A Weekly Gift to you and your family from your Catholic School
SHARING SUNDAY’S GOSPEL WITH PARENTS & FAMILIES This Sunday is the last in the Church’s year. It is the day on which we celebrate the feast of Christ the King. This feast presents a golden opportunity for us to make a new start with Jesus – the Universal King. It is a celebration to which all are warmly invited. The Gospel reminds us that Jesus’ kingship is not one of political power, crowns and splendour, but one of peace and truth. He is not an earthly king – his kingdom is heaven.
Wednesday 17th November 2021 Jesus stands up for God’s true values of love and forgiveness and leads us into the truth. He also reveals to us the truth about ourselves. Enjoy a very special time together this evening, hearing your child’s thoughts about this Sunday’s Gospel and this Wednesday’s word, which is LEADER.

THE GOSPEL IN CHURCH Sunday 21st November 2021
At Jesus’ trial, Pilate called Jesus and asked him, “Are you the king of the Jews?” Jesus replied, “Do you ask this of your own accord, or have others spoken to you about me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? It is your own people and the chief priests who have handed you over to me: what have you done?” Jesus replied, “Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my followers would have fought to prevent my being handed over. But my kingdom is not of this kind.” “So you are a king then?” said Pilate. “It is you who say it,” answered Jesus. “Yes, I am a king. I was born for this; I came into the world for this: to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.” Adapted from John 18:33-37 Christ the King, Year B
