The Two Golden Rules | Gospel for Kids (Matthew 22:34-40)

Welcome, Parents and Catechists!

Using a fun building block analogy, we explore what happens when we pull out the bottom supporting pieces of our tower—and how Jesus’s two golden rules hold our everyday lives together: Love God with all your heart, soul, and mind. Love your neighbour as yourself. We also connect this week’s message to Sunday Mass, looking at how the penitential rite (“Lord, have mercy”) gives us a fresh start when our blocks wobble.
