What Students are Learning About

Father Chung visited Year One on Thursday. They talked about prayer. Year One loved having a special visit from Father Chung.

Catholic Life and Reflection

There are times when I can really relate to the story of Jesus calming the storm. Essentially, the disciples are freaking out. Jesus is asleep at the wheel, so to speak. When he wakes, He tells the storm to settle. “Be Still!”. 

Mark 4:35-41

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Jesus Stills a Storm

³⁹ He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm.

When life is a little crazy, I cling to this story.  I desperately try to follow the instruction “Be Still!” Between, full time work, cooking dinners, piano lessons, washing, taking care of kids and try to get a good night’s sleep there seems very little time for stillness…I am committing to finding some stillness this week.  I hope you do too.

Maybe a few moments in the car with no radio on, a cup of tea on the back verandah, or a quiet prayer before I get out of bed. 

This song is titled Stillness.  I used it with staff last year when we were reflecting on stillness and connection to country.

God bless,
