St Mary's The Wednesday Word- New Start
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome back to school and a Happy New Year to all.
January is traditionally the month of beginnings –
a time for making a new start. In Church this Sunday
we celebrate a special feast – The Baptism of the Lord.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, John the Baptist didn’t see the
need to baptise Jesus, because Jesus was sinless.
But Jesus insisted because he wanted to stand alongside
the community - to help them make a new start and
give them an example to follow.
Jesus, God’s beloved Son, came for everyone:
to draw us all into his family so that we can become
more like him and joyfully share in God’s own life.
Enjoy a special time together this evening, hearing your
child’s thoughts about this Sunday’s Gospel and this
Wednesday’s words, which are NEW START.
Dom Henry Wansbrough
