Blessed are you, Lord, for the glories of Spring.
The World bursts with the signs of resurrection;
Flowers stir in their winter beds, poking through the last traces of snow.
The sun drenches us with its warmth, stirring the hidden and waiting life within
the earth, within us.
The world awakening reflects the movement of my heart and I am
touched in the depths of my spirit.
Art work is the power of your hands, the Spirit of drawing life from things both old
and new.

To be praised are you, Lord
for the blessings of Spring.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This month we will celebrate the
virtue of love.
God sent his Son, Jesus, to make
sure that we could see what life
could be like.
Jesus made one lesson clear above
all other lessons – the lesson to
love. Love is not about us – it is
about forgetting ourselves and
looking out for the good of the
other. That’s what Jesus did – he
forgot about himself on purpose.
He chose to give up his life for the
good of others – us!
Becoming a truly loving person is
challenging. It takes prayer and
concentration to get used to
making little sacrifices for the
good of others. Making little
sacrifices on purpose so that
others will have a bit of food, a bit
of shelter, a bit of peace, a bit of
quiet, a bit of fun, a bit of
friendship.
Through
prayer
and
concentration, we can get better
at showing love to everyone we
meet.
