“I am the Good Shepherd; I know my own and my own know me”. John 10:14"
In this branch, our class will focus on the life and teachings of Jesus, discovering how He showed God’s love to everyone and cared for all people, especially the poor and vulnerable. We will start by learning about the visit of the Magi (Matthew 2:1-12), who brought gifts to the newborn Jesus, recognizing Him as God's Son, the Saviour of the world. Jesus came for everyone, and His birth is celebrated at Christmas as the moment God entered the world in love. We will also learn about how Jesus welcomed children and showed compassion for all people, teaching us that we, too, are called to show love and care to others in our words and actions, just as Jesus did (Mark 10:13-16). We will reflect on the miracle of the feeding of the 5000 (John 6:1-14), where Jesus took care of the hungry, reminding us that Jesus wants us to help those in need. As we explore these stories, we will also learn about the Church’s prayer, the "Glory Be," which is prayed in response to the coming of Jesus, praising God's greatness and love for all. In our learning sessions, we will focus on the importance of helping those who are poor or hungry, remembering that everyone, no matter where they live, has the same basic needs for food, water, shelter, and care. The Church teaches us to care for those who are most in need, living out the principle of "An Option for the Poor and Vulnerable" as we work together to show love and kindness to everyone, just as Jesus did.
