Religious Education news
The Easter Season is a great reminder that Christ died and rose once and for all and for each one of us. His death and resurrection can transform our lives as we endeavour to live lives that know the freedom of goodness – lives that have love for our neighbour, lives that respect all creation, lives that restore hope and mercy.
Prayer
Lord, help us to accept the grace of Christ’s resurrection.
Amen
Let us be renewed by God’s mercy.
Let us know the love of Jesus.
Let us enable the power of his love to transform our lives.
Let us become agents of his mercy, channels through which God can protect all creation and make justice and peace flourish.
Please return all Project Compassion boxes and envelopes to the school office by Friday 12 May or donate online via the Caritas website at lent.caritas.org.au
May the spirit of the Risen Christ be always with you. May you be blessed with the gift of love, the presence of hope and the promise of peace in your lives.
Mother’s Day
This Sunday, we celebrate Mother’s Day – a very special day when we say thank you to our mothers for everything which they have done for us. For some of us, it is a time to remember the past and for others, it is a time to celebrate the future. I am sure that each of us has a very special memory of our mum and some are still creating those memories. For some, we remember with love the memories and special times that our mums shared with us. For all our mums on their special day we honour them. Mothers are the precious treasure troves which remain an important part of one’s life. There are times when we just sit back and think about the times we learnt from our mother, or suddenly after tasting a dish you prepared, you think of how your mother used to prepare it. These are some precious moments that we are reminded of, even after many years. Such reflections never fail to bring a smile to our face. Mothers are such that they become a part of your psyche, as cherished memories.
I wish all our mums a very happy Mother’s Day for Sunday 14 May.
