Good News - Magazine - Page 1
Dear Parents and Carers,
In this Sunday’s Gospel we are reminded that Jesus
brings Good News to everyone.
We can all at times be blinded by selfishness or jealousy,
be prisoners of guilt or worry, or be oppressed by
bad habits. But Jesus has come to set us free, to help
us renew our relationship with God and to enrich our
relationships with each other.

Today, our schools and parishes continue Jesus’
work, sharing the Good News of the Gospel so that
people of the world can know God’s love for them.
This Good News is for you and me – Here! Now! We
need only to be open to God’s Spirit.
Enjoy exploring this Sunday’s Gospel and this
Wednesday’s words, which are GOOD NEWS.

Jesus, with the power of the Spirit
in him, returned to Galilee; and
his reputation spread throughout
the countryside. He went into the
synagogue on the sabbath day as he
usually did. He stood up to read, and
they handed him the scroll of the prophet Isaiah.
Unrolling the scroll he found the place where it
is written: ‘The spirit of the Lord has been given
to me, for he has anointed me. He has sent me
to bring the good news to the poor, to proclaim
freedom to prisoners and new sight to the blind,
to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the Lord’s
year of favour.’ He then rolled up the scroll, gave
it back to the assistant and sat down. And all
eyes in the synagogue were fixed on him. Then
he began to speak to them, “This scripture is
being fulfilled today even as you listen.”
Adapted from Luke 1:1-4; 4:14-21

The word ‘Gospel’ means ‘Good News’. The Church provides us with both the Bible (which
contains the four gospels about Jesus and his teachings) and the ‘Catechism of the Catholic
Church’. These are manuals for life which tell of the Good News which Jesus brings to all.
To see the Catechism online, visit: wednesdayword.org – Parents’ Pages.
