bunch of sticks. The sons went out and returned with a bunch of wooden sticks. The father
wanted his sons to take a stick from the bunch and break it. They broke the sticks easily one by
one. Then he wanted his sons to take three stick from the bunch and break them too. Then they
tried to break the sticks, but they couldn’t. They tried harder, but they couldn’t break it. Then he
told his sons, “No one can hurt you if you stick to each other like these sticks. But if you are
divided like one stick, you can be broken easily.”

Oneness is important because it promotes unity, harmony, and understanding among people. It
means recognizing that we are all connected and part of a larger whole, and that our actions can
impact others. When we embrace oneness, we're more likely to treat others with kindness,
empathy, and respect, leading to a more peaceful and cooperative world. It's like the idea that
we're all in the same boat, so working together and caring for each other benefits everyone.

Phase III: Christian Message

Word of God
Luke 10:29-37 “The Good Samaritan”

One day a man was walking along the road and was suddenly robbed, beaten and left hurting.
One man passed by and ignored him, and then another. Later, a Samaritan man came upon him
and stopped to help. The Bible says the Samaritan man had compassion on him.

After telling this story, Jesus asked, “Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor
to the man who fell among the robbers?”

The answer, of course, is the Good Samaritan. Jesus told this story as an example of what it
means to be kind to others, even those we don’t know who need our help. The Samaritan had
compassion for the hurting man and maybe it was because he recognized it could have been him
who had been robbed. Perhaps he was so thankful to be safe he just had to help. Whatever his
motivation, the Samaritan man chose God’s way of kindness along the road that day.

When we recognize our blessings and our power to help others, we can reach out in kindness to
be a good neighbor.

*According to the parable we read, who helped the man who was beaten?(ayon sa ating
binasang parabula sino ang tumulong sa taong binugbog?)

*Is it right for the priest and a man to overlook and ignore the person who was beaten?(tama ba

-no(hindi po)

-wrong(mali po)

*What was the behavior of the good Samaritan to the man who was beaten?(ano ang pinakitang

-helping the neighbors (pag tulong po sa kapwa)

-showing kindness (pagpapakita po ng kabaitan)

Church Teachings

Doctrine:
This parable is frequently cited to emphasize the Christian doctrine of loving one's neighbor and
demonstrating kindness and compassion to others.and This parable illustrates the importance of
showing kindness and compassion to those in need, regardless of their background, and it
encourages us to embrace the values of empathy, care, and love for our fellow human beings.

Moral:
The moral of this parable is to practice love, kindness, and compassion towards all people,
especially when they are in need and to emphasize the importance of showing compassion and
kindness to others, regardless of their background or differences. It teaches that each one should
love their neighbor to achieve oneness in the community as themselves and be willing to help
those in need, just as the Good Samaritan did for the injured man on the road.

Worship:
In this story, Jesus teaches about loving your neighbor and caring for others. Worshiping around
this passage would typically involve discussing the importance of compassion, kindness, and
helping those in need, as well as reflecting on how to apply these principles in your own life. It's
a powerful message of love and service to others, which can be a central theme in a worship
service or personal reflection.

Witnessing to Faith and Life:

St. Veronica: Saint of Kindness

During Christ’s Passion, Jesus was beaten, whipped, and spit upon – not to mention the countless
other cruel treatments

He endured. He had blood, sweat, and mud smeared across His face. The crowd mocked and
jeered Him as He made His way to Golgotha, carrying His cross.

There was one person, however, who was filled with compassion and had the courage enough to
step forward and show Him a small act of kindness. Her name was St. Veronica.
There is no mention of St.Veronica in the Bible, and no one knows her backstory or what
happened to her after the Crucifixion. We know it has been passed down through Catholic
tradition and commemorated in the Sixth Station of the Cross.

While Jesus was carrying His cross through Jerusalem, Veronica came forward and offered to
wipe His face. Her kindness imprinted His image on her veil. This veil has become known as the
Veil of Veronica and is considered one of the Church’s most treasured relics.

Phase IV: Faith Response

Belief: What does Jesus want us to achieve?

-mabuting pakikitungo po sa kapwa

-pagiging matulungin po.

-pag papakita po ng mabuting loob.

Response: How can you live in kindness?

-pagiging mabuti po sa kapwa.

-pag papakita po ng kabutihan.

-pag sunod po sa kabaitan ni Hesus.

Faith: There will be silence. Children will be encouraged to pray with this prayer.

Dear Jesus, We pray on this day that we can follow in Your footsteps and be loving and kind to
our peers. Give us the strength and wisdom to think about Your life and your actions. What
Would Jesus Do? Help us to show others, the love and kindness that You share with us each and
every day. Amen.
