In this lesson your child met Jesus as our friend and healer. Jesus
reached out to everyone He met and affirmed the goodness
in each one. That is being a healer! He healed physical
ailments but even more importantly, He healed spiritual
sicknesses with the healing touch of forgiveness. We can
experience the healing of Jesus in the sacraments of
Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Anointing of the Sick, as well as in the Christian community, in
works of charity and justice, and in prayer.
The Gift of Friendship
Talk with your child about Jesus as our best friend. Invite him or
her to sing the song about Jesus as our best friend
(page 104). Share ways your family can show friendship
and healing to others in your neighborhood and parish.
