Lesson Overview

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

In this week’s Gospel passage, Jesus begins His Galilean ministry by calling the first Apostles. These men leave their old lives behind and immediately follow Christ. In this lesson, students will consider the sacrifices required to be a follower of Christ and how they can respond to Jesus’ call in their own lives.

Lesson Materials

Directions

  1. Read the Gospel passage aloud to your students as they follow along. Then discuss the focus and reflection questions with them as a class.
  2. Show your students part of the video “Fishers of Men” produced by the USCCB Secretariat for Vocations and Priestly Formation (from 6:46 to the end of the video). The video can be found at the following link: sophiaonline.org/FishersofMen.
  3. Then, have students work individually to complete the The Call of a Disciple activity. When complete, ask for student volunteers to share and discuss their responses.
