Welcome to the end of Week 6!  Our 2 Magpies led us on assembly this morning on Sorry Day.  On this important day of commemoration, the Magpies invited us to reflect on the millions of footprints that traveled the Dreaming pathways and to give thanks for their wisdom and knowledge. They prayed that we might rise up and walk together in a spirit of reconciliation and unity, recognising and valuing each other.

The end of this week has seen me attend TCE’s annual APRE gathering, this year taking part in ACU’s ‘Spiritus’ course.  The purpose of this course has been to work on new evangelisation in bringing God’s Spirit to life in the world so as to build a new humanity characterised by justice, mercy, freedom and compassion.  As a group, we have been tasked with bringing this alive in our school communities and to inspire the young people to take the Gospel into the world and to foster a world of hope.  

I’d like to leave you with a quote that I’ve picked up during this course, which St Augustine penned on the search for God -

 “You were within me - but I was outside”. 

 My prayer for you, in the busy-ness of the weekend, is to be able find time and take a moment to find God within you. 

Pax,

Nick
