Virtue of the Week - Kindness
We will be practising this virtue from Monday 11th May 2020 until Friday 29th May 2020
Being Kind
When we are kind to other people we recognise their God-given dignity as a child of God. When we are kind we reach out to other people and show that they are important to God and to us. Being kind brings people together, combats suffering, dispels loneliness and builds up community and God’s kingdom. When we show kindness to animals and God’s creation we show our faith and love for God who asks us to take care of creation. When we are kind we show our humility because we know we depend on God and His creation for everything.
I am kind
when
- I look for ways to help others by following the example of Jesus
- I show kindness to any person or animal I see
- I look for ways to care for God’s creation
- I share what I have with other people
- I am kind to myself
Follow the example
“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better or happier.
Be the living expression of God’s kindness;
kindness in your face,
kindness in your eyes,
kindness in your smile,
kindness in your warm greeting”
St. Teresa of Calcutta

Virtues to Live By - Kindness
“In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’” (Acts of the Apostles 20:35)
I know that every act of kindness helps build God’s kingdom.
