1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus said to his disciples: “You are the salt of the earth. You are like a light shining
for the whole world to see, just like a city built high on top of a hill which cannot
be hidden from view. No one lights a lamp and then covers it up; they put it where
it shines and gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, you must let
your light shine for others, so that people will see the good that you do, and give

2 SHARE & CARE! Growing in Goodness & Love : This Wednesday’s Word...
“Each person, according to their ability, should be
GOODNESS
a pattern of goodness to others.”
St Basil the Great
Ask your child what the word ‘goodness’ means to them.
Who stands out for them as being full of goodness? How do they
show that goodness? As a family, name a quality of goodness that
you can see in each other (perhaps helpfulness, thoughtfulness,
generosity, patience, gentleness, kindness). Are there any qualities
of goodness that you would like to have more of?

We can show our love for God through trying our best to grow in
goodness. Each of you decide on a particular act of goodness to let
your ‘light shine’ – to make life better for others. Perhaps you can:
be more compassionate and caring; share sweets or other favourite
things; make a phone call to someone who may be lonely; be a kind and
patient listener; ask God to help you grow in goodness.
Dear Lord Jesus, you are the source of all goodness. Thank you for all the people
who help us to grow in goodness and become the best that we can be. Amen.
