1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
On his way to Jerusalem, Jesus went into a village. Ten men with leprosy,
a terrible skin disease, stood a long way off. They shouted, “Jesus! Master! Take
pity on us.” Jesus said, “Go and show yourselves to the priests as the Law teaches
us.” As they went on their way they were all healed. But only one of the ten, a
Samaritan, turned back praising God at the top of his voice and threw himself at
the feet of Jesus and thanked him. Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go on

“Be thankful for the smallest blessings, and you will
THANKFULNESS
deserve to receive greater blessings.”
Thomas à Kempis
Ask your child what the word ‘thankfulness’ means
to them. You may want to help your child understand
what the word ‘thankfulness’ means to you. Can your
child remember a time when they felt really thankful
to someone? How did they show their thanks to that
person? Each of you name one or two things that (as
well as your family) you are most thankful to God for.

Remembering to say ‘thank you’ to God regularly
throughout the day helps love to grow in our hearts.
Who else will you remember to thank this week? Perhaps
a parent or carer, a family member, a teacher or a friend.
How will you do this—perhaps with a hug, kind words, a
thank-you note, a prayer, a gift, or by offering them
your help? Even a small act of kindness can mean a lot.
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for blessing us in so many ways. Help us to be always
thankful to you and to show our thankfulness by loving those around us. Amen.
