Gospel Reflection - Mark 10:35-45
In last Sunday’s Gospel, the two brothers, James and John, wanted to be seated by Jesus. What they were saying was that they should have a special position, being His apostles. They were asking to be held in high regard. Jesus, however, taught them—and us—that we are all called to serve, not to seek praise or recognition. Even Jesus came to serve, not to be served. It’s a challenging message, but service to others, without expecting recognition, is what we are called to do for everyone, both friends and strangers alike. May we embrace this lesson and strive to follow Him more closely each day.

World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2024
This year, the World Day of Migrants and Refugees 2024 was celebrated on Sunday, 29 September. Pope Francis chose the theme, “God walks with His people,” reminding us of God’s presence alongside those who are displaced and journeying in search of safety and hope. On this special day, we reflect on the invaluable contributions of migrants and refugees to our communities. As a school that celebrates diversity, we stand in solidarity with those who have left their homes seeking safety, opportunity, and hope. Let us continue to foster a welcoming environment, embracing each person with compassion and respect, inspired by the words of St Francis of Assisi: "It is in giving that we receive."

We keep in our thoughts and prayers all families affected by conflict overseas. May Christ's love bring them comfort, strength, and peace during these challenging times.
