The word of the week is Evangelise
We are in the 11th week of Ordinary Time and the Liturgical colour is green!
Welcome back! We remind ourselves of the good news we share with others by making the Sign of the Cross. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen
To evangelise is to share the Gospel with others. In the Church, we are called to evangelise by being faithful disciples of Jesus and putting that faith into action. When we evangelise as Missionary Disciples we are helping others to know Jesus and building the Kingdom of God on earth.
Have a read of the scripture passage for this week…
A reading from the letter of St James,
My friends, what good is it for one of you to say that you have faith if your actions do not prove it? Can that faith save you? Suppose there are brothers or sisters who need clothes and don’t have enough to eat. What good is there in your saying to them, “God bless you! Keep warm and eat well!”—if you don’t give them the necessities of life? So it is with faith: if it is alone and includes no actions, then it is dead. But someone will say, “One person has faith, another has actions.” My answer is, “Show me how anyone can have faith without actions. I will show you my faith by my actions.”
The Word of the Lord
R. Thanks be to God
James 2 – English Standard Version
Although we have to read along with the words, seeing Pope Francis talk about what it means to evangelise reminds us that its something that we can all do and that we can all be a part of.

We say together…
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
We remember that God is with us throughout our day as we make the Sign of the Cross…

You may have noticed that there is a general election going on! But what do you think about it all?
Although there is not an option (yet) for those under 18 to vote – what have you made of it all – have you engaged with any of it?
Watch this breakdown of the recently launched manifestos then have a discussion as a class – what do we think of what we’re are hearing and should you have a say on who runs the country?
It might be hard to see where our faith connects with politics but if you look closely you’ll see that a lot of the principles of Catholic Social Teaching are really what the parties are debating about.
What policies or parties do you think are working for the Common good?
What policies or parties do you think respect Human Dignity?
What policies or parties do you think are making a preferential option for the poor?
Lord we pray that our faith and our Gospel values can inspire our leaders to make our world a better place.

Throughout this week we’ve been thinking about those who show their faith by their actions. Spend some time individually or in groups thinking about the people in school who’ve shown their faith and how it has affected you. Has it inspired you act a certain way or encouraged you to understand something a bit more?
If you’re feeling brave then take turns one at a time in your form and share you answer out loud with each other.
Let us pray…
Lord, help us to put our faith into action in the service of others.
We remember that God is with us throughout our day as we make the Sign of the Cross…
This week’s prayer intentions: – to be used when you decide throughout the week.
We continue to pray for the country as we prepare for the general election on the 4th July. We pray that the campaigners and voters seek truth, justice and peace.
We pray for year 11 and year 13 who continue to sit their exams – we pray for those who have finished their exams and those whose exams are nearly over!
8P invite you to pray for…
The conflicts in Sudan, Ukraine and Gaza,
Those who are spiritually lost,
May God’s light allow them to find peace with themselves.

I am at the door, we don’t have to be forceful with the lock but we can simply ring the doorbell – we can share our faith and the love of our faith with people easily.
