Celebration of the Word- Friday 19th September
Year 3 joined Year 4 for Celebration of the Word in the hall. We listened to the word of God from St. Luke's Gospel 16:10-13. Jesus is teaching his disciples about being trustworthy. He is teaching us that being faithful in the little things matters. The children were given a bead to hold and told, "This pebble is small, but it matters. What small, good thing can I do this week that matters to God?"
Celebration of the Word- Friday 26th September
The focus was 'God's love is more important than possessions'. We gathered and listened to the Gospel of Luke 9:1-6. We talked about sharing love and that is more important than any possessions.
Celebration of the Word Friday 3rd October- St Therese of Lisiuex
St Therese's feast day is October 1st, and she is known as 'The Little Flower'. St Therese had great confidence and trust in God, His love and His mercy. She knew she could not do great things in life, but she could do little things with great love. She said, " I shall spend my heaven in doing good upon earth."
Reading: John 15:12
“This is my commandment: Love one another as I have loved you.”
Jesus asks us to love each other. St Thérèse listened to these words and showed love in small ways every day.
We thought about what small acts of love that we could do to follow St Therese's example and share God's love.
Celebration of the Word- Friday 10th October St Francis of Assisi
St Francis' Feast Day is October 4th
St Francis of Assisi loved God deeply and showed that love by caring for every part of creation — people, animals, and the earth itself.
We took a moment of quiet to thank God for our beautiful world and then we sang: All Things Bright and Beautiful
We listened to the Gospel Reading – Matthew 6:25-26
Then we prayed:
Thank you for the wonderful world You have made.
Help us to care for people, animals, and nature as St Francis did.
Amen.
St Francis loved and trusted God completely and saw every creature as part of one big family — brothers and sisters under God.
We can follow his example by showing respect and love for all creation.
