13th May, 2014 Reflection The Good Shepherd, who willingly died for his flock, is risen. He is the gateway; through and with Him is found life and growth - life to the full. In memory of Jesus we are called to live and love as he did, to take up our cross daily in acts of unconditional love. In relationship with God we can experience love and recognise each opportunity to draw closer to God, to experience the joy of faith that we can share with others. Compassionate God, through the life, death and Resurrection of your Son Jesus, you have given us a new life. Help us then to witness to your teachings and so, like the Good Shepherd, love unconditionally. Amen
The month of May
Trade Training Centre
I hope all mothers in the community had a lovely day on Sunday with family gatherings for Mothers Day.
It is great to see the TTC in use by VCAL students this term.
The Church remembers Mary, mother of Jesus during May each year, and her modelling of Christian living and sacrifice is one we could all learn from.
Fr O'Reilly will be blessing the TTC later this month.
For our school term, we are well into our work, both staff and students, with NAPLAN, sports events and crucial SACs at VCE level. Students will cope well in May if they have a balanced life with adequate sleep and healthy nutrition. Many families no doubt have schedules around school/ sport or dance/ homework etc for their children and I commend that. I hope you are enjoying Melbourne's autumn and keep well as we approach winter.
