TIME IN ADORATION,
A PRESCHOOL EXCLAMATION,
DAMIEN'S FOOD COLLECTION,
&
FRIDAY STATIONS!
Our week began with our monthly visit from the Maronite sisters, and this time, Mother Marla Marie came without her Sister companions! Our students had time for silent prayer and the opportunity to reflect on the season of Lent, as well as a a few of the psalms. Mother explained that she has been praying the psalms since she was a child, and made mention that Psalm 23, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want," is one of her all time favorites. Students were encouraged to pray the psalms, and most especially during this Holy Season. After our preschoolers had the chance to spend time in Adoration, one particular four year old held up his wonderfully artistic creation for me to see and exclaimed, with rather interesting phonetic pronunciation,
"This is the monster-ince for Adoration!"
He was so proud... as was I!
As always, whatever the "ask" may be, the generosity of this school community is heartwarming. Throughout the week, items streamed in steadily for donation to Damien's pantry and were checked, sorted, and packaged today, for delivery next week. Thank you for your willingness, not only to give to those less fortunate than ourselves, but also to instill in your children a sense of giving alms and service as we journey through Lent.
Finally our Friday arrived, and we were able to participate in a "spiritual journey" around the gym, pausing at the fourteen stations that depict Christ's Journey to Calvary. Our students seemed to enjoy praying this Catholic devotion and tradition, and will do so in the coming Friday's as well!
Have a wonderful weekend!
