Wednesday‘s Word
“Love each other as Jesus has loved us. He has given
nothing less than his life for us.” St Teresa of Calcutta
What did Jesus call the bread as he broke it and gave it to his disciples? In this Sunday’s Gospel,
Jesus and his disciples are sharing the ‘Last Supper’ together. Jesus begins to prepare them for
his departure from the world and offers them the gift of himself – his life. Jesus wants all people
to share in the gift of his life because he loves us so much. Ask your child what the word ‘life’
means to them. Ask them who, or what, makes their life special. What is most important to
them in their life just now? You might want to tell your child how they make your life special.
“We know well that with Jesus, life becomes richer and that
with him it is easier to find meaning in everything.” Pope Francis
Jesus is the Bread of Life. He wants to make our lives special and complete, and he wants
us to make life better for others too. In this coming week, how can we make life better
for others at home, at school or in the community? Perhaps we can: be kind and friendly
to someone that we know but haven’t really talked to before; be generous and share
more; show our gratitude to all those who help us through life, and pray for them too;
as a family, call someone who is lonely or not well; help someone to feel special and
valued - to feel alive.

The night _ _ _ _ _ _ he was crucified, _ _ _ _ _ and his disciples
had _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to celebrate the Passover _ _ _ _ together.
This Sunday, the Church celebrates the Feast of Corpus Christi
[two Latin words which mean ‘the Body of Christ’].
This is traditionally a time when children make their First Holy Communion. Jesus is
always with us but he is especially present in the Sacrament of Holy Communion.
