Pope Francis tweeted on the 8 August 2022 regarding the feast of St Mary MacKillop of the Cross: <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Reviving a dialogue happens not with words, but with silence; not by insisting, but by patiently beginning anew to patiently listen to another person, hearing about their struggles and what they carry inside. The healing of the heart begins with listening.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is through the silence and then the listening that we open ourselves to hear others. Often, we want to fill the silence with a response or a comment. Let us be open to hearing from others and being present for them in the everyday events of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Feast of the Assumption is one of the most important feast days of the year and is a Holy Day of Obligation for Catholics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mass will not be celebrated at the College. All students are encouraged to attend Mass in their own parishes.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Prayer for Year 12 students<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\n

God, we ask that our Year 12 Sisters feel your presence with them as they prepare for and complete their Remote Learning examinations.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Give them calm hearts and quiet confidence in the knowledge that you hold them in the palm of your hand.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Bless them with a keen understanding of what they have learnt.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Give them the ability to be exact in their explanations and an ability to express themselves clearly.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Holy Spirit send them your gifts of wisdom and knowledge.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

We ask this through Christ our Lord,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Amen.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
