Principal's Message

Dear Parents and Friends,
As you are aware, this term we introduced the practice of Christian Meditation, in the tradition John Main and the World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM), to the students and staff at St Brigid's. 

Meditation is a universal spiritual wisdom and a practice found at the core of all the great religious traditions, particularly Benedictine spirituality, which is the charism of our school.  It leads us from mind to heart and to the integration of these two centres of human being.

The two doves on a chalice is the WCCM's symbol. It is a universal expression of the union of contemplation and action. A very ancient text describes them as 'two sweet friends' and the same idea is found in the story of Martha and Mary in the Gospel. Meditation in daily life is the heart of the WCCM Community: the experience of Being as the foundation of all Action.

The students and staff are building their capacity for silence and stillness in the simplicity of this practice, as they meditate with the word maranatha.  

 

“Heavenly Father, open our hearts to the silent presence of the spirit of your Son. Lead us into that mysterious silence where your love is revealed to all who call, ‘Maranatha…Come, Lord Jesus”. WCCM Meditation Opening Prayer

 

Yours in Faith, Justice and Learning
