Prayer and Reflection

Prayer

Lord we pray for the ability to be gentle; 

the power to be forgiving; the patience to be understanding. 

Father may we place our trust in the power of goodness to overcome evil and the power of love to overcome hatred. 

Lord we pray for the faith to believe in a world free from violence, a new world in which fear shall no longer lead men or women to commit injustice, nor a world where selfishness makes them bring suffering upon others. 

Help us to offer our lives to the task of making peace. We ask this in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace. 

Amen

Our Lady of the Rosary. Pray for us.

St Dominic. Pray for us.

Blessed Edmund Rice. Pray for us.

Remembrance Day

On 11 November 1918, German leaders signed an Armistice bringing an end to the First World War. The guns of the Western Front fell silent after four years of continuous warfare. In the four years more than 330,000 Australians served overseas with over 60,000 dying. Each year on 11 November, Australians observe one minute’s silence at 11am, in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts. Although Remembrance Day was different this year, the College commemorated with the Ode of Remembrance, played the Last Post and observed a minute's silence. 

Condolences

Our thoughts and prayers are with Maeve Galvin and her family after the passing of her grandmother.  To Tahl Handsley and to Sabian, Kaydence, Zahn and Jake Larkham and their families after the passing of their respective grandfathers. To Nicholas Mahony and to his family after the passing of his uncle.
