The Wednesday Word - Faithfulness

Dear Parents and Carers,

In this Sunday's Gospel, Jesus (using the language and imagery of his time) describes the 'earth-shaking' signs of his return at the end of time.  The Gospel gives us only images about the end of the world, not a detailed time-table.

Jesus reminds us to look beyond the troubles of the world, to something far more important.  Jesus assures us that although many things in the world may change, his words will last forever.  We can be certain that our faithfulness to God will be rewarded in this life and in the life to come.

Enjoy a very special time together this evening, hearing your child's thoughts about this Sunday's Gospel and this Wednesday's word, which is FAITHFULNESS.
