The Wednesday Word- Courage

Dear Parents and Carers,

In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus is sending out his disciples

to heal and to preach the good news. Even if they are met

with hostility and persecution, they must be true to Jesus.

Jesus himself was fearless in proclaiming truth and

exposing falsehood. Now his disciples must courageously

do the same.

Most of us require courage at some time in our lives,

so it’s good and helpful to nurture courage in our children.

As our children mature, it’s essential for them to

be brave and have the courage to say ‘no’ when

necessary, even if it means going against the crowd

or speaking up for truth. 

Enjoy a special time together this evening, hearing your

child’s thoughts about this Sunday’s Gospel and this

Wednesday’s word, which is COURAGE.
