ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM MESSAGE

As we journey toward Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter, the holiest feast of the Catholic Church, we are reminded that we are an Easter People. During this month we continue on our Lenten journey and prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. His victory over death brings us great joy and enables us to open up our hearts for God’s goodness to grow in them. With open minds and hearts, we are ready to receive the gifts that God constantly offers to us.

How many of us know Jesus but are so caught up in our own lives that we do not recognize his presence in the tremendous opportunities that we experience each day? Let us make every effort to take a long, loving look at the ordinary aspects of our lives; and to see Christ in all. At Good Shepherd Catholic School we hope to use the month of April to reflect upon Christ’s teachings and the Gospel messages of love, by bringing these messages to life through our actions. We can make a difference in our family, our school and our world by turning our hearts and lives towards peace and joy. In doing so, we become Christ’s hands and heart. Let us remember that Easter is about openness; opening to life, to light, to change and most of all, opening ourselves to the joy and awe of the Resurrection.

Matthew reminds us of Jesus’ words… “and look, I am with you always; yes, to the end of time”. We ask Him to keep us ever mindful of how he is a part of our lives in very deep and profound ways as we pray:

“Surprise me with a touch of your love in places where I never thought I would find you. Fill my heart with hope. May the gift of your presence transform every ordinary moment of mine into a sacred place where you dwell. Help me to see these gifts through eyes of faith. Fill me with your peace. Amen”.
