The Wednesday Word- Companion

Dear Parents and Carers,

A good companion is priceless and helps us to make the

best of ourselves. In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus offers

his companionship to us and to our children.

In this much-loved and encouraging gospel passage,

Jesus invites us to go to him to rest and to be

refreshed. Jesus came to take away fear and loneliness

– to help people feel loved and accepted. We can

experience Jesus’ companionship through other people

and through spending time with God in prayer.

We do not need to be clever, rich or popular for

God to care for us. Regardless of our faults or

weaknesses, Jesus always loves us and offers us

his comfort and everlasting companionship.

Enjoy a special time together this evening,

hearing your child’s thoughts about this

Sunday’s Gospel and this Wednesday’s word,

which is COMPANION.
