CHILDREN COLUMN ON ONE PAGE
INTRODUCTION:
Today’s gospel tells us the story of two (2) of the disciples of Jesus who were returning to their village, called Emmaus. They were very miserable, unhappy, and distressed because it has been 3 days since Jesus died and was buried. They were sharing their grief and disappointment when Jesus comes into their midst and started talking with them; but they did not recognize him until he shared a meal with them.
PRAYER:
Dear Lord, help me to know that you are always with me even when I don’t see you. Teach me to love my neighbours for love of you Amen.
WHAT TO DO (ACTION):
Be Charitable
QUESTIONS:
- Why do you think the 2 disciples did not know Jesus?
- What was it that finally made them recognize Jesus?
- Whenever you hear the word of God being read and explained to you, how do you feel?
- When the disciples asked Jesus to stay with them for the night and offered him a mean, what virtue were they obeying?
