Follow Me!Follow Me!Follow Me!Follow Me!Have you ever been very busy at

something— maybe building something with Legos, maybe writing a letter. Then, allof a sudden, your mother or father says, “It’stime for dinner!” or “We have to leave rightnow!” It’s hard to stop what we’re doing andstart something else.

But in today’s Gospel reading, we hear abouthow Christ called His first disciples. These men were very busy, working as fishermen. Then, allof a sudden, Jesus comes to them and says,“Follow me!” It would have been hard to put down what they wBut they did! The Bible says, “Immediately they left their nets a

lowed Him.”Now let’s say you are doing something you really like to do. Allmight have a good thought like, “I could read my Bible.” Or “I could prayers.” Or “I could see if my parents need help with something.” Nmight go right back to what you are doing. But you could try tples. “Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.”

God sometimes gives us these good ideas. Can you try to stop what ysometimes and follow Him?

A GREAT BIRTHDAY SAINT JOHN THE BAPTIST

When you were born, your parents probably wondered what you would be like, what you would do, what you wouldbe interested in, maybe

whether you’d be famoussomeday. They probably still

wonder these things!

When Saint John the Baptist was born, his parents, Elizabethrias, knew their son would be great. How did they know thisangel of the Lord told them so! The angel told Zacharias somfore the saint was born. “And you will have joy and gladness

will rejoice at his birth; for he will be great before the Lord,”

Saint John the Baptist was Jesus’s cousin. He came before Je

everybody to expect somebody to save them (a savior). He toget ready for the savior to come. He told them to repent—to were sorry for the wrong things they did.

Saint John is such an important saint for us that we have six namPlus, every Tuesday of every week is set aside to pray to Saint Joday, we celebrate his birthday, and we can “rejoice at his birth”!

We celebrate the birth of St. John on Tuesday, June 24th.
