Wednesday‘s Word KINDNESS
“Let us learn to live with kindness, to love everyone,
even when they do not love us.” Pope Francis
How does Jesus say we should treat our enemies? In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus teaches
the people about how we should treat others. He calls us to do something exceptional:
we must love all people and be kind to them. Jesus’ life is a lesson in how we are to be
kind to all people – even those people who aren’t kind to us in return. Ask your child
what the word ‘kindness’ means to them. Each of you speak about a kind person. How
does that person show their kindness? Has anyone ever been especially kind to you – even
when you didn’t deserve it? If so, how did it feel?
“Do not refuse a kindness to anyone who asks it.” Proverbs 3:27
Kindness is part of everyday life, particularly family life. Even small, everyday acts of
kindness are most valuable in God’s eyes. Every act of kindness done to someone else
is also done to Jesus, and it will be rewarded accordingly. In this coming week, how
can we show kindness to each other? Perhaps we can: be generous, sometimes giving
people more than we think they deserve; try to be compassionate and patient with others;
pray a blessing on people around us – even those who aren’t very friendly. It’s not easy
to follow some of Jesus’ teachings, so it’s often good for children to speak about their
situations and intentions with parents or teachers first.

Dear Lord Jesus, please give us the strength to be kind to
everyone we meet, even those who we find difficult. Amen.

We learn to be kind by receiving kindness!
Our homes are great places to learn;
families can be schools of kindness.
