March 30th Newsletter

Dear Parents,

Even while Jesus was suffering he found time to teach and comfort others. We know that Jesus suffered and died to atone for our sins and while enduring His sufferings for us He taught the people how to live as a true Disciples of God. He taught us how to be loving, patient, kind, humble, pure of heart, and merciful. These are just a few of the many ways that we His people should be examples to others.

Let us ask ourselves...do we take the time to comfort others even when we might be suffering? Do we try to be examples of Christ in our daily lives? Lord Jesus help us to be like you and spread your mission to all who we encounter.

Quote from Pope Francis:

"The peace that springs from faith is a gift;it is the grace of feeling that God loves us and that He is always beside us."

Faithfully yours,

Miss Giaquinto
