Gospel Reflection - Matthew 10:26-33

As we navigate our journey through life, we often encounter moments of uncertainty, doubt, and fear. In such challenging times, finding solace and strength in our faith can provide us with the courage to persevere and overcome obstacles. In last Sunday's Gospel, we draw inspiration from a passage in the Gospel of Matthew, specifically verses 10:26-33, which offer guidance and reassurance in times of adversity.
One of the messages of Jesus to his disciples and, through him, of Matthew to the original community is to have courage and to have pride in their belief. No matter what threat or persecution they are to endure, the command is to proclaim the message of Jesus from the house-tops. They are to be proud of what they believe and be prepared to share it with others. In a world today that is not always open to the message of Jesus, we too are called to be proud of what we believe and not whisper it in the darkness.
As we head into the holidays, let us strive to deepen our faith, support one another, and approach every challenge with the unwavering belief that God walks beside us. May these teachings empower us to be agents of love, kindness, and compassion in our school community and beyond.

I hope the holiday period is a special time with your family.
Thank you for all your support this term.
Wishing you all a safe and restful school holiday break.
Please remember the families of our school community who need special prayers.
