Self Giving - Magazine - Page 1
Dear Parents and Carers,
A very warm welcome to you and to your family as we
begin this new school year.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, we read that God loves us so
much that he gave his only Son for us. Jesus’ great act
of love, of self-giving, on the cross, has paved the way
for people to share in the true richness of God’s joy
and love in this life, and also in the life to come.

God wants us to try to live like Jesus, to be ‘selfgiving’, which is the opposite of being ‘selfish’. To be
‘self-giving’ is to be very aware of others’ needs or
interests, and to put others’ needs before our own.
Enjoy hearing your child’s thoughts about this
Sunday’s Gospel and this Wednesday’s word, which
is SELF- GIVING
GIVING.

THE GOSPEL IN CHURCH
Sunday 14th September 2025
Jesus said to Nicodemus: “No
one has gone up to heaven
except the one who came
down from heaven – that
is, the Son of Man who is in
heaven. The Son of Man must be lifted
up as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
desert, so that everyone who believes
may have eternal life in him. Yes, God
loved the world so much that he gave his
only Son, so that everyone who believes
in him may not be lost but may have
eternal life. Indeed, God did not send
the Son into the world to condemn the
world, but so that through him the world
might be saved.”
