TRUST
Wednesday‘s Word
“Put
Put your trust in God! The Beatitudes are Jesus’ way of life.
life.”
Pope Francis
What did Jesus say belongs to the poor? The blessings in this Sunday’s Gospel, which are taken
from Jesus’ Sermon on the Plain (or Mount), are Luke’s version of the ‘Beatitudes’. This is one of
the most well-known passages in the Bible and has encouraged people throughout the ages
to trust in God. The Beatitudes remind us that, however bad things might look, those who
serve and trust in God will have the reward of his everlasting love and blessings. It takes
complete trust in God for us to live in this way. Ask your child what the word ‘trust’ means
to them. Knowing who to trust is really important. Which people does your child really trust
and why do they trust them?
“Trust
Trust the past to God’s mercy, the present to God’s love
and the future to God’s care.
care.” St Augustine of Hippo
Trusting in God’s promises isn’t always easy – but it’s always rewarding. No amount of
worrying will increase our safety or comfort; it’s through trusting in God that we will find
security and hope. Each of you say how, in the days ahead, you can show your trust in God.
Perhaps you can: pray and offer any concerns to God if you are feeling worried; try to do
your best without being afraid of making occasional mistakes; believe that God will bring
good out of all that happens in life, even when things seem to be going wrong.

“Be _ _ _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ , because your
_ _ _ _ _ _ will be great in _ _ _ _ _ _ .”
Jesus wants us to trust in God. There can be many things
that trouble our hearts, but following and trusting in God frees us
from worrying in this life and assures us of life forever with God.
