1 Gospel Meditation Jesus is resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem where he would suffer, die and rise. The image given today is a straight line. Our eyes are to be fixed on the Lord proclaiming the Kingdom of God by dying to ourselves to bring new life to others. What distractions do you find in your daily life that keep you from being focused on Jesus? What prevents you from resolutely following Jesus? Jesús está absolutamente resuelto a viajar a Jerusalén en donde sufrirá, morirá y resucitará. La imagen dada hoy es una línea recta. Nuestros ojos están fijos en el Señor proclamando el Reino de Dios al morir a nosotros mismos y al dar nueva vida a otros Qué distracciones encuentra usted en su vida diaria que le impiden mantenerse enfocado en Jesús? Qué le impide seguir a Jesús de manera decidida?

5 Tour The Atrium Learn about Catechesis of the Good Shepherd For children ages 3-6 years old June 25 and 26 after all Masses Christus Center Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Montessori-based Catholic faith formation program where children can grow in their relationship with God through a deep engagement in Scripture and Liturgy. Meeting Times Sundays 9:15 a.m. 10:15 a.m. Wednesdays 4:30 p.m. God & the Child CGS is based on the belief that God and the child are already in relationship. Our work as adults is to provide a place for the child and God to come together and grow. The Atrium In CGS the children encounter God in a specially prepared place called an Atrium where the children can come to know Jesus, the Good Shepherd. It is a hands-on way of meditating upon the essentials of our faith found in Scripture and Liturgy. Come and see small clay figures of Jesus and his disciples used to meditate on the Last Supper; detailed interactive maps of the land of Israel and the city of Jerusalem, a small replica of our Mass vessels and a Paschal candle used to explore the significance of Baptism. Formation Leaders Formation leaders are trained catechists to lead the children through an encounter with Jesus. Formation leaders are trained in Levels I, II through the national CGS program.
