GSP Just for Parents
Notes for Parents:
This day is about recognizing the presence of Christ in both others and ourselves. This includes both serving Christ in those around us and also admitting our need to allow others to serve Christ in ourselves. The climax of the talk is when we realize that we are not only the Good Samaritan, but also the victim in that story. And admitting our woundedness can be difficult, but is necessary in order for Christ to genuinely heal us.

After the evening programming is finished, have a heart-to-heart with your son or daughter. How was tonight's talk? What stood out to you? When he spoke about hurt and woundedness, what comes to mind? How can I help you find healthy ways to deal with that hurt? And pray with your son or daughter to close out your discussion.
