  1. Gospel 12/01/22

    Joy is a positive feeling that makes you feel better about yourself and affects your wellbeing. Joy is the feeling that motivates you to keep on going, and without it people wouldn’t be who they are ’til this day. It is very important to know that it is a very special feeling to have, and others should have a chance to experience it. Joy brings people together and reminds people that the joy of the Lord is their strength. Just like in today’s Gospel, people were disappointed and miserable since there was no more wine in the wedding. Once Jesus told them to fill the jars with water, they were suddenly amazed on how the water quickly changed into wine.

  2. Joy is a feeling of good pleasure and happiness. Joy comes from the Holy Spirit abiding in God’s presence and from hope in His word. The Holy Bible says, “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” This means that real joy comes from God and is ours forever.

  3. This week’s gospel is all about Joy. When Mary noticed that the wine had run out and said to the servants, “Do whatever Jesus tells you to do.” Also joy is very infectious, therefore we should always be filled and show joy to one another. Joy means a feeling of great pleasure and happiness, and also rejoicing. Jesus is always filled with joy so we should copy the great example that Jesus showed us to.
    Also if we are close to Jesus we will have joy in our hearts and a smile on our faces that’s what Pope Francis said.

  4. Joy is a nice feeling. Sometimes we feel happy, sometimes sad but God gives us ever lasting love.

  5. Joy is the feeling of happiness and we should all be joyful as we have been created by God, we should also feel joy as we have been created to live on this earth and spread happiness.

  6. Eugenia Y5 says:

    When we have joy in our hearts,it is a happy feeling. If we listen to what Jesus tells us and we do it,we always get rewarded by him and God. Sometimes we get tempted by the devil and we learn from it.
    I think this is what the gospel was trying to teach us.

  7. Camila Rexer Y3 says:

    Joy and happiness are wonderful feelings and Jesus wants us to be happy . We feel happy sometimes and also sad. Jesus is here to make the love never end.

  8. I think the Gospel is trying to tell us that when we have joy, it gives us happy feelings. If we listen to what Jesus tells us we are in Gods family but even if you don’t listen to Jesus we still are part of God’s family.

  9. I think the Gospel is trying to tell us that when we are joyful we have happiness and we listen to when Jesus tells us.

  10. Joy is a feeling of happiness and when you feel happy you can spread joy to help others who may be feeling down. Also joy is good because you can sometimes or always just spread Godโ€™s word to make people feel better in a fun way.

  11. The gospel tells us about being joyful and happy in a good way and when you need Jesus’ help you should not be afraid to ask him. At the wedding ceremony Jesus did a miracle that helped people to believe in him and worship him by going to church.

  12. Maybe we should help each other and be kind to them because Jesus been kind to his friends.

  13. In this gospel Jesus turns the water in to wine. This shows us that he cares for us because if there is no wine at a wedding it is considered rubbish.

  14. Maya๐Ÿ˜ฝ says:

    Joy means being happy and loving God. I feel joyful when mum gives me cuddles or when I move up the rainbow. ๐ŸŒˆ

  15. In this story Jesus did his first miracle by turning water into wine -this brought joy to the marriage. If you want joy you have to pray and be nice to people.

  16. Cรฉsar says:

    This week the Wednesday word is all about joy. There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. Then they ran out of wine and Jesus made more. He made the best wine! That made the people joyful.

    I can make people feel joyful by helping people that are hurt and play with people that are lonely.

  17. The Holy Spirit makes people free and heals people. To share the Good News I can listen to my teacher, to my mom and my nanny and dad. I can also help my friends and share my toys. Jesus brought is the Good News.

  18. Jesus reads and in the book of Isiah it said that the Holy Spirit will save the poor, give sight to the blind. After that, Jesus says that it is happening right now and we need to spread the Good News. We can do this by following Gods words. We can be nice to people to make their day.

  19. The gospel is about sharing toys ๐Ÿงธ.We are sharing because we are trying to get the familyโ€™s more closer to god and Jesus.๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸฆฑWe should also be thankful for Jesus for dying for us so he could make the world ๐ŸŒ for us โค๏ธ๐ŸŒใ€‚

  20. Gabriella y5 says:

    This week’s Wednesday word is all about the good news.
    When Jesus proclaimed very clearly that he had come to bring the good news.Jesus went to the synagogue on sabbath day and stood up to read the prophet of Isaiah. ” He had sent me to bring the good news to the poor and to the broken-hearted. Jesus said this scripture is being fulfilled today even as you listen.and pope Francis said ” Jesus was sent to bring the good news and to enter each one of us.

  21. Gospel: 19 01 22

    In Christianity, the Good News is the message of Jesus, the Christ or Messiah โ€” God’s ruler promised by the Scriptures โ€” specifically, the coming Kingdom of God, his death on the cross and resurrection to restore people’s relationship with God, the descent of the Holy Spirit on believers as the helper, the resulting promise and hope of being saved for any who believe and follow Jesus. The Christian message of Good News is described in the four gospels. It relates to the saving acts of God due to the work of Jesus on the cross and resurrection from the dead which bring reconciliation between people and God. The context of the Gospel includes the final destiny of man. This part of the context is important because the Bible explains, the standard which will be required of every person is to “Be perfect”. Because a holy, perfect and just God cannot deny his own nature by simply ignoring or excusing the sins of people who have rebelled against his holy law.

  22. The Gospel means Good News. It is God sending his important message through the Bible.

  23. I think the Gospel is trying to tell us that we should help Jesus spread the Good News to everyone and we shouldn’t be disrespecting the Good News.

  24. The good news is the word of God, which is the Gospel that we listen to in church every Sunday. Receiving the word of God is like food for our soul to enrich us with love, faith and devotion towards our Christian life. Jesus as the Father of our church leads us to be a better person and always guides us by his scriptures. We have to encourage ourselves and become a good role model to be a follower of Jesus Christ as well as striding forward for our beliefs and practices.

  25. This week’s Wednesday word is all about God’s love.How God’s love is never-ending and we don’t need to pay for God’s love to us. Also we are reminded that God’s chosen people were not chosen just to enjoy God’s love for themselves.They were called to be the starting point from which God’s love will spread to all people. But when Jesus told people about God’s love he did not always receive a warm welcome. God’s love is without limits and he loves each one of us equally and unconditionally. His love for us is unlimited and God is forever searching out to people whom he can show his love.If we are willing to turn to god to accept and experience his love the happier we become.Also God’s love is so great and deep and when we experience god’s love we are more able to share this with our neighbour.
    Jesus angered time with a story which showed that God’s love is for everyone. Gods love is free. God asks for nothing in return all God wants is for us to accept his love.

  26. ยฌ_ยฌ A M A R I S S A ยฌ_ยฌ says:

    This week’s Gospel is all about God’s love for us all.
    In the Gospel, Jesus reminds us about sharing the good news in the Gospel as he reads the prophet Isaiah that all God wants is that he wants you to love him as he has loved you.He said that the holy spirit will give sight to the blind, save the poor and heal the broken-hearted .Just remember, God’s love is not like a cake, everybody gets a piece, but then some people ends with a crumb.It isn’t like that.It isn’t like that at all.Everybody gets an equal sharing of God’s love, and all God wants in return is that you love him in return.

  27. God’s love is simply unconditional. Whatever we do, God remains loving to all of us and accepts us as his own people and his own family. God is always near us and guides us to the right path. He brings us from sorrow to joy and captivity to liberty as well as having a feeling of warmth in your heart, a feeling of being loved. We must make sure we express and treat others the way that God does by accepting apologies and turning a new leaf, having generosity, praying for others and encouraging people to spread acts of kindness to others.

  28. Sophie Yr6 says:

    Gospel 26 01 22

    God continues to show abundant love to Israel because through them, he will show his love to all the nations. This leads us to Jesus. He came to fulfill Godโ€™s relationship with Israel by being the faithful human who lives every day in the security of Godโ€™s love and succeeds in showing love back to God. Jesus is the embodiment of Godโ€™s love. Godโ€™s relentless, loyal love arrives in Jesus, and his affection for us drives him to give us the ultimate act of loyal love in his life, death, and resurrection.

    Bible example:
    While we see these acts of love throughout the Bible, the one who shows the most love is God. The Bible introduces us to a God who has a generous commitment to his human partners. Throughout the story of the Bible, humans continually show how faithless, selfish, and self-sabotaging they are, but the Bible makes clear how enduring Godโ€™s love is for us. In the story of the Bible, Godโ€™s love is focused on one family, the family of Abraham. God pours his love out on them even when they donโ€™t deserve it. He does this because he wants them to become the type of people who can take Godโ€™s love to all nations. God shows love to Abrahamโ€™s family time and again. Jacob is a great example of Godโ€™s loyalty to this family. Jacob lies and cheats and steals, yet God upholds his covenant to Jacob. And Jacob recognises how unworthy he is of that treatment.

  29. God loves everyone equally, I can tell he is in my friend’s heart when they are kind to me and helpful. Helping makes me happy because I help my family and God is in my heart๐Ÿ™

  30. In this gospel Jesus goes to synagogue and tells the people around him God does not only love them but everyone they took Jesus to a cliff and wanted to throw him but he escaped. I think the crowd was Jealous of God liking over people too

  31. The Wednesday word is God’s Love. In this Gospel, Jesus tells the people all about God and his love for us but most of the people disagree, so they decided to throw Jesus off a cliff. Jesus then escaped into the crowd and walked away. My understanding of this gospel is that God’s love is for everyone.

  32. This gospel is about Jesus and God’s love for everyone not just a particular group or person. He shows this by explaining to the people, that god, when the great famine swept over the land, did not send Elijah to any of the places with the famine.

  34. Following someone is like seeing them as your role model. For example, us Christians follow Jesus Christ because we have strong faith in Him and look up to Him for guidance. Jesus Christ has always been there beside us, and teaches us how we can spread kindness and friendship towards others through the Gospel. We can be just like him and the way He loves everyone in the world despite what they have done in the past. We should be the role model to those who need guidance, and be a trustworthy person anyone can rely on. We should be the person who everyone follows and looks up to, just how we follow and look up to Jesus Christ and God the Father.

  35. In this gospel peter is fishing and he does not catch any fish. But then Jesus tells him to fish in the river again. Peter isn’t sure but he listens to Jesus and catches a whole pack of fish. Peter fell to his knees and told Jesus ”leave me my lord as i am a sinful man”. Jesus told peter to not be afraid and from now peter will only catch people.

    In life we must be careful of who we trust as some people can be bad and some can be good. In this case Peter did the right thing trusting Jesus but no one is like Jesus no one in this world can make a miracle.
    I follow Jesus because he is the son of God and he saved us all. I also want to follow Jesus’s way through life by forgiving everyone. I will try be more generous this week.

  36. The Gospel is about following God and Jesus. Peter was fishing in the night, he was tired and didn’t get any fish. But, Jesus told him to do it once more and they got lots of fish. Then Jesus said: fish people. I can follow Jesus by taking care of my friends ๐Ÿ™‚. I think Jesus is a good example and I want to be like him.

  37. Gospel 02/02/22: To Follow
    The Gospel is all about following Jesus’ footsteps to achieve what God wants us to achieve. To follow means to learn good qualities from other people and try your best to do the same.

  38. This Wednesday Word is all about Jesus’s love for us.This Gospel was all about Jesus, who was telling the people how much God loves all of us, but the people were Livid with fury.They decided to throw Jesus off the cliff, but Jesus walked away carefully.The people thought that God loves one person much more than others, but God loves people with all his heart, and he feels that same amount of love with everyone on Earth, even people who are dead, especially, because they are in heaven with him right now.
    This makes me feel equal with people.

  39. In this weeks Gospel it calls us to make a choice in following Jesus. Trust in Jesus and you will have true happiness.

  40. Eugenia Y5 says:

    This weeks Wednesday Word is all about Jesus’s love for us. Jesus cares for us and wants the best for us. We know that if we ask Jesus’s help, he will always come to support us. In this gospel, Jesus saw that the fishermen needed help. He helped them by using a miracle. This miracle was not just a simple miracle, but a miracle of love and kindness. This gospel shows that we can always trust Jesus and that when we make efforts he will reward us.

  41. This Gospel is about follow, This gospel teaches us that we should follow Jesus and the word of God. If the world was full of darkness and we see light, We should follow it to guide us to the light. And we should remember that God and Jesus are always by our side no matter what . Peter was fishing in the night , he was tired and didn’t get any fish. But Jesus told him to do it once more and they got lots of fish . Then Jesus said fish people. I can follow this by listening to my friends and family like Peter did.

  42. God and Jesus want us to be happy all our lives. Sometimes we feel happy and sometimes we feel sad. God and Jesus will always put love in our lives.

  43. One day, Jesus said to Peter and Simon when they were fishing,โ€™ go into the deep end and cast your nets once moreโ€™.
    Peter and Simon said โ€™weโ€™ve been fishing all day and we havenโ€™t caught anythingโ€™. But Peter and Simon did what they were told. When they casted their nets they caught so much fish the nets started ripping. Always trust Jesus because he loves us and he trusts us, so you should trust him.

  44. Gabriella y5 says:

    This week’s Wednesday word is all about Peter after a night of failed fishing is finally successful and realises his true calling because he listens to and follows Jesus’ instructions. It is important to make the right choice about who or what we follow in life. Jesus invites each and every one of us to make following him our important priority.
    We follow Jesus whenever we are kind, try to make peace,and make others feel welcome. Choosing to follow him is not always easy but it really does guide and help families to keep growing in wisdom and love.โ€œTo follow Jesus means to share his love for every human being. Through the miraculous catch, Peter saw Jesus in a new light.Peterโ€™s humility made him fit to be a follower of Jesus and he went on to discover his true purpose in life. Jesus said do not be afraid; from now on you will be fishers for all people. The message is all about following.

  45. This Wednesday word is about following Christ.
    As Christianโ€™s, we also follow Christ. This is what part of our lives are committed to. In our lives we want to go on our journey to getting closer to God the father by doing the right choices. How will we do this? We follow Christ. WWJD? What would Jesus do? Is our question.

    In the story this week, Simon Peter comes back from a failed night of fishing. He had not caught one fish.
    In his way back home, he met Jesus who told him to fish again. He said that Jesus was wrong; however, he came back with two nets full of fish. One more fish, and the boat would sink. Simon Peter, thinking he was a sinful man, asked forgiveness from Jesus kneeling on the ground. Then, Jesus said that he was now going to catch people. By this, he asked Simon Peter to follow him and, immediately, he followed Jesus. I think this scripture is telling us to believe and follow in Jesus no matter what.

    Throughout this week, I will try to before I act think: is this what Jesus would do? I will try to act in the image of God which means always making the right choices, being like Jesus.

    Have a nice week,
    Stella.

  46. In this gospel, Jesus said to the crowd that people who were poor will have the kingdom of God. So even if life is sometimes difficult, we can trust God to make us happy in heaven m.
    Trusting means that you believe that God will make my life better, and everything he does is for the good of people.

  47. In this gospel Jesus is coming back from a mountain and tells his desciples beatitude and says that everyone who suffers will find joy in heaven. I think that Jesus said this because if you suffer you cannot find joy but in heaven you can’t suffer. Trust means that you can rely on someone for everything. In this gospel Jesus also says to trust in God and you will go to heaven.

    Have a nice half term from Martinโ˜บ๏ธโ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™‚

  48. This weekโ€™s Wednesday word is all about trust and how Jesus trust us so we should trust him back. Jesus said โ€œ be glad and rejoice because your reward will be great in heaven. Trusting in gods promise is not always easy but it is always rewording. No amount of worrying will increase our safety or comfort ; it is trusting in god that will find our security and hope. We can trust on god by praying or offering concerns to Gods promise if we are feeling worried. Try to do our best without being afraid or making occasional mistakes. Believe that gods will bring good that all happens in life even when things seem to go wrong.

  49. This weeks gospel is that you should trust people because if you trust in God, then you will go to heaven.

  50. Gospel: 23.02.2022

    This week’s gospel is all about action. Colossians 3:17 says,’And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. ‘ This Bible phrase means that when you do something, do it in the way that Jesus wants you to do.

    Colossians 3:23-24 says,’Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.’ This Bible phrase means that whatever you do, Jesus watches you do it and so we must always act with kindness to please our King.

    Overall, when the word ‘action’ comes up in the Scripture, think about your own actions and how they affect others around you. Be considerate of others.

  51. This weekโ€™s gospel is all about action.
    I think that this gospel means that we need to have a kind heart to be caring and loving.
    If we make our heart bad that means that we are rude and we just think about ourselves.If you have caring actions it will affect how other people feel around you. But if you change them to a negative way it will make other people sad and upset.
    You can always change your actions when you feel like you need to or not.

  52. Maya year 2 says:

    This gospel is about not judging other’s actions. You shouldn’t judge other’s actions before looking at yourself. If you are sad or mad you shake your feelings off and help others after.
    A good tree cannot grow bad fruits and a bad tree cannot grow good fruits. A good person inside will have good actions and a bad person will not have good actions.

  53. When you feel joy you feel calm.

  54. Martin๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ˜Ž says:

    23.2.22

    In this gospel Jesus was with his disciples and told them a parable. It was speaking about two friends one of the friends had a splinter in the eye and the other friend had a plank in the eye. The friend with the plank in the eye tried to get his friend splinter out of his eye but Jesus stoped them and told him to get the plank out of his eye first. I think this story was telling us to deal with our problems first like becoming a better christian and then helping others. He also said bad trees can not make good fruits. This means bad people can not make good actions.

  55. Clare ใƒพ(โ€ขฯ‰โ€ข`)o says:

    In this Gospel, Jesus reminds us to reflect on ourselves instead of pointing out the mistakes of others. Instead of criticising what others have done, try learning from your own doing and teach them too to do the right thing once you have understood yours. As Jesus said to not be a hypocrite and how your words show what is in your heart, expressing yourself with honesty makes it clear on how you really feel or done. Do not say that something is wrong with someone without checking yourself first. Try to live in goodness and be just like the good person Jesus was talking about. “A good person does good things out of the good stored up in their heart.”

  56. I think we should share all of our toys and books.

  57. This story is about Lent. Lent is a special time to prepare Easter. In the gospel Jesus went in the desert for 40 days, that’s why we have Lent because we do like him. He didn’t eat there that’s why we do Lent promises to imitate him. My Lent promise is to be nicer to everyone!

  58. Cรฉsar says:

    This weekโ€™s Gospel is about Lent.During this day we all go to church and get ashes on our forehead. The ashes are made from last weekโ€™s palms from Palm Sunday. Today is ash Wednesday the first day of Lent.

  59. Martin ( '_' ) says:

    2.3.22

    In this gospel Jesus is coming back from his baptism and goes in the desert to fast for 40 days and 40 nights and then the devil tells tempts Jesus to do things but he responds with scripture.

  60. Lent is a time to reflect on ourselves as well as the preparation for Easter. It is usually considered as a time of self-discipline and a chance to improve or learn. In this Gospel, Jesus has resisted the temptations of the Tempter. Just like in our daily lives, there will always be different things that will tempt us to do something that we desire, when in truth is the wrong choice and would lead us to the wrong path. This Gospel teaches us how to deal with this situation and connect with our minds instead of our feelings. We should always follow God’s teachings and put our trust in Him so that we won’t ever get lost in our lives or mislead.

  61. Elisa Y6 says:

    This weeks gospel is all about Lent. Lent is a time for giving, praying and giving up things that are bad habits. Today, we made Lenten promises that went up on the altar at church. Lent is a time when we remember when Jesus was fasting for 40 days and 40 nights. Jesus gave up food for lent. We don’t need to give up food however we can give up other things like sweets, electronics or teasing a sibling.

  62. Sophie Yr6 says:

    Gospel 2.3.22:

    This weekโ€™s gospel is all about Lent which is the period preceding Easter. In Lent, Catholics fast, pray and give. In my opinion, Lent is a time where Christians reflect on Jesusโ€™ time in the desert.

    In class, we wrote Lent promises to show that we would pray, fast and give just like Jesus did when he was in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights. I wrote that I would pray to God for peace and unity between Ukraine and Russia, I would give up electronics (unless I am using for homework) and that I would give my time, love and patience to those who need it.

    Sophie Yr6.

  63. Maya๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿผ says:

    In this gospel it was all about encouragement. Jesus and his friends went on a mountain to pray and Jesus began to glow and his clothes turned white. He wanted to show that he is special and the chosen one . encouragement means giving hope to people around you.

  64. This Wednesday’s Gospel was about encouragement. In context, encouragement helps us to look away from criticism and build self-confidence. But there are always times where we need encouragement in our lives. What we can do to deal with this is: boosting someone’s confidence by telling them to keep up the great work or perhaps you could offer someone support and assistance if they ever need it. In this Gospel however, Jesus encourages the disciples by showing them the inner honour that is inside of Him. So, this tells us that if we follow Jesus’ footsteps and do what he tells us to do, it will affect our lives and the way we act, say and do, filling us with words of encouragement and love.

  65. Sophie Yr6 says:

    Gospel: 9 3 22
    This week’s Gospel is all about encouragement. I think that encouragement means to someone support, confidence, or hope or to persuade them to continue something.

    Encouragement means to put heart into another. You pump blood into and for them because the heart cannot beat without the blood it pumps. So hold that picture: encourage means that you strengthen their heart and make it beat better.

    I believe that encouragement is a very important thing in out lives because, otherwise, life would soon feel pointless and we would always want to give up. Also, without encouragement, we can be overwhelmed by the very real pains of our lives. Without encouragement, we feel unloved. The Bible tells us to encourage one another, to remind each other of the truth that God loves us, that God equips us, that we are treasured, that our struggles are worth it. Encouragement gives us the will to carry on for a good reason.

    Remember, both God and Jesus want us to have the best live ever.

  66. Martinโ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜„ says:

    Encouragement means to help someone to countinue. For example if you are playing football and you are losing someone in your team might say keep going everyone and that would be encouragement.

  67. Cรฉsar says:

    Todayโ€™s Gospel is all about ENCOURAGEMENT. Encouraging someone is cheering or supporting someone. For example if I were cheering one of the teams of girls during playtime I am actually encouraging that team to enjoy playing football together.

  68. Jesus brings Peter James and John up the mountain and is transformed.He brings them there to show them heaven because he doesnt want them to despair when he is crucified which will be happening soon.He wants to show them heaven, which is were he is going.

  69. Gabriella y5 says:

    This week’s Wednesday Word is all about encouragement as we all god’s children need encouragement in our lives when we go through or experience difficult times.As this month is lent we have made our lent promises and we all need encouragement so we can keep going and not break our promises. Pope Francis said โ€œThe invitation at the Transfiguration is to listen to Jesus and to follow him, laying down our lives as a gift of love for one another.โ€ As Jesus was praying his face shone and his clothes became brilliant as lightning in this week’s gospel. Encouragement helps us continue and gives us the confidence to keep going. We all try to follow Jesus but sometimes everyone makes mistakes but we can keep on trying and show resilience. But also if, like the disciples, we too listen to Jesus, we will experience the encouragement that God offers freely to each one of us โ€“ today.

    Gospel: 09.03.2022

    This weeks gospel is all about Encouragement which means that we should encourage someone to do the right thing. Encouragement means to hep someone to continue doing something, like a sport. and I will make a promise to God that I will encourage my friends and family.

  71. Maya ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’ƒ says:

    This Gospel was about a fig tree that didn’t make fruit. A man wanted to cut the tree so he went to the gardener who said that he would take good care of it for one more year to see if it could change.
    I can change by helping my family more and being nicer.

  72. Change can be in many different ways – mentally, physically and so on. But it also takes patience, as we change slowly throughout our lifetime. Examples of this could be: maturity, growing up, learning new skills and learning new things. They all take time to flourish and prosper in us, just like in the Gospel on how the tree takes time to bear fruit and gets ready for people to pick them.

  73. Martinโšฝ says:

    Change means to adapt to something new in a bad or good way. An example of change is when you change house. You sleep somewhere new and you are somewhere new.

  74. Sophie Yr6 says:

    Gospel: 16 03 22

    This week’s gospel is all about Change. The Bible says in Malachi 3:6, “I, the Lord, never change,” declares God. To change means to move in another direction. For God to change would mean that He either becomes better or worse, and God is ultimate perfection. God never changes, and nothing about Him changes: His character traits such as love, mercy, kindness, justice, and wisdom always exist in perfection. The methods He uses to deal with human beings have changed through the centuries, but the values and purposes behind those methods did not.

    I think that change means to have a different opportunity for something, whether that be a good one or a bad one. This Biblical example shows that, everything can change in different ways, such as your personality or hobbies, and some things just never change, like God. I think that it is important that everyone has at least one change in their lives so that they may experience the same world with a different view.

  75. Gabriella y5 says:

    This week’s Wednesday word is all about change. Change means when you change something different. As this month is lent we all changed our bad habits and things that we need to give up on. Sometimes if we know we have done something bad we know that it’s wrong we can change that and we control whether we want to change something in our lives or keep it the same. As an example in this week’s Wednesday word a man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard and he came looking for fruit but found none. Jesus told him how he needed to change his tree and start again and he will find fruit on it. Also each day is an opportunity to change and Lent is time to change. The gardener replied to Jesus ” sir let’s leave it for another year. I will help it to grow and produce fruit.

  76. Eugenia Y5 says:

    This weeks gospel is all about forgiveness.

    A man had 2 boys that he loved very much.The youngest boy, who was greedy, asked his father to give him his share. The youngest brother went to a faraway country and spent all his money without thinking. He spent his money on expensive things that he probably didn’t use that much. He came back to his father money less and regretful. His father wasn’t angry. Instead, full of joy to see his son back organised a party.

    This gospel story is telling us that forgiveness is important in our lives and that if we forgive others we will become more like Jesus and God.

    Eugenia

  77. This weeks gospel is about forgiveness.
    God forgave us of all our sins. His son Jesus sacrificed himself for us and saved us.
    The father of the two sons forgave his son’s sins and was not angry at him. He was following Jesus and God through his life. The father also forgave him as he saw his son knew he had committed a sin. Forgiveness is not always easy but you have to try hard to do it.

  78. Sophie Yr6 says:

    Gospel: 23 03 22

    This week’s gospel is all about forgiveness. This gospel story is telling us that forgiveness is important in our lives and that if we forgive others we will become more like Jesus and God.

    I think that to forgive means to show people that you still love them, even if they have done something wrong, just like God and Jesus both forgive us when we make mistakes. In John 20:23, Jesus tells the disciples, “If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven”. I think that this means that Jesus wants us to forgive others, no matter what they do.

  79. This week’s Gospel is about forgiveness.The son made the wrong choice but the dad forgave his son . We should be kind to people even if they are being unkind to you and do the right thing and try to encourage them to be kind.

  80. In this reading God is the father and always gives us another chance. He welcomes us back with open arms when we come back to him.

  81. Maya ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿผ says:

    This week’s Gospel is all about forgiveness. There was a boy, he wanted money from the family. Then he went to another country to spend all money but then there was a famine and he was starving. He went to his father and said sorry but the father hugged him and forgave him.
    This story tells us that we need to forgive each other just like the father and God.

  83. Gabrielle says:

    This weeks Gospel is all about FORGIVENESS. I think it means you can always forgive and that Jesus is always here to help us forgive.

  84. They put Jesus on the cross. Jesus said God forgive everyone. Everyone that put me on the cross.
    This is forgiveness.

  85. Sophie Yr6 says:

    Gospel: 30 03 22

    This week’s Gospel is all about having a New Start. I think that this links to the resurrection of Jesus Christ because he died to take away our sins and to give everyone a better version of life.

    In the Gospel, Jesus is teaching in the Temple when a woman, who has broken the Law, is brought to him. Jesus tells those people that the first person that sinned will throw stones at her first. However, no-one wanted to show that they had been the first one to sin in front of the Lord himself. So, the woman was saved from being stoned to death.

    Sophie.

  86. 20.4.22

    Jesus went to Thomas who didn’t believe in the resurrection. He told him to touch the wounds of his hands so that he would believe it was Jesus. Then Jesus says: you believed because you saw me but blessed are those who who believe without seeing.

  87. Sienna ๐Ÿ˜ƒ says:

    I think the gospel reading is all about saying sorry to god for doing the things that were wrong to do and I also think the gospel is about forgiving other people

  88. Sophie Yr6 says:

    Gospel: 27 04 2022

    This week’s Gospel is all about being a witness. I think that, to be a witness means to see something that is amazing or important. The Disciples of Jesus witnessed many amazing things like the crucifixion of Jesus.

    In this week’s Gospel, Jesus gives Peter the chance to say he loves Him three times because Peter betrayed Jesus three times before his crucifixion. I think that this is a very kind act from Jesus to allow Peter to redeem himself.

  89. This weeks gospel is all about witness and infinite love.In this gospel we realise how Jesus loves Peter even if he betrayed Jesus 3 times before his crucifixion. It was also an act of forgiveness and kindness as it would be hard to forgive someone when they betrayed you 3 times but Jesus took it as an example to explain to us that brutality and rudeness isn’t any use.Jesus sets an example upon us as we should always love others ,even our enemies ,no matter what.

  90. KarolinaY5 says:

    In this Gospel Jesus shows forgivnes and love to Simion the son of John.Jesus asks Simion if he loves him and Simian reply he does So Jesus told him to feed his lamb. For the second time Jesus asks Simeon do you love me more than any other Simian says he does and so Jesus told him to feed his sleep.Finally Jesus asked him Simeon do you love me and so he said Lord you know everything you know that I love you this time Jesus told Simeon to look after his sheep.

  91. Nicolas yr 3 says:

    This weekโ€™s gospel is about new starts. We have a new start of school every week. To have a new start is to start again and try to do your best at being a good Christian and Catholic. Even if you made mistakes in the past God forgives you.

  92. Sophia Maria yr 6 says:

    This weekโ€™s Wednesday word is all about New Starts. To have a new start means to turn over a new leaf or to try something again and do it better. If we break our Lenten promise we should start new and try to do it again.
