Lord God,

We tremble to think

That it was one of Jesus’ own friends who betrayed

him.

One who sat by him, who broke bread with him.

Give us strength, we pray,

To walk faithfully with Jesus,

Even when the road we walk is rocky

Even when the message of the cross seems like

foolishness

And even when we feel betrayed.

You, Lord, are always faithful.

We stumble, we become lost,

But you are steady and sure.

Give us the grace to endure our troubles,

And reveal to us the glory of your kingdom,

Through your son, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Holy Week

Holy Week marks the final week of the season of Lent and it recounts the final days of Christ's life, as well as his death, burial, and resurrection. In the early developments of this tradition, Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday and concludes with the celebration of Jesus Christ's Resurrection on Easter Sunday.

Project Compassion

Over the 5 Weeks of Lent, many children and teachers at St Mary’s have decided to donate ‘spare’ money that they have to Caritas Australia. As an international aid and development agency of the Australian Catholic Church, Caritas Australia works with the most vulnerable communities around the world to eradicate poverty and injustice. 

It is pleasing to announce that we have raised $657 to donate to this exceptional charity. As Hamish in 3E remarked; “This is enough money to buy a tank that will provide fresh water to a village in Tanzania”. 

Well done everyone!
