Reflection
This week, I have had the pleasure in attending meetings with other staff from across our Diocese in similar roles to mine. This has been a great opportunity for me to expand my ideas and learn from others, exactly what we ask our students to do each day.
We pray together:
As we go about our day God;
As we strive to walk with Jesus as people of commitment,
open our eyes to our capacity to make a difference.
Open our eyes to the needs of those around us.
May your grace, mercy and peace, bless us, keep us
and transform us all, this day, now and forever.
Amen
