Dear Parents and Carers,
Love is life’s greatest blessing. St Teresa of Calcutta
once said, “Love begins at home, and it is not how
much we do that matters … but how much love we
put into it.”
The new commandment which Jesus gave to his friends
is for us too – today! Everyone likes to be loved and
family and school life become more joyful when we
follow Jesus’ command to love one another.
In Sunday’s Gospel, we listen to the words of Jesus at
the Last Supper. Jesus gives his friends, the disciples, a new
commandment – they must love one another as Jesus
loves them, with whole-hearted and unlimited generosity.
Enjoy a special time together, hearing your child’s
thoughts about this Sunday’s Gospel and this
Wednesday’s word, which is LOVE.
A Word from
the Saints

“It is not enough to say ‘I love.’ We must put that love
into a living action.” St Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa)

When Judas had gone Jesus
said: “Now the Son of Man is
glorified, and God is glorified in
him. If God is glorified in him,
God will also glorify him, and
will glorify him very soon. My
little children, I shall not be with you much
longer. I give you a new commandment:
love one another; just as I have loved you,
you also must love one another. By this
love you have for one another, everyone
will know that you are my disciples.
Adapted from John 13:31-35
