THURSDAY WEEK 7 ORDINARY TIME Collect Let us pray that those who put their faith in God will be richly blessed. (pause) O God, show us your kindness and help us to turn to you in times of need. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Scripture A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah (30:18) The Lord God is waiting to show you how kind he is and to have pity on you. The Lord always does right, and he blesses everyone who trusts him. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. RESPONSE As today’s reading tells us, God will always be kind to those who trust him. Kindness is like a ripple - its effect can keep going far beyond the initial kind deed. Watch this video on the ripple effect of kindness. As a class, create a Kindness Chart, with ways you can be kind to your friends, teachers, families, neighbours, loved ones, and other people in your community. DISMISSAL May the joy that comes from God fill our hearts. Amen. May God bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 27 FEBRUARY 2025 24
