    WHOLE SCHOOL FOCUS

    The Whole school focus theme for this year is ‘Walking Together’.  

    Our value for the next two weeks is: RESPECT

    We can show this in the Mother Teresa School way by:

    • Treating people the way we want to be treated.
    • Playing by the rules and taking turns.
    • Telling the truth.
    • Listening to other people’s ideas.
    • Being considerate of other people’s feelings.

    “Are you jealous because I am generous?”

     Something to Think About

    Have you ever felt that something was unfair? Do you sometimes think others are getting more than they should, instead of being grateful for what you have? We may not like everyone, but we should respect people and treat them fairly. Is there anyone you have treated unfairly or without respect this week?

    The simple message of today’s reading is that God loves us totally and freely. We cannot earn God's love - it is for God to give to us! God's love is not payment for work done or a life well lived - it is pure gift and there is nothing we can do to earn it. Think about your parents and their constant willingness to forgive and to show their love for you. What gift of love can you offer someone this week?

    The Story

    The men who stood in the market were waiting for work. This was how the system worked. Early in the morning a man would take his tools and go to the market and wait for someone to offer him work for the day. If a man missed out on a day's work, then his family could starve. A normal working day began at 6.00am and ended at 6.00pm. Therefore those who were hired at 5.00pm would have worked no more than an hour. On the surface it is easy to understand the grumbling and the discontent - that all received the same wage for working very different hours. God does not judge in the same way we do. God is generous and welcomes everyone into the Kingdom no matter what time they arrive!
