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

✨ This Week’s Wednesday Word: TEACHER ✨

This week we’re reflecting on the word TEACHER and Jesus’ reminder that “Whoever practises and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:19).

Parents are a child’s first teachers in faith, and so many others help guide us too — at home, at school, in church, and in our community. Jesus is our greatest teacher of all, showing us how to love, forgive, and live well.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Ideas for Families at Home:

• Talk together about what the word teacher means. Who teaches you about God?

• Ask your child who their favourite teacher is and why.

• Say a short prayer together for teachers, parents, carers, and anyone who helps us learn.

• Show appreciation this week: say thank you, listen carefully, or try your best to put good teaching into action.

• Share a family story about someone who was a great teacher in your life.

🙏 “Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for all the people who teach us. Help us to learn and grow in your love.”
