Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time 2024 Year B
Last Sunday we celebrated in our Parish, Holy Mass for our Youth. Many boys and girls positively attended. Well-done and thank you to the parents for encouraging them.
Our reflection and meditation was about SERVICE and understanding the true meaning of serving the Lord.
Remember once again, you are not only holders of the candle, but you are also evangelizers. You are not only reading the bible, but you are also proclaiming it.
I want to send a message to all our youth and children at the start of the new school year.
How should I approach the school year of 2024/2025?
Examine and reflect on your holiday, did it refresh your mind? Did you benefit from new ideas? I hope and believe your mind was recharged with new perspectives, which have prepared you for going back to school and college. Do not worry about starting back, as your teachers will support you to be successful.
You should all be inspired, motivated and encouraged to be curious and to develop a love of learning.
You will meet new teachers who will support you in gaining knowledge and wisdom in a safe environment, where your learning will be both exciting and adventuresin and out of the classroom. You will also make new friends.
Our Catholic Schools always start the day with 10-15 minutes of prayer and worship. This is amazing and brings Christ Jesus to the centre of the school day. Remember the disciples called Jesus their Master. Your TEACHER is on your side, and you can trust him/her.
Be delighted to go to school and learn. Do your best to achieve and be successful. If you study seriously, you will surprise yourself with how well you can do.
Families encourage and support your children more than ever. Remember, home is the first school. This approach will give your children the best possible start to their education.
