3rd Week of Easter

Prayer Reflection:

Dear God,

Our world is hurting and broken. We pray for those who have lost loved ones this week, please comfort them and their broken hearts from loss, cover them with your peace and presence, as only your Spirit can do. We know that in whatever we face, you are our peace and saviour, a very present help in times of trouble.

Amen

Chiara M (3 Green)

This week, I thought I would showcase what the Easter Season means to some of the students of Mary Immaculate. Pope Francis reminds us on his Twitter feed (Yes, he does have Twitter), that "Easter brings us this message: the message of rebirth. We can be reborn with the same strength that raised up the Lord: with the strength of God".  Chiara’s prayer highlights how we do this by lifting up our hearts with love and belief in God in such troubled times. Our students show us what it means to love God through the sharing of prayer; symbols of Easter and recounting the Easter story.

Why not celebrate the Easter Season with your children for the next couple of weeks through prayer, the gospel or a fun family activity. There is a great site for children that has 50 activities to celebrate everyday of this Easter Season. Why not give it a try?

Praying the Rosary throughout May

In our Catholic faith, the month of May is traditionally devoted to Mary.

Pope Francis has asked Catholics to make a special effort in May to pray the Rosary, knowing that by doing so they will be united with believers around the world asking for Mary’s intercession in stopping the coronavirus pandemic.
