In church, Father John told everyone about people he had known in his life whom he considered to be saints, because of the beautiful way they lived, caring for others.
 
We have been looking at 'Sorry' prayers, so we thought about the ways we are, perhaps, not caring towards others and how we can make up for this.
 
We heard the Gospel story about Zacchaeus, from Luke 19: 1-10.
 
Zacchaeus had not lived a good life.His job was to change money, but he often took too much from people.
Jesus went his house one day. Zacchaeus confessed all he had done wrong. He told Jesus he would try to put things right. He believed in Jesus.
 
Jesus said,"Today, Salvation has come to this house."
 
Zacchaeus was forgiven.
 
We know Zacchaeus climbed a tree to see Jesus.
We made our own tree and wrote on leaves all the things we have done wrong, or regret doing- and we put the leaves on our tree.
 
Just as Autumn comes, our wrong-doing will blow away and we will be forgiven. Then we begin again, with a fresh start- just like Spring; new and fresh.
