The picture reminds me of Jesus saying to his disciples ‘Go out into the world and help me serve the people’ . Jesus did not come to be served but to serve us. God gave his only son to die for us.
This week’s Wednesday Word is Trustworthy. In the gospel, Jesus was talking to his disciples. Jesus said if people can be trusted with the little things, they can be trusted with the big things. He explained to his disciples people should use money for good and not be slaves to money.

So this week I will pay attention to take care of all the equipment in school and at home, even if it’s mine.

things can be trusted in great” , if people are dishonest in little

the correct path if we go on the wrong one ,Jesus always loves us and he forgives us even if we do something wrong. And we should always put God first because he is everyone’s father so we should love him like he does and respect him and also pray so everyone can be blessed by the holy spirit.
I try to be trustworthy by telling the truth and not telling lies
If someone needs help, you can sometimes help them by giving them money.
This week’s Wednesday Word is SHARING. In this week’s gospel, Jesus told the Pharisees about a rich man and a poor man. The rich man wore the best clothes and consumed the best food, while the poor man called Lazarus had no food to eat. The rich man never shared.
Eventually, Lazarus died and lived in heaven with Abraham. When the rich man died, he didn’t go to heaven and begged Abraham for water because of the heat. Abraham said he lived a good life on earth and it was Lazarus’ turn to live a good life in heaven.
The moral of this week’s gospel is to share. We can give up our time to help at home, at school and church. We can also share our toys, books, and help each other with tasks.
This week’s Wednesday word is trustworthy.Jesus said to us that we cannot choose both God and money.It is like multitasking or doing more than one thing at once as it’s easier to do only one thing instead.It is the same with God, you can only either choose God or money.Jesus would want us to choose God over money as it will help us become closer and help us to grow closer to him with trust. In one of Jesus’s parables, a manager is fired by his master for lying and putting up peoples taxes.The manager then realises what he did and goes to the town people to build trust by saying to them if they owe his master 100 barrels of wheat to lower it to 80. His master realises what the manager has done and gives him his job back. It is important to build trust with friends and others as well as God so we can be able to go to heaven and so that God is happy and pleased with us as well.
This week’s Wednesday Word is trustworthy. The word trustworthy means someone you can count on because they are honest, reliable, and always try to do the right thing.
This weeks Wednesday Word is Trust worthy were Jesus sayes that if your trusted with little your trusted in Great so Jesus said if your not trusted in things that arn’t yours then how can you be trusted in your own things this Gospel reading tells us that if we arn’t trusted with are own things then how will we be trusted in other peoples stuff that don’t belonge to us.Also we have a chance to chose between “money or God”when Jesus came to earth he was rich but changed to poor for our sake and died on the cross to set us free from sin.
I want to be trustworthy by helping the poor and everyone even the ones which I don‘t know. I help them, because I just want to be trustworthy.
This week’s Wednesday Word is SHARING. God doesn’t want us to stand by ourselves. He wants us to share our money, the things we love and and our talents with the others. This is the only way to make them shine.
This weeks Wednesday word is Sharing. Jesus was telling the Pharisees about a rich man who wore the best clothes and ate the best food. There was a poor man who sat outside the rich man’s house, who had sores and wanted to eat scraps from the rich man’s house. The poor man eventually died and went to heaven, but the rich man did not. We should share with the poor and needy. We can do this by giving to our local food bank, donating toys and clothes to charity and many more things.
The lesson from this Gospel is ‘do not ignore the poor’. If the poor need help, do not ignore them please I beg you.
I would like to share my packet of crisps with a homeless person.
This weeks Wednesday Word is Sharing. Jesus told the Pharisees “There once lived a rich man who had good clothes and good food to eat, there was this poor man who sat outside the rich man’s house and had sores ate scraps from the rich man’s house. The poor man died and went to heaven , but the rich man did not, We can share by giving the poor supplies to surive and giving food to our local food bank.
This week’s word is sharing. In this weeks gospel, Jesus told the Pharisees there was a rich man who had many food and even big feasts .There was also a poor man near the gate of the rich man’s house. He was called Lazarus. He was covered in sores and when dogs passed they would lick his sores. After a few days the poor man has died and also the rich man and now they were in bosom of Abraham. When the rich man came to Abraham’s bosom , he saw Lazarus with Abraham in the distance and shouted, ” Father Abraham, have pity on me and tell him to dip his finger on water and cool my tongue for I am in this heat. ”. ” Abraham said, “in your life you were rich and had every food while Lazarus was poor and had bad injuries and also was starving to death . So you had a good life it’s now his turn to be comfortable”. Now the rich man is not in heaven and is in the opposite side of heaven. So this gospel tells that you need to share things with the poor and give it to the charity so it can go to other parts of world to go to other poor people.
This weeks Wednesday word is sharing.In the gospel there was a rich man and a poor man.Whilst the rich man enjoyed feasts and wore expensive clothes,outside the poor man survived on scraps of the rich man’s food so weak he let dogs come to lick his wounds. When the poor man died though, he went to heaven and lived with the angels for everlasting but when the rich man died, he went to hell.This gospel tells us that you shouldn’t keep all of what you have and that to live a good and happy life, you will have to share with your fellow people.This doesn’t mean to just give to your friends and close ones, it also means to give to even the people you least like.Jesus said to love your neighbour as much as you love yourself and then you will go to heaven.Just like the patriot Saint of our school, (st Vincent de Paul)we to should share to one another for a sin free life with God.
I will share my food for the harvest and the food banks so that other people can have some. I think God would be pleased.

But Jesus said this” If you faith is the size of a mustard seed, you can do great things.

In this, Jesus means that when you have a smaller amount of something you can grow up to big things like when you are a baby you grow up into a grown up.

The Pharisee was praying to God about holy he was and fasting twice a week, but the tax collector asked God for forgiveness and was humble by not looking up to the heavens when praying.

This week’s word is HUMBLE. You shouldn’t boast when you are praying to GOD because if you do, then God won’t grant you the forgiveness you need to get closer to him.
