Principal's Message

Dear Parents and friends,

Emmanuel! God is with us.

This is the prayer of Advent. Last weekend we celebrated the beginning of the Church’s liturgical year with the commencement of Advent. This Advent, we reflect on the voices that challenge us. The empty crib reminds us that Advent is a season of anticipation and expectation. It is also a stark reminder of the emptiness that fills the lives and hearts of many people. We are challenged to bring Christ to today’s world and to be good news for all.images.png

Advent is a time when we are challenged to listen to the Voice of God, a choice that questions what it is to wait for and with another person, to wait for and with God. The voice of God challenges us to reflect on and examine the nature of HOPE.

  • Who is it that brings hope to your world?
  • What is the voice of God challenging you to do today?
  • Who are the people without hope, without happiness, without a future?
Below is an Ignatian Imaginative Prayer Exercise for the first week of Advent. The video and prayer for the First Week of Advent, Cycle A, is based on Isaiah 2:1-5 “The mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established as the highest mountain.” Find a few quiet moments to engage in this prayer exercise. 
  

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
 

Yours in Faith, Justice and Learning
