FAMILY FAITH SHARING
Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Isaiah 9:2-4; Psalm 27:1, 4abc;
I Corinthians 1:10-13, 17; Matthew 4:17-23
Jesus Calls the First Apostles
Jesus wanted to tell all people about God. One day, as he was walking by the sea, he saw two brothers fishing, Simon and Andrew. “Come with me,” he said, “I will teach you to find people instead of fish.” They stopped fishing and went with Jesus. Jesus saw two more brothers, James and John, fixing their nets. He invited them to come along, and they did. These four men, the first apostles, helped Jesus tell people about God.
It is important to follow a leader or join a group who is on the right path. Parents are responsible for helping children decide which people they follow or which group they join. Parents must provide the leadership in the home, and their commitment to following Jesus should be obvious to their children. If children see parents making decisions based on Gospel values, it will become the model that they use as well.
