Catholic Life and Reflection

Another week has flown by. St John’s has been a bustling place as it always is.  Year 6 had a class mass. Year 4 worked out the Titanic is as long as our whole playground!  Year 5 continued exploring the Solar System.  Year 3 researched symbols of the Eucharist.  Year 2 learnt about adding and subtracting. Kinder learnt how to spell new words.  Year 1 worked hard on their maths.

The whole school enjoyed dressing up for book week!

Sometimes we all need to remember that even Jesus needed time to rest.  He purposely moved away from crowds, even though they followed him. “What was written animated his life, and when he withdrew, he went to speak to his Father in prayer. At times, he went away by himself, to  be alone (Matthew 14:23; Mark 6:46–47; John 6:15). “He went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God” (Luke 6:12). His disciples saw him leave to pray, and later return.”

It is important to remember that the pace of life is always busy.  Taking time to reflect and slow down is important.  When I ask my class to slow down and recharge I often put on this music. Lauren Daigle is a beautiful Christian singer.  Grab a cuppa and pop on the you tube clip.

I am taking my own advice and keeping this short and sweet this week!

God bless,
