1 READ & REFLECT! Listen & Learn with Jesus, the Word!
Jesus’ disciples gathered around him, and he began to teach them. “Happy are people
who know they need God, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to them. Happy are
people who are gentle. Happy are people who show mercy, for they will have mercy
shown to them. Happy are the people whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.
Happy are people who make peace, for they will be called children of God. Rejoice

and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.”

2 SHARE & CARE! Growing in Goodness & Love : This Wednesday’s Word...
“The goal of our life is to experience God’s
HAPPINESS
own happiness - a gift to every person.”
Adapted from the Catechism of the Catholic Church (nos 1718-1719)
Ask your child what they think true happiness is. When or
where are they usually most happy? What is their happiest
memory? When did your child last make someone truly
happy? It may help your child if you can tell them when
they most recently made you happy (or when you are most
happy). True happiness comes from knowing and loving God.
Sharing God’s love is the happiest way to live.
Each of you choose some little, simple thing to do which will
help to create a better atmosphere of happiness in school, the
community, or at home this week. Perhaps you can: volunteer to
give someone a helping hand; serve your parents and teachers
by cheerfully doing what you are asked to do at home and at
school; forgive someone who has upset you, and make a fresh
start with them; give someone a kind message or a gift.
Lord Jesus, thank you for showing us how to be truly happy. May our family be filled with
3 theDearhappiness
which comes from following your ways, so that we can share it with others. Amen.

A happy heart is a sign of God’s Spirit within us. This Sunday’s
Gospel shows us how to be happy. We don’t have to search
around for happiness: it comes from within. When we listen
to Jesus and follow his ways we are filled with happiness!
