The Better Part

My name is Paula Rush. I am a catechist and formation leader with the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, an approach to faith formation for children (and adults, too, truth be told!) For four years, I have published weekly Gospel reflections for children for each of three age groups (thebetterpart.net). Switching gears now, I am making these reflections available as a podcast.

Each week, select the reflection suitable for the developmental age of your child. We listen first to the Gospel reading for the coming Sunday, (or a portion of it if it is quite long). Then we take our time with the Word, moving through it slowly, wondering what it might mean.

Music in the background of the Word of God is called \"Story of the Wind\" by Whitesand: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBzSiR4iXlM
