Monday 31^st August

Lord, we pray for all pupils returning to school today.

 We hope they will each have a good time at school.  Amen.

 As a follower of Jesus, I am always connected to something bigger and richer than just myself;

the Church – the Body of Christ.

Remember your feeling of gratitude for the children of your family.
Lord, I believe.
Strengthen my faith. 

As he sinks, he has the courage, wisdom and humility to shout out to Jesus, ‘Lord! Save me!’  

“It is in giving that we receive”.

The Kingdom of God is about how we live our lives with each other as followers and disciples of Jesus.  The challenge and responsibility is for us to be people of light where there is darkness, to be people of hope where there is despair and to be people of good news where there is fake news.

We are consoled by the message that God can work wonders and produce abundance from even the smallest beginnings of the Kingdom of Heaven. 

“Each of us must play our part in caring for each other. Each person attending Mass needs to be conscious of their personal responsibility, not only for their own health and safety but also the health and safety of their fellow Mass goers.  We are all individually and mutually accountable.”
