Our first mass as a community is in celebration of our new school year. During this morning’s celebration, we ask that you take time to pause and to be mindful of each other. We ask God’s blessing on our school and our school’s work, our students and teachers, our parents and friends, our sports and activities, and on everything that is part of our school, family and community life.
We begin today by hearing Jesus’ invitation to love and to respect each other. He has told us ‘I am the love to be loved, I am the life to be shared, I am the truth to be told, I am the light to be lit, I am the peace to be given’. May we share this love, life, joy, truth, light and peace with each other today and throughout the coming year.
God’s Blessing on the Academic Year
“The future depends on what we do in the present”. – Mahatma Ghandi
St. Teresa of Avila (1515–1582)
Christ Has No Body
Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no body now but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.
We are blessed to have Father Pierre Ducharme join us today to con-celebrate the mass with our chaplin, Father Smith. Father Ducharme was a member of our 1991 graduating class.
