Introduction

Goodness is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Goodness is when we do good things to the
people around us, like helping an old woman to cross the pedestrian lane. God is our idol when it comes
to goodness. When I say God is good you will say all the time, when I say all the time you will say God is
good. God is really good in our life, that’s why He has a good plan to each every one of us. He has a very
good heart to love us so much. He gave us our parents to take care for us. He gave us a school to learn
and He gave us everything for our own good.
Goodness is somehow related to kindness, most of us are always doing it and it is always the first thing
to do. God wants us to be a good person and try to apply it to our life so that many people will see that
God is really good. When we always try to do good things to others we simply become more like Jesus
because through the works of Jesus we will see goodness, example:

 The Story of the 5 fish and the 7 loaves

He never allows the people who followed Him in the mountain, to be hungry and lonely.
He is always concern in our needs and He grants our prayers unselfishly.
 Jesus performs miracles and healings
He is always there to help us in our problems, when we are hopeless He is there to
perform miracles and healings for us to believe that there is always a hope in Him.
 Jesus sent the 12 disciples
The disciples are afraid of going alone without Jesus, when Jesus died and taken up to
heaven He sent down the Holy Spirit to guide the disciples here on earth. It’s the same
to us The Holy Spirit protect and guide us always.

Processing

Goodness is when you try to do more than what you can do with what you have; it’s an extra miler,
during our activity we used different things that you had in the box with a different purpose to make a
skit or play. For example we used the shoe lace as belt- that is thinking out of the box. We can also apply
in our daily lives, for example if you do not know how to dance at least you try your best to learn. Being
good is using our talents and abilities to be use for His glory. Our God deserves only the best. As children
of God we are created in His image and likeness and every day we need to try to be like our good God.

Processing

Once we pray to God we are connecting to our God and His mercy and goodness is flowing to us.
Let’s continue to be a tower always connected to the source. Once we are connected it is our time to
share an act of goodness to others, by helping our parents and being helpful to others.

Closing Prayer

Lord, we thank you for the good thing that you planned in our life, we thank you for your
goodness to us and for all the blessings that you gave to us every day. Thank you for the things that we
learned this day may we apply it in our life. Help us to obey and follow you always. Help us Lord to be
more like you each day. Amen

Mahal naming mga Magulang,

Pagbati mula kay Kristo!

Noong nakaraang buwan tinuruan po namin ang inyong anak tungkol sa pagiging mahinahon. Ngayong
buwan ay tuturuan naman po namin sila tungkol sa pagging mabuting bata. Noong nakaraang kwaresma
ating nakita at naalalang muli ang kabutihan ng Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng buhay ni Kristo. Sa
pamamagitan ng mga Gawain na aming inihanda ngayong buwan, kami po ay umaasa na matutunan po
ng mga bata ang pagiging mabuti sa lahat ng pagkakataon upang sila ay masanay at maisabuhay ang
kabutihan na ipinagkaloob satin ng Panginoon.

Ang kabutihan at ang kahalagahan nito ay hindi mahirap na ituro sa inyong mga anak. Narito ang ilang
mga mungkahi na maaaring makatulong sa inyo upang maituro sa inyong mga anak ang kahalagahan ng
kabutihang loob:

1. Maging huwaran ehemplo. Ang pinakamahusay na paraan upang maturuan ang inyong mga
anak ng kabutihang loob ay hindi lamang sa pamamagitan ng pagpapaliwanag sa kanila, ngunit
ito rin ay maipapakita sa pamamagitan ng inyong mga salita at gawa.

2. Hayaan silang Matuklasan ang kanilang kabutihang loob. Kung silay gumagawa ng mabuti
himukin silang gawin ito araw araw sa lahat ng pagkakataon, kung sila naman ay gumagawa ng
hindi mabuti himukin silang gumawa ng mabuti sa maayos na paraan, huwag silang pagalitan.

3. BIgyan sila ng panahon. Makakabuti sa mga bata kung pupurihin natin sila tuwing nakakagawa
sila ng mabuti, at bigyan natin sila ng atensiyon upang mas matuto sila at mahikayat na gumawa
ng mabuti.

Ang mga ito ay ilan lamang sa mga halimbawa kung papaano ninyo maaaring ituro sa inyong mga
anak ang kahalagahan ng kabutihang loob. Umaasa kami na ang inyong anak / mga anak ay
magpatuloy na lumaki bilang isang mabuting Kristyano sa pamamagitan ng pagiging mabuti at
pagpapakita ng kabutihan sa kapwa. Tayo’y magtulungan sa pagdadala ng plano ng Diyos para sa
inyong mga anak.

Maraming Salamat po.

An Inyong Kapatid kay Kristo sa pamamagitan ni Maria,

KFL Team

Dear Parents,

Greetings in Christ!

Last month we taught them the virtue of gentleness. This month our activity is all about
goodness and it is the very basic virtue that most kid must learn nowadays. During the Lenten
season, many of us saw the goodness of Jesus through His passion. We want that to relay in
each every kid so that they become aware that Jesus planted in our heart the seed of goodness
so that they may grow like Christ.

It’s not difficult to teach your children to be good. Here are some suggestions in teaching
your kids the virtue of goodness.

1. Model An Act of Goodness. Kids must always see the goodness first in us, so that they
can imitate us. Showing them how to do it and share it is the best way to learn it.

2. Allow them to explore the goodness inside them. If they are doing good encourage them
to be good always, if they are doing not so good encourage them to do it excellently. If they
have low grades don’t get mad about it, instead encourage and teach them.

3. Reward an act of goodness they did. Kids love attention: so shower them with it, when
they’ve done good things. Instead of just scolding them for not sharing or being rough with
another child, make a fuss when they do share or give.

These are just some examples on how we you can teach your children the virtue of
goodness. We hope that your child/dren will continue to become a Good Christian. Let us work
together in bringing God’s plan to you r children.

May the good Lord bless you and your family!

In Christ through Mary,

KFL Team
