This Thursday it was the Feast of the Assumption of Mary.

The staff and students gathered to give thanks and praise for Mary’s grace-filled and blessed life and to honour her assumption into Heaven. In the gospel, we heard Elizabeth proclaim that Mary was blessed because she believed with deep trust that the promise made to her by God would come about.

It is a reminder to each of us to put our trust in God who promises to be with us as we journey through life. We are called to make room for God in our lives and so become fully human and alive; more deeply the person God has called us to be.
