Congratulations
to all the children who made their First Holy Communion last week and
yesterday. |

Today,
we have been acting out the story of how Jairus and the sick woman asked
Jesus for help.
We thought about how worried Jairus would be as his daughter was ill,
but how hard it would be to push through the crowd of ordinary people
, because Jairus was an important man.
One of our tallest boys wore a special cloak in order to pretend he was
Jesus, and lots of children crowded round him. Enya pretended to be Jairus.
When Jesus arrived at Jairus' house, the people thought his little girl
was already dead, but Jesus said she was only sleeping and told her to
get up.
Enya wonderfully expressed Jairus' gratitude that his daughter was alive. |

It
was difficult, too, for the woman with the embarrassing illness, because
she would have been thought of as unclean. People would not want to be
near her. She was so frightened, she just wanted to touch Jesus's cloak,
without being seen. She believed this would be enough to heal her.
Both she and Jairus had great faith that Jesus could help. |

We
have taken turns to touch the cloak, pretending it belonged to Jesus.
We closed our eyes and asked for help for somebody.Then we chose a piece
of material with a colour or pattern which says how we felt when we touched
the cloak and thought of the person.
We pinned the material on to the cloak; we pinned our trust and hope to
Jesus that he would help the person.
We said the 'DIVINE MERCY' prayer; |

'Jesus,
I trust in You!' |
