Visiting Christ

We looked ahead this week to the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B) and the motivating example of Jesus.  He insists to his disciples, "Let us go!"  Rather than enjoying an easier, quieter and more comfortable life, he travels to towns (near and far) preaching and healing.

In the same vein, we are encouraged to model our lives on this example.  We must be courageous in stepping outside of our comfort zones - in our learning and relationships - to bring the Good News of Jesus to all we meet.  

We have been challenging the children this week to reach out to make new friends, to take risks in learning and to embrace opportunities to try something new.  Having the courage to go beyond our normal limits - taking healthy risks - is a quality we want to foster in our children.
