Prayer
Lord Jesus,
you conquered death without weapons or violence:
you shattered its power with the strength of peace.
Grant us your peace,
as you did to the women filled with doubt on Easter morning,
as you did to the disciples who were hiding in fear.
Send forth your Spirit,
the breath that gives life and reconciles,
that turns adversaries and enemies into brothers and sisters.
Inspire in us to trust in Mary, your mother,
who stood at the foot of your cross with a broken heart,
firm in the faith that you would rise again.
May the madness of war cease
and the Earth be cared for and cultivated by those who still
know how to bring forth, protect and love life.
Hear us, Lord of life!
This week’s prayer again calls to mind the recent twelve-month anniversary of the election of Pope Leo XIV and the influence for good that his papacy is seeking to have across the world. The prayer above was released during Easter week and provides a profound set of observations on the centrality of peace and reconciliation to the Christian narrative.
SHC Senior School Subject & Pathways Expo
As the parent of a Year 10 student, discussions around subject selection ahead of the VCE years and post-compulsory education pathways are currently a large part of our family life. Ensuring that young people are informed about the various subjects and pathways available to them at Sacred Heart College is essential and helps ensure that decisions made are for the best reasons.
Early next term, the College will hold its Senior School Subject and Careers Expo on Wednesday 22 July from 4.00 – 7.00pm. It is designed to support these important decisions by students and families and will include information and expert advice from both internal and external providers. The evening will include talks and displays on VCE pathways as well as those through VCE Vocational Major; it will also showcase a number of tertiary institutions and employers such as Victoria Police and the Australian Defence Forces.
