JESUS LIFE AND MESSAGE OF LOVE

Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created, and You shall renew the face of the earth. O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit, we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolations, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Jesus’s Life

Jesus was born to his mother Mary in a stable in Bethlehem. He grew up in a small

town called Nazareth. His childhood was probably very similar to other children

of his time. He learned, He helped Joseph in the carpenter shop, and He obeyed

His parents.

Then, when Jesus was about 30, it was time for His mission to begin. Jesus began

traveling around Israel teaching people about God. He taught people right from

wrong, and told stories called parables to help them understand.

Jesus also did many miracles. He healed people who were blind, or deaf, or

paralyzed. He even raised people from the dead. Many people followed Jesus and

tried to learn from His teachings. These people were called disciples. Jesus chose

twelve of His disciples to be leaders. These were the Apostles, and they became

the first bishops of the Catholic Church. Peter was the head of the Apostles. He

was the first pope.

Since Jesus is God, He showed people what God is really like, and how much God

loves us. Since Jesus is human, He taught us the best way to live our lives. Jesus

also founded the Catholic Church so that His mission could continue after He

returned to Heaven.
