God’s Family

We are all global neighbours and we all belong to God’s family.

Some of our family are near to us, in our class and in our school community. But God’s global family spreads out across

all the countries in the world.

Some members of our global family are not able to go to school.

Some of our sisters and brothers are not able to have medicine when they are unwell.

And some members of our global family do not have a safe place to live.

Do you think this is fair?

CAFOD works together with children and families in over 50 countries around the world, helping to make sure that all the

members of God’s family have what they need.

Let us take a few minutes

to think about our sisters and brothers in our school community, in this country and in the rest of the world.

Loving God,Bless all of our family around the world.

sharing what we have so that others have what they need.

Help us to grow and learn in your love,

Help us to remember that we are all special because God loves each of us as we are.

Teach us to love all our sistersand brothers near and far as Jesus taught us.

Bless our new school family. Help us to live and work together peacefully. Help us to look after one another.Amen
