Thankfulness - Magazine - Page 1
Dear Parents and Carers,
This Sunday’s Gospel reminds us how we can live happier
lives by giving God what is due to him. But what is due to
God in our own lives? Surely our thankfulness would be a
good answer to this question.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, we read about the Samaritan who
thanked Jesus. For us too, there are many blessings in life
for which we can be thankful and it’s always worth giving
thanks to God.

Being thankful to God puts us in the right frame of
mind. It is good for our well-being and helps us to
be happy in life.
Enjoy a special Family Time together, hearing your
child’s thoughts about this Sunday’s Gospel and this
Wednesday’s word, which is THANKFULNESS.

THE GOSPEL IN CHURCH
Sunday 12th October 2025
On the way to Jerusalem Jesus
travelled along the border between
Samaria and Galilee. As he entered
one of the villages, ten lepers came
to meet him. They stood some way
off and called to him, “Jesus! Master!
Take pity on us.” When he saw them he said,
“Go and show yourselves to the priests.”
Now, as they were going away, they were
cleansed. Finding himself cured, one of them
turned back praising God at the top of his voice
and threw himself at the feet of Jesus and thanked
him. The man was a Samaritan. This made Jesus
say, “Were not all ten made clean? The other
nine, where are they? It seems that no one has
come back to give praise to God, except this
foreigner.” And he said to the man, “Stand up
and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”
