Let your light shine

Children showing how they will let their light shine

At children's liturgy the children thought about how they could follow Jesus' message from today's reading and let their light shine.  We sang 'this little light of mine' and shared ways in which we could share God's love. The corporal acts of mercy are ways we can help our neighbour with the things they need. 

Corporal Acts of Mercy

• feed the hungry
• shelter the homeless
• clothe the naked
• visit the sick and imprisoned
• bury the dead
• give alms to the poor

In the parish we have the SVP who help those in need and many parishioners have been helping the homeless by bringing things for Christchurch Emergency Night shelter.
