Reflection

Nazareth Day

Today, Thursday 24 August 2023 is Nazareth Day. It has been a wonderful celebration of who we; a vibrant and culturally diverse College Community with a key focus on Faith, Wisdom and Knowledge, and plenty of fun activities to enjoy.

Our College is named after The Holy Family of Nazareth - Jesus, Mary and Joseph. We look to them for inspiration. 

Joseph was a righteous man in the way he lived his life. May we also be righteous in the way we live our lives and always treat others justly. Joseph was protector of the Holy Family. May we be people of prayer to ask for God’s protection for our families and may we strive to do our best to support and protect our families.

Mary said ‘yes’ to God’s will. May we be always open to what God wants of us. Mary was a person of great faith, despite the uncertainty and the challenges. May we be people of faith despite the difficulties we may be facing in our lives.

Jesus grew up with loving parents, who were great witness to God’s love. Jesus spread the message of his Father’s love through word and deed. May we always be loving in the way we treat each other and witnesses to God’s love.

The Holy Family were always attentive to the will of God through prayer. May all of us always be people of prayer. May we pray for those in our College Community who are struggling with difficult challenges. May they reach out to others for help and may people reach out to them to meet their needs. By helping and supporting each other may we spread the message of Jesus’ love throughout our families and our College community.

Holy Family of Nazareth – Be our inspiration and our guide.

Jesus of Nazareth – Help us to grow in faith, wisdom and knowledge.
