Christ Our Neighbour
We prepared for the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time this week, listening to the parable of the Good Samaritan. Jesus tells this parable in response to the question, “Who is my neighbour?” We discussed how this parable shows three important actions the Good Samaritan took:
He noticed someone in need and didn’t walk by.
He took practical action to make a difference.
He offered financial support to keep the good work going.
In the same way, we invited children this week to support the work of our international charity - FISCH. Earlier in the week, children learnt about the work of FISCH, they then planned some practical action to help and, finally, they had the opportunity to donate some money at our FISCH Market under the willow tree. In this way, we have followed in the steps of the Good Samaritan.
