In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Many families are relearning how to be a stronger family these days.

Think about all he people who care for you, your family and your friends…

Next Sunday we will celebrate Mother's Day.

Let's pray for our Mothers, our families, and all our caregivers:

Lord in our home help us to:

encourage one another,

build up one another,

be at peace with each other,

do good for each other

have fun with one another

give thanks for each other

pray for one another

In our Home

we are family.

Bless our homes and our families in and outside of school, in Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.

Mary, our heavenly mother, pray for our families:

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

High School:

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

This month we are reflecting on being caring family members. Next Sunday we will celebrate Mother's Day. Pandemic isolation can be hard on a family.

Listen to this description of our families when we are at our best.

This reflection is called:

In Our Home…

In our Home:

We encourage one another,

We build up one another,

We are at peace with each other,

We seek to do good,

We rejoice,

We give thanks,

We pray constantly,

In our Home.

We grow up, leaving home at some point, and move into the world.

Mother Teresa gives voice to our responsibility for embracing the gift of our life:

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.

Life is beauty, admire it.

Life is a dream, realize it.

Life is a challenge, meet it.

Life is a duty, complete it.

Life is a game, play it.

Life is a promise, fulfill it.

Life is sorrow, overcome it.

Life is a song, sing it.

Life is a struggle, accept it.

Life is a tragedy, confront it.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

Life is luck, make it.

Life is too precious, do not destroy it.

Life is life, fight for it.

We honour our heavenly Mother Mary as we prayer:

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
