Religious Education with Mrs. Therese Skelly
Catholic Mission
The Lord has told us what is good.
What he requires of us is this:
to do what is just, to show mercy,
and to live humbly with our God. (Micah 6:8)
“Never think that you have nothing to offer, or that nobody needs you. Many people need you. Think about it! Each of you, think in your heart: many people need me.” (Pope Francis)
PRAYER –Join us in praying for the poor and marginalised.
DONATIONS – Please help us to raise money for those who are much less fortunate than ourselves.
WHITE ELEPHANT/LUCKY DIP–unwanted items (but in reasonable condition). Eg: toys, games, books, kitchenware, clothes/shoes, drawing/sketching materials, jewellery, purses/bags/wallets etc.)
“In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me.”
NOVEMBER is the MONTH OF THE HOLY SOULS
In the tradition of the Catholic Church, the month of November is set aside for the remembrance of All Souls. We pray for our loved ones who have preceded us in life that they may be at peace in heaven with God. During November we will continue to pray for our loved ones who have passed away. If there are people you would like us to pray for please write their names on a piece of paper or card and we will place them in the prayer space in our classrooms.
Tomorrow is Grandparents Day – our chance to celebrate and give thanks for these special and valuable people.
Grandparents see the inner beauty of the grandchild
And make the world a little softer, a little kinder, and a little warmer.
A Blessing for Grandparents
Dear God, Please bless our grandparents.
Thank you for the life they gave our parents
and for the life they give to us.
For the ways they help us and make us strong, we give thanks.
For the ways they love us no matter what, we rejoice.
For the ways they have paved the road that leads us here, we are grateful.
Let them grow in wisdom and joy in life.
Let them find peace and rest from their work.
Let them be healed of every sickness and pain.
And let them see with their own eyes
the glory of your Son, Jesus, in the love of their children and grandchildren.
Bless them always until they come to rest in you. Amen.
