| To Parents and Catechists: This experience uses prayerful drama to help children celebrate Jesus' love and care for us. Have props available for the drama. | We Pray to Jesus, Our Good Shepherd Listen to God's Word We are God's people. We are God's flock. From Psalm 100:3 A Prayerful Drama Narrator: Jesus told us the following story. Sheep: (Move as if grazing on hillside.) Hired Hand: "I don't own these sheep. I don't care what happens to them." Wolf: (Very sneakily, approach the sheep.) Sheep: (Move as if frightened, huddling near hired hand.) Hired Hand: "Oh no! Is that a wolf I see? I'm not staying here. If I worry about these sheep, I won't be able to escape." Wolf: (Move mouth as if to snatch one of the sheep.) Sheep: (Run in every direction.) Narrator: Suddenly the sheep stop and hear someone call to them. Jesus tells the sheep, "Don't worry. I will save you." Listen to God's Word Jesus says, "I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep and they know me. I am willing to die for them. They will listen to my voice, and they will become one flock with one shepherd." From John 10:14-16 My Prayer Goes On Jesus, my Good Shepherd, You guide me along right paths, as you have promised. I will not be afraid, for you are with me. You protect me with your shepherd's rod and staff.
