If you heard Fr. Lou this weekend (and maybe the others said the same), his homily focused on repentance and forgiveness. As Fr. Lou mentioned, I too have heard people say they don't need to repent because Christ died for our sins and we are all saved. But repentance is necessary. Even in our daily lives, we must acknowledge when we do something wrong, which isn't always easy. On the other side, we should forgive those who repent their wrongdoings to us. That also isn't always easy. There is also forgiving and letting go without repentance and that's the hardest of all. Someone once asked me who do I believe is being hurt by holding on and not forgiving. It's not the other person. They are living their happy life. It's the one holding onto the hurt. My hope is that with our vision that was discussed at the faculty meeting on Friday, we will create a climate next year of love and kindness where repentance and forgiveness are embraced.
Thank you to all the teachers who contributed some great ideas of how we can move our students toward kindness. Our theme next year will be Be Kind. Plain and simple and what we need more of. The song will be Give a Little Kindness. Yesenia already has all the moves down for this fun song. We will get something out this week for students to create a logo for our theme.
Tuesday is the ARK test (Gr. 2-8) and Thursday is Field Day. Have a wonderful week everyone!
