| Today
there was no special liturgy for the children, as it was the Feast of
the Holy Family and traditionally, families sit together at mass.. |
|
|
|
| In
today's Gospel, we heard how, when Jesus was twelve, Mary and Joseph took
him to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. Afterwards, Jesus stayed
behind, when his parents travelled home, until they noticed he was missing.
They were very worried until they found him in the temple, asking questions.
Mary asked him why he had caused them so much distress, at which he explained
he thought they would know he would be in his father's house.

| Father
John talked about all kinds of families, to explain to us that though
there may be worries, all that really matters is love and wisdom ( being
able to judge the best thing to do). A house may not be smart, but is
a home if there is love. Having lots of money or toys, being left to do
as they please, may seem something a child would enjoy for a short time,
but they would know that their parents were not really showing love by
giving them these things. |

| God
Bless All Our Families.. |

|
| Sometimes
a parent has to guide us in a wise, gentle way, because they have more
experience- and we have to listen, even though we find it hard to take
advice! |

|
|
| We
heard about a little girl in the parish who has just had an operation,
after being ill, but still coming to our liturgy every week. We are so
happy she is getting better and that her operation is a complete success.
|
|
|
|
| 'We
pray that she will continue to get better day by day. Thank you, God,
for taking care of her. ' |
