Missionary Discipleship

Today we enjoyed a wonderful assembly with Fr Lim to learn about being a Missionary Disciple, which is our theme for this term.

We started by saying Happy Easter to one another! We are in the season of Eastertide which lasts for 50 days. It is a time to celebrate the joy of the resurrection.

Fr Lim has visited us each term this year to talk to us about each of the Bishop’s three themes.

We revisited the themes of Encounter and Discipleship before exploring this term’s theme.

Encounter – Spending time with Jesus

Discipleship – following in Jesus’ footsteps

Missionary Discipleship – Being sent out telling people the word of Jesus

For a long time, people thought that we must travel the world to reach people who have never heard about Jesus. But Pope Francis tells us that we don’t even have to leave our house to be a missionary disciple: we can talk to the people in our families about the Good News.

Jesus’ apostles were the first missionary disciples: they were given a task by God to go and spread the Good News. Some set up local places of worship, some travelled around the world, others wrote about Jesus’ life to teach us about His miracles. These are big missions to accomplish! To be a missionary disciple, we don’t need to do anything quite so dramatic: we can start this at home with our families.

Fr Lim gave us an important message: sometimes we can drift away from our faith and forget the joy we experience in our lives when we praise God. Being a missionary disciple can start as small as asking your family to join you in prayer and coming back to God. This is spreading the Good News! Remember, being a missionary disciple is not about seeking out someone who has never heard of Jesus, it can be bringing people back to Him too.

    Thank you for a fantastic assembly Fr Lim; we in 6DM really enjoyed it!

    Christo: Today’s assembly made me think about how I can help people encounter Jesus. I could encourage them to go to mass or to an adoration.

    Baraka: Today’s assembly made me feel calm and brave after realising Jesus’s sacrifice was able to save everyone as he set us free from sin. Hearing about missionary discipleship has inspired me to go out in the world and tell everyone the Good News!

    Hannah: As a result of today’s assembly, I will remember Jesus’s resurrection to try to keep hopeful during hard times. When I get good at this, I will teach and support others to do the same – I want to be a missionary disciple!

    Thank you to Fr Lim for such a fantastic live assembly this morning! It was so lovely to see children back in the hall, listening so carefully and providing lots of insightful responses to Fr Lim’s questions.

    I really enjoyed finding out more about Missionary Discipleship. I thought the paintings Fr Lim used at the start of the assembly really helped us to visualise what the Bishop’s three themes (Encounter, Discipleship and Missionary Discipleship) look like in scripture but Fr Lim then taught us all about how these themes could look in our every day lives.

    The assembly made me feel empowered and enthused. I reflected on how I encounter Jesus, how I follow him and how I spread the good news and on how I could do these things further in my life to be the very best missionary disciple that I can be!

    As a result of today’s assembly, I will reflect on our Weekly Word assemblies on Wednesdays and the missions that we set each week in these assemblies. How can these collective worships be even better? And how can I spread the Good News and enthuse further the pupils of Christ the King to live out the mission given to all of us by God?

    Thanks again to Fr Lim and to Miss Bolam, Mrs Darby and Mrs Kolinska for facilitating such an insightful and informative assembly.

    From Mrs Taylor’s class:

    1) Alex – It made me feel calm.
    2) Kaja – It made me feel closer to God
    3) Amahle – It made me feel grateful.
    4) Sophia – I can become a missionary disciple by following in Jesus’ footsteps and helping others.
    5) Surina – I can become a missionary disciple by talking to my family about Jesus and telling them all that I have learnt.
