The Sixth Sunday of Easter. |

In
today's Gospel (St. John 14: 15-21), Jesus tells the disciples that the
world will not see him for much longer, but he will ask God to send a
Helper to them. This is the Holy Spirit. We can share God's life, because
the Spirit can come inside us.
The Spirit helps us to hold on to Jesus's words and teaching; helps us
ask for the right things; helps us do as Jesus did.
We had a Treasure Hunt to find the Helper. Pictures were hidden round
the rooms we used. With each picture, there was a letter, which we had
to collect and place on our maps.

When
we had found all the letters, we had to jiggle them around to make a
word- Spirit- which was the Treasure.
We put the treasure in the middle of the island on our maps, because
the Spirit is inside us.
We all share the
treasure, because we all share the same Spirit. We are all joined to
each other and belong to each other. |

BEFRIEND
ME.
Come, Holy Spirit,
befriend me.
Be with me each day
in everything I do;
Be with me each night
as I lift my heart
to you;
Be with me each morn,
to greet me
like the dew;
Be with me
each time
I'm weak instead of strong.
Befriend me, Lord,
my whole life long.
Amen |
