Lent is an opportunity to try and live life more simply.  The following words from Mother Theresa of Calcutta can assist in helping us get our priorities right:

Prayer:

Take time to ...

Take time to think, it is the source of power;

Take time to play, it is the secret of perpetual youth;

Take time to read, it is the fountain of wisdom.

Take time to pray, it is the greatest power on earth.

Take time to be friendly, it is the road to happiness.

Take time to laugh, it is the music of the soul;

Take time to give, it is too short a day to be selfish.

Take time to work, it is the price of success.

Take time to do charity, it is the key to heaven.

Take time to love and be loved, it is a God given privilege.

Mother Theresa of Calcutta

Almsgiving

This term the St. Michael’s school community will be almsgiving during Lent. Each class has a Project Compassion box. Remember, this money raised will go directly to Caritas Australia’s work in supporting the Indigenous people of the Philippines.

St Michael’s are always so generous in supporting others less fortunate. Thank you.

Later this term our Mini Vinnies will be holding a before school café where hot cross buns, milos, tea and coffee will be served. Hope you will be able to join us.
