🎦 School Assembly from Father Andrew

Jesus chose ordinary people like you and me from his time to spread the Good News. They got it right quite a lot of the time, but also messed up!

Here is a way of looking back on our day, and maybe getting rid of all the rubbish that clutters our memory boxes so that we can have a fresh start tomorrow.

At the end of your day, find a comfortable place, and remind yourself that God is there with you.

• Now look back over your day. Were you at home? Were you somewhere else too?

• What made you happy today? Did somebody say or do something that made you feel good? Someone in your family, a friend, a teacher or someone else? Did you say or do anything that made you feel good? Was there something that you really enjoyed? Whatever made you feel happy today, thank God for those things now.

• Did anything make you sad today? Maybe something that happened, or that someone said or did? Did you do something that made you feel unhappy? Maybe there is something you want to say sorry for? Whatever made you feel sad or unhappy today, remember that you are precious to God and that nothing ever changes that.

• Now think about your day tomorrow. Is there anything you would like to ask God to help you with, or anything you are worried about, or anything that you need? Talk to God about it now and ask God to be with you through your day.

May be finish with The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name;

Thy kingdom come;

Thy will be done ;

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation;

But deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

The power and the glory,

For ever and ever.

Amen.

If there are other things you would like me to talk about, please let me know via the people at your schools who send out information to you, and they can let me know. Blessings from Father Andrew
