Kids Corner, Gaudete Sunday.

Question Time: What is Gaudete Sunday?? Scroll down this page for the answer!!

Look at the Saint of the Day feature too, read the story of Lazarus or get a grown up to read it to you, and you can also print off and colour in the picture.

Luke 3:10-18 • He will Baptise you with the Holy Spirit

Bella: Hi Cian, we were at my new cousin’s baptism!
Cian: Cool! What was it like?
Bella: It was a lovely day, the baby squealed really loud when the cold water was poured on her head!
Cian: Like a cold shower!! The Gospel today is about being baptised with holy water and with the Holy Spirit. John the Baptist said that he baptised with Holy water and that Jesus would come with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit fills us with love and courage.
Bella: Wow! My baby cousin is filled with love and courage now! Maybe she will do something amazing with her life!
Cian: With the Holy Spirit we all can do something amazing with our lives, I’m off to score the winning goal with the team and guess who is helping me with that!!


How can you show others that you have been filled with the Holy Spirit since your baptism?
