This Eastertide all of us are called to experience the great joy of the Resurrection. A great way to do that is to imagine yourself with Mary outside the tomb of Jesus. And to try to experience the marvellous joy that flooded her whole being at the moment that she recognized Jesus. Try to recognise the importance of Jesus in your own life.
Prayer
Almighty God, who through your only‑begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the death of sin by your life‑giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen.
School Prayer
Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day.
May I live it completely for You,
Through you,
With You and in you. Amen
Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.
Reflection
Think about the person that looks after you? Mum, Dad, Gran, Sister, etc. What do they do to make your life happy, healthy and peaceful that you don’t usually see them do it or even pay attention to them doing it? (making lunch, going to the shops, doing the laundry, smiling when you need encouragement, quizzing you on a spelling test). Now think about the things the Holy Spirit does for you to make your life peaceful, happy and healthy. Think today about how we can show God how thankful we are for the Holy Spirit and those who look after us.
Prayer
Jesus, our brother, thank you for loving us and calling us to follow you. Help us to listen to your Word and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and those who love us. IN your name we pray. Amen
School Prayer

There will be a couple of useful lectures taking place at the University of Stirling for students in Scotland, who wish to pursue a career in medicine. Please could you kindly forward this information on to students, parents and careers advisors. The conferences and lectures are suitable for students in years 10-12 and we also encourage parents to attend if they wish because there is a lot of valuable information for them too such as funding and maintenance costs.

Sometimes when the weather changes and the sun shines we can struggle to concentrate on the task at hand. Help us to be ever mindful of the importance of giving our best efforts to every task set for us here in Cardinal Newman High School. Remind us that we are working hard to improve our chances for all our tomorrows.
The world is charged with the grandeur of God. (Gerard Manley Hopkins) I dwell for a moment on the Presence of God around me, in every part of my body, and deep within my being.
