had to do something like this before?
We all make lots of choices every day – some are big choices and lots are small ones.
How can difficult decisions can be made easier?
i.e. with someone to help.
If a difficult decision has to be made, it’s good to talk to people who know you to get their help.
And if we’ve made choices in the past that are not for the best, we can always start again and make new choices.
Remember that our choices and how we choose to behave affects other people too, as we are all part of a bigger network of people – friends, school, family, community.
Reflection:
Look at your hand.
Your hand is a good reminder of the fact that we all have a lot of power and have choices to make.
Your hand can be used for good things, like as a sign of friendship, to shake hands, pat someone on the back or to wave hello.
But it can also be used to hurt people.
We all have a lot of choices to make every day – some small, some bigger.
How will you make your choices today and who will you talk to when you have big decisions to make?
Prayer:
Dear God,
Thank you that you love us and let us make our own choices.
Help us to remember that our choices have consequences.
Please help us when we have difficult choices to make,
decisions that are helpful to us and to others.
Amen/Ameen.
