“God’s first call is to life, through which He makes us persons; it is an individual call because God does not make things in sets. Then God calls us to faith and to become part of His family as children of God.” Pope Francis

Yesterday St Mary’s staff travelled to Tullibigeal to join with Lake Cargelligo and Grenfell schools for our Spirituality Day. Our focus for the day was Flourishing, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” John 10:10 where we analysed, discussed, and reflected on God’s plan for us to flourish. With such a busy term ahead, it was highly beneficial to take this time out to focus on the central reason of why we are here, that being LOVE. Love of God, self, others, and creation.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Gospel John 1: 1-5
