THE WAY OF THE CROSS - JOURNEYING TO EASTER SUNDAY

Today we marked the beginning of the Easter Tridium with a liturgy in St Helena of the Holy Cross Church.  The liturgy commenced with the washing of the feet, reflecting Jesus' actions as he washed the feet of his disciples on the night of  the Last Supper.  This was followed by a moving and prayerful portrayal of the Stations of the Cross.

Today, Holy Thursday, is also the anniversary of the assassination of Blessed Oscar Romero, our College patron.  Oscar Romero had a deep faith and  believed he had to have the courage to,live his faith in Christ, despite the risks.  He said, 'I do not believe in death without resurrection.  If they kill me I will rise again in the Salvadoran people'.  Today's liturgy reminded us of the Gospel call for social justice and of the importance of us responding to this in our own lives. 

I wish all families a happy and holy Easter.  School resumes on Wednesday 30 March.
