Great are the works of the Lord (Psalm 111:2) We all have special gifts to share. In The Rainbow Fish, we hear about how a special fish learned how to use his gifts for others.
As God's children - parents, grandparents, and young people - we are all special. All of us are created by God in love. As followers of Jesus, we are called to use our gifts in loving service to one another, especially those in need. On this page, you will find: (1) Life Connections; an opportunity to reflect - as adults - on how the story of the Rainbow Fish relates to your life. (2) Catholic Connections for Adult Disciples: The Rainbow Fish is a good way to remember how our tradition talks about using our gifts to benefit not just ourselves, but others. This is often referred to as Catholic Social Teaching. (3) Family Practices: Ideas for forming our children in this way of giving and serving. Reflection and Discussion Questions are provided for each area so that parents and caregivers may support one another as they grow in their own faith and form children in faith. |
