Gospel of the Week

The Third Sunday of Ordinary Time - Year A

Jesus Begins Work in Galilee

Jesus heard that John had been put in prison. So Jesus went back to Galilee. He left Nazareth and went and lived in Capernaum, a town near Lake Galilee. Capernaum is in the area near Zebulun and Naphtali. Jesus did this to make true what the prophet Isaiah said:

“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali

are on the way to the sea.

They are along the Jordan River.

This is Galilee where the non-Jewish people live.

These people who live in darkness

will see a great light.

They live in a place that is very dark.

But a light will shine on them.” Isaiah 9:1-2

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Change your hearts and lives, because the kingdom of heaven is coming soon.”

Matthew 4:12-17

What Parents & Carers need to know about

Twitter

For more than a decade, Twitter has rarely strayed far from the headlines. Since its takeover by tech tycoon Elon Musk last autumn, however, the social media giant has been receiving even more news coverage; some of the subsequent changes to the platform – such as introducing ‘view counts’ and the option to ‘buy’ verified account status – have caused particular concern.

Keen to feel connected to their heroes of sport and showbiz by following their accounts, children are allowed onto Twitter from the age of 13 (while many even younger ones use it unofficially) and are often significantly influenced by what they see there. This week’s guide tells trusted adults what they need to know about the current incarnation of Twitter..

This Week's Prayer

Dear Father,

Thank you for sending your Son. Help us to be witnesses so that others will come to know his love as we do.

In Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.

God Bless You,

Mrs Brosnan

Head Teacher
