Mark 10:46-52 • With God’s love, nothing is impossible!
Cian: Hi there Guys, Bella is gone to the dentist today so while she is getting a filling, I’m going to ‘fill you in’ on this Sunday’s Gospel!!! Ha ha do you get it?!!
When we believe in ourselves and in our relationship with God we have a much better chance of succeeding in life. So my Nan always says anyway. I reckon she is right y’know because the Gospel this Sunday talks about real belief. A man who was blind asked Jesus to help him and his belief was so real and so full on that Jesus told him that he would see because his belief was so strong. I always talk to God when I am worried or before a match or if I’m in trouble, actually especially if I’m in trouble and I always feel calm and better about things. You should try it, talk to God and show your belief in His greatness by allowing him into your heart. Now I’m going to say a quick prayer for Bella and that filling!

Take time to say a prayer today and show God you are grateful for His love.
