We celebrated St. Matthew's Feast Day today by discussing tax collectors during Jesus' time.
Read & discussed:
The Call of Matthew ~~ Matthew 9:9-13
Copywork:
Jesus said to him, 'Follow me.' ~~ Matthew 9:9
"Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do." ~~ Matthew 9:12
I was unable to find chocolate gold coins to put in the felt change bags we made. However, I just substituted the real thing....a handful of change. 8-)
We ended with a readings and a prayer from a Feast Day book:
"Jesus, thank you for calling me to leave behind my selfish ways and follow you. Give me the grace to respond to you today without hesitation. Change me as much as you changed Matthew!"
