The spirit and legacy of Catherine McAuley’s story
7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,840
continues to resonate in the hearts of like minded
8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,560
women and men across the Archdiocese.
9
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,000
Here at St John Fisher College,
10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,440
we strive to live out the values of
Catherine and the Sisters of Mercy
11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,880
who tied on their boots and focused
12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,880
on a mercy in action approach.
13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,040
As we start a new year of education and learning,
14
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,520
we look to her and the Mercy tradition
15
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,280
to kindle our spirit within.
16
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,760
We encourage all students and staff across the Archdiocese
17
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,280
to tie up their boots
18
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,360
and prepare themselves for a wonderful year of learning.
19
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:51,280
And so we pray today,
20
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,480
in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
21
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,400
Merciful God,
22
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,560
encourage us
23
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,440
as we are called to continue Catherine’s vision
24
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,880
and the mission of Jesus in the twenty-first century.
25
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,920
Teach us to respond to the call
26
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,840
and the needs of our communities
27
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,280
as we walk on the same path Jesus trod.
28
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,680
Help us to listen with our hearts as well as our ears
29
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,400
and may our hands reach out to be of God’s work.
30
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,240
Bless us with a merciful response
31
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,280
to our educational communities
32
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,960
as they awaken the courage within all of us
33
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:28,400
to address the ever-changing challenges
34
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,440
and embrace the joy within our schools.
35
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,520
May we be instruments of your peace.
36
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,640
Amen.
37
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,720
In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
