A Miracle for Micah

The story of young Micah teaches children about the healing power of Jesus. Two young brothers, Micah and Joel, live in Capernaum at the time of Jesus. In a chance encounter, Micah witnesses one of Jesus’ first miracles: the healing of Peter’s mother-in-law. In awe of what he has seen, Micah returns to see what Jesus will do next and is present for yet another miraculous healing. However, after letting his growling stomach get the better of him and stealing fish that wasn’t his, he finds himself in need of healing of his own–forgiveness. With this story, children will discover our constant need for Christ’s forgiveness, the healing power of Jesus’ divine mercy, and the importance of setting a good example. Through the story of Micah and the forgiveness that he receives from Jesus, parents and educators can show children what happens in the sacrament of Reconciliation and why forgiveness is so important. A Miracle for Micah is perfect for children preparing for their First Reconciliation.
