1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus said to his friends: “The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who hired some
workers in the morning and agreed to pay them a silver coin for a full day’s work. Much
later in the day he hired more workers to work on his land. Then, at the end of the day, he
paid each person the same amount. Those who started in the morning were unhappy that
those who started later were being paid the same. But the landowner said to them, ‘I paid
you what we agreed; so why be jealous just because I am generous?’”
Why were some workers jealous?

2 SHARE & CARE! Growing in Goodness & Love : This Wednesday’s Word...
“God is generous. He shows us all his love and encourages
GENEROUS
us to be generous.”
Pope Francis (Pope from 2013-2025)
Ask your child what the word ‘generous’ means to them. Can
they remember a time, at home, at school or in the community,
when they were generous, when they last gave something away
without expecting anything in return? Who do they know who is a
generous person - that is, someone who is willing to share and to
put others’ needs first? How does your child feel when someone
is generous towards them and gives them first choice or shares a
special treat with them?

Being generous brings us closer to God. God wants us to be generous
and, just like the workers in the Gospel, it’s never too late to start! We
can be generous by sharing our possessions, but God also calls us to be
generous with our time and our love. How can we be generous in this
coming week? Perhaps we can: give some of our time to talk to
someone in need; try especially hard to share with others; give any
toys or unused items to a charity; offer to help someone – maybe a new
classmate who has joined our school.
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for your generous love. Please help us to grow in
generosity and to do your work in the world with a loving and generous heart. Amen .
