CHILDREN COLUMN
INTRODUCTION: Most times when we fall sick, we busy ourselves with getting the best Doctors to heal us. In today’s gospel, we hear how a woman’s faith in Christ’s ability to help her sick daughter makes her determined to keep on asking for Jesus’ help.
PRAYER: O Lord my rock & healer, I call upon you; protect me and guide me this week and always. Hear my cry for help that I may sing your praises forever.
WHAT TO DO (ACTION): Be persistent in prayer. Have faith in God and never doubt Him.
QUESTIONS:
- Who was asking for Jesus’ help?
- What help did she require from Jesus?
- When Jesus refused to help the woman, what did she do?
- Why did Jesus eventually answer her?
