Project Compassion Week 2

During this second week of Lent, Caritas Australia shares the story of Tereesa from Australia who struggled with homelessness while raising her four children. She was able to reconnect with her culture and create a better future for her children with the assistance of the Baabayn Young Mums and Bubs Group.

Tereesa shares her story in the video below:

As a community, we can support Tereesa and other people in her situation by making donations to Caritas Australia through the Project Compassion boxes in each Learning Community. 

Lent Prayer for Strength and Protection

Lord God, heavenly Father,

 you know that we are set in the midst 

of so many and great dangers, 

that by reason of the frailty of our nature 

we cannot always stand upright: 

Grant us such strength and protection, 

to support us in all danger, 

and carry us through all temptations; 

through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Amen.

In the words of St Teresa of Calcutta:

"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things, with great love."
