Our scripture this week comes from the Gospel of Mark. Gospel of Mark presents a fast-paced account of Jesus’ life and mission, highlighting his actions, suffering, and the call to follow him faithfully.
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark.
GLORY TO YOU O LORD
‘For even the Son of Man did not come to be served; he came to serve and to give his life to redeem many people.’
Mark 10:45
The Gospel of the Lord
PRAISE TO YOU LORD JESUS CHRIST
This verse shows that real leadership and love involve sacrifice. Jesus is willing to give up his own life so that others can be saved. It teaches that true greatness is not about being important, but about putting others first and serving them, even when it costs something.
Answer the following questions in pairs or as a form:
Can you think of someone in your life who shows this kind of attitude?
Why might helping others sometimes require sacrifice?
Make sure you put the scripture reference (Mark 10:45) in the scripture box on your sheet.
Write your form’s thoughts about the above in the message box.
Today the Church celebrates the feast of Saint Patrick. Known for his mission to bring the Gospel to Ireland, Patrick reminds us what it means to be a missionary disciple, someone who shares faith through word, action, and witness. This connects beautifully with the Bishops’ theme for this year, which invites us to continue living as missionary disciples in our own communities. Although many people mark the day by wearing green, the Church’s liturgical colour for this feast is white, a sign of celebration and holiness. It is also a special day for those who are Irish or who have Irish heritage, who will be celebrating their faith, culture, and the lasting impact of St Patrick’s mission.
As form time prayer comes to an end, we pray for a deeper understanding of the teachings of the Bible. With all these things in our mind, we pray together, with Our Lady of Lourdes…
Hail, Mary, full of grace,
Amen
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,

now and at the hour of our death.
