Sunday Gospel Reading: 24th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Matthew 18:21-35 - Jesus teaches about forgiveness:
In this weekend’s Gospel, we read about Jesus teaching the disciples how to handle disputes and conflict within the Christian community.
Peter asked Jesus how many times one ought to extend forgiveness to another. Peter thought seven.
Jesus replied by extending Peter's proposal by an enormous amount; not just seven times should one forgive, but 77 x7 times. In this parable of the unforgiving servant, we learn that we should always forgive no matter what the circumstances. When we truly forgive others we discover happiness.
R U OK DAY 2020 -#Lismmeditates Project
Our school acknowledged the RUOK Day, a national day of action dedicated to reminding everyone that every day is the day to ask, “Are you ok?” and support those struggling with life and its ups and downs. R U OK Day provides the perfect opportunity for us to reflect on the stigma of mental health and through Christian Meditation, pray for those whose lives are touched by Mental Health.
Bishop Greg has encouraged the practice of Christian Meditation in Catholic schools within the Lismore Diocese. Meditation in the Christian tradition is often called the prayer of the heart. Students of all ages embrace this form of prayer, it is the teaching of stillness and silence within each person. There are many benefits to Christian meditation. It’s a wonderful way to renew your mind, quiet your soul and be refreshed and inspired by the presence of God
