Mary of Nazareth (Formed.org)

This movie is geared for teens to adults. Families can use the following clip for lessons on Baptism and evangelization.

Families:
Start the movie at 51 minutes. Watch the scene (ends at 55 minutes) as the shepherds visit the baby, Jesus in the stable (ends at 55 minutes). Mary gives Jesus to the shepherds and they pass Him around the room. What do you see? Is Joseph nervous? Is he protecting Jesus and Mary? Do you see the joy of the shepherds and their families? You became a part of Jesus family at your Baptism in a special way. How does that change your life?

This is Mary's job! She was chosen to carry Jesus to us. Mary and Joseph loved and taught Jesus as he grew in age and wisdom. We are called by our baptism to be like Jesus and share Him with others. So we need to take care of our little faith (like a baby) so that it can grow. We are called to grow in age and wisdom, too! Give Jesus to someone today! Our faith should show in what we do and say. Let's try to learn, pray and grow!
