The Wednesday Word is a special resource that helps children and their families reflect on the Sunday Gospel each week. It is shared with school every Wednesday and provides a simple and engaging way to explore the message of the upcoming Gospel reading. Through stories, prayers, and activities, the Wednesday Word encourages children to think about how they can live out the values of the Gospel in their daily lives. It also supports families in coming together to grow in faith and deepen their understanding of the teachings of Jesus.

This Week's Wednesday Word

😊 Wednesday Word – HAPPINESS 😊

This week, our Wednesday Word invites us to reflect on HAPPINESS. In Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus teaches the Beatitudes, showing us that true happiness doesn’t come from possessions or success, but from loving God and caring for others.

Jesus turns our usual ideas of happiness upside down, reminding us that kindness, gentleness, mercy and making peace lead to a deep and lasting joy.

🏡 Try this at home:
• Talk together about what makes you truly happy – when do you feel happiest and why?
• Ask your child about their happiest memory or a time they made someone else happy.
• Share with your child when they made you feel happy.
• As a family, choose one small action this week to spread happiness – forgiving someone, helping at home, offering a kind word, or making a fresh start.
