Principal's Corner
Dear families,

Happy Easter! He has risen and has conquered the darkness. He has opened the gates of Heaven through His death and resurrection. God’s love knows no bounds. For God so loved the world that he gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16   Pope Francis spoke about the One and LIVING God in his Easter homily. He stated that we needed to look for Him in the living, not in the tomb. We should look for Him in the faces and eyes of our brothers and sisters. Imagine a world of peace and love if we put these words into action! Let’s do our part and put God and Jesus in our daily lives.
   
“That is what we are called to do: to experience the risen Christ and to share the experience with others; to roll away the stone from the tomb where we may have enclosed the Lord, in order to spread his joy in the world. Let us make Jesus, the Living One, rise again from all those tombs in which we have sealed Him. Let us set Him free from the narrow cells in which we have so often imprisoned Him. Let us awaken from our peaceful slumber and let Him disturb and inconvenience us. Let us bring Him into our everyday lives: through gestures of peace in these days marked by the horrors of war, through acts of reconciliation amid broken relationships, acts of compassion towards those in need, acts of justice amid situations of inequality and of truth in the midst of lies. And above all, through works of love and fraternity.” Pope Francis, 2022
