Good Shepherd Appeal 2014 Family and Poverty
Prayer Dear Lord, Let us think of others before ourselves, especially those who are less fortunate and who may need our help. Please give us the compassion and strength to reach out to those in need. Amen.
Questions??? • How would this make you feel? • Would you know where to turn to for help? • Do you think being poor is just about not having any money? • Do you think these changes would have an effect on your family relationships? If so, how?
Do you know Nugent Care helps individuals & families affected by poverty?
Reflect • Pope Francis • “The world makes us look towards ourselves, our possessions, our desires. The Gospel invites us to be open to others, to share with the poor.” • “To live charitably means not looking out for our own interests, but carrying the burdens of the weakest and poorest among us.”
Prayer Lord Jesus, Thank you for giving us the gift of family. Let us follow your example of how to love and respect our family members. Please guide and reassure us to fulfil our roles as good members of our communities. Amen.
