The RE department would like to wish all of our pupils, parents and colleagues a joyful Easter! As the young people have been learning in class, the resurrection is the miracle of miracles- the central belief of Christianity because, if it is true, then Jesus really is the Son of God and he really has defeated sin and death. S1 have studied the account of the Holy Women in Mark’s gospel, S2 are studying Luke’s account and examining the various ’empty tomb theories’ and S3 are focusing on the road to Emmaus, covering the post resurrection appearances. So happy Easter! And remember that Easter continues for fifty days- longer than Lent!
It is with this hope of the resurrection that we heard the news of the death of Pope Francis. As the funeral Mass says, ‘life is changed, not ended’ and so we commend Francis’ soul to the mercy of God as his life finds it’s fulfillment. Our Friday prayers that week were led by Miss Morrison and the CREDO club who guided us through a service, praying for the Pope.
