Today’s challenge is to pray for others.
Dear God,
Thank You that You are loving and forgiving.
Help us to love people in the same way as You have loved us.
Help us do generous things for others because we love You.
Amen.
Lenten Challenges are back! These daily challenges give us an opportunity as a school family to reflect, re-choose and re-shape our lives. Lent gives us the chance to share the concepts of prayer, fasting and almsgiving with our children.

Today’s challenge: If you can, attend the Reconciliation Service taking place on Wednesday 5 April at 7.00pm in St Andrew’s Church. (See you there!)
“This is a great opportunity for us to come together during Lent to acknowledge our sinfulness and celebrate God’s mercy in our lives, both individually and as a community. Fr Tony will lead a short service of Scripture reading, reflection and music. The service will end with individual confessions with one of the five priests available, after which you will be free to leave. A brief Examination of Conscience is offered on the insert in this week’s newsletter to assist in preparing for the Sacrament of Reconciliation.”
This you tube clip is a fantastic way to remind children and adults alike about how to go to Confession:
Today we pray The Hail Mary and ask the Mother of Jesus to give us grace, strength and to protect us.
When you are finished saying the prayer, watch and listen to this beautiful piece of music called ‘Ave Maria’ composed by Franz Schubert. Beautiful!
Today’s challenge: Fast from words and be silent so you can listen. Open your heart to God.
Be quiet. Be still.
Find what friends and family come to mind and listen to what God tells you about them. Think of situations in life and consider the Holy Spirit’s guidance and advice.
Drive or walk to school / work in silence.
Cut back on Facebook, text messaging, technology to make space for God’s voice.
Prayer: Lord, give me the courage to open my heart to you in silence.
Today’s challenge – Be positive, think positive and say positive words only.
For extra challenge you could listen to this beautiful hymn which reminds us to place our trust in God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cc0QVWzCv9k
