Opening Prayer
God, we gather in your presence.  We have learned your commandments, which you gave the people of Israel.  If we keep your commandments, we, too, will be your own people, and you will be our God.  Give us the strength and courage we need to be faithful to you.  Amen.
INTRODUCTION: Wow! Great job on Lesson 2!! Can you believe that we are already on our 3rd Lesson? Which means that when this lesson is done, we are halfway through our Reconciliation Sacrament prep program. So far, we have been preparing for your first celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation by exploring how the commandments and Jesus' teachings ask us to grow as a person. We have talked about loving and unloving actions and thought of loving ways to solve problems. We have also begun exploring one by one the Ten Commandments which are God's rules, or loving guidelines, for living a safe and happy life. By following the Commandments, we grow closer to God and to one another. We have also started to break down exactly what Reconciliation is and understanding that the Sacrament of Reconciliation gives us forgiveness of our sins and fills our souls with God's graces. Through Reconciliation we also share God's great love for us by forgiving others as Jesus has forgiven you! Now, we are ready to learn even more! So, let's get started.
TOGETHER IN JESUS: FIRST RECONCILIATION:  First, let's begin by locating your "Together in Jesus: First Reconciliation" Lesson 3 booklet. Also, be sure to have nearby the sticker sheet that came with your booklets. Once you have both of these, you are ready to go! Today's lesson is "We Can Act Like Jesus." If you recall, in our 1st Lesson, we read about Nick coming to visit his cousin Damian and the problems that posed for Damian and Matt as they already had plans to go to camp when Nick was coming. We read about some of their unloving actions and how they learned to solve their problems in a loving way. In this lesson, you are going to pretend that you are a child, living in Palestine in the time of Jesus. These children are having some trouble deciding how to act when things go wrong. So turn to Page 1 in Lesson 3 and read over the problem situations and then choose the answer you would pick if you were in that situation. You can enter your responses below.

Great job! Now that you have listened to the problems that children in Jesus' time were having, take a moment to stop and think about when you may have had problems like these. How did you respond? Did you do the right thing? Take some time to talk with your Mom or Dad about a time when you faced  a problem like these children and see if your response was a good one or perhaps there might have been a better solution you could have taken. In our next lesson we will see if Jesus has any advice for these children and for you!!
Super great job!  I want you to remember that "Reconciliation is a Celebration." It is a celebration of God's power to make all things new for us!! We will continue to learn more about this celebration as we continue our lessons!
