Better Together at Holy Spirit
January 30 - February 3, 2023
We hear in today’s Gospel the Beatitudes Jesus taught during his Sermon on the Mount. The Beatitudes are eight blessings that tell us how God wants us to live, Jesus tells us that those who humbly seek God’s ways, and not human ways, are blessed in the kingdom of heaven.
Ask your child about the Beatitudes which we spoke about at our assembly on Friday.
