Faithfulness

Fruit of the Holy Spirit

Faithfulness

Faithfulness means being true to God. It also means that I also stand up to what is right, I am a loyal and trustworthy friend.

How can parents encourage this fruit in their children?

• God is faithful, be faithful to this relationship with God. Make time every day to pray. You may even listen to worship songs or read the Bible or watch films which help you get to know God better.

• If you make a commitment with friends or said that you will take part in some activity, or you have committed yourself to learning some sport or musical instrument, keep your promises.

Prayer

Holy Spirit, help me do what God wishes me to do. Help me, so that I remain faithful to promises that I make. Amen

Hero

Saint Maria Goretti

Maria Goretti loved God so much that she preferred to die rather than to sin. She stayed strong and firm when faced with temptation, and this shows us how much she truly loved Jesus! 

In the simplicity of her life as a young girl, Saint Maria Goretti has a life lesson to share with us. Resisting temptation and making the right choices is the biggest challenge a Christian can face. 

Living it!

  • Use gentle and loving words when speaking
  • Do not raise your voice, avoid name calling
  • See that your pets have food and water, be gentle with them too
