This week we will be discussing with our Faith Formation students the scripture background for the 4thWeek in Ordinary Time. Jesus fulfills the words of the prophet Isaiah. Though Jesus is not well received in his hometown. Like Jesus, young people face rejection, especially in their neighborhoods and classrooms. Our Gospel Weeklies program explores the experiences of being rejected and rejecting others. Very often our own prejudgments of others cause us to eject them easily; we exclude and dismiss others whom we generalize about or assume we know. Confronting their own prejudices helps children discover more about themselves. On their own level all the children will answer the question “For what and for whom will I stand up?”. This can be the start of a very nice and important family discussion.
