To Parents and Catechists: The stories from the Bible teach us how to live. Use these stories to help youngsters to talk about how to live as followers of Jesus.

Living as Our Best Selves

Jesus taught us to take care of the needs of others. He said that he would come again at the end of the world to judge everyone. Those who help others and do God's will shall receive eternal life with God in heaven. The story is found in the Bible in Matthew 25:31-45. We care for others when we practice the Works of Mercy.

Stories to Remember
Here are some more stories from Scripture. Talk about what they mean to your own family.

Once, when Jesus was teaching, some people brought a woman to Jesus. She had done something wrong. Jesus said to her: "I forgive you. Do not sin anymore." (from John 8:11)

On the cross, when Jesus was dying, he said: "Father, forgive them. They do not know what they are doing." (from Luke 22:34)

A long time before Jesus lived, Micah, a great prophet of Israel, preached about peace and justice. This is what Micah said: "This is all that God asks of you: that you live justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with your God." (from Micah 6:8)
