History
Saint Philip the Deacon was chosen by the Apostles to be one
of the seven who helped people in the early Church. One day, he was traveling
from Jerusalem to Gaza when he met a man who was chief treasurer for the queen
of Ethiopian. The man couldn’t understand Scripture, so Philip explained all
about Jesus. The Ethopian became a Christian and asked to be baptized right
away.
Activity
Saint Philip the Deacon knew exactly what to say when
somebody asked him questions about the Christ. How did he know? One reason was
probably because Saint Philip asked questions when he was learning, too. It’s
important for all of us to ask questions when we think of them, because that’s
the fastest way to get the answers we need. Even if our moms or dads or priests
don’t know the answers right away, they know how to find them. So ask
questions!
