Making Jesus Real – Week 9 Term 4

Our focus this week is particularly, important as we conclude our school year:

THANKFULNESS

At Assembly on Monday, we thought about the many things we are grateful for over this past year – our friends, our teacher, our families and our wonderful school. 

On Thursday morning, we will give thanks as a school community for the gift of this year, with all its blessings, and especially the gift our Year 6 students.  We hope that our community will come along to celebrate Mass with us at 9am. 

ADVENT

The third Advent Wreath Candle which will be lit on Sunday (Gaudete Sunday), is known as the Joy Candle.  The word Gaudete means “rejoice” in Latin. 

The spirit of joy that begins this week comes from the words of St Paul, “The Lord is near.”  This joyful spirit is marked by the colour of the third candle which is rose pink.

God our Father, we thank you for this time of joyful waiting. May the hope and joy of this season fill our hearts and make us living signs of your love for a world that hungers for your

peace.
