Your Year 9 Cup Winners... @StMarysRCPE Despite a late charge from John Masefield, St Mary's held on to win. Their early dominance paid off for them to retain the trophy they had won 3 years back.
2 goals in quick succession leaves the score at 3-2!! John Masefield have ramped it up and momentum is certainly in their favour.
GOAL St Mary's 3-0 JMHS Griffiths again to secure his hat trick

This is the moment we left the project. Only one more road trip to make now, the journey to KL in the morning. https://t.co/y9UkgUbocv
Project only 99% successful...if you judge it from the fact that 1% of the paint ended up on the team.... https://t.co/SpG5fRFFDa
We're now camped at the edge of the rainforest, in amongst the rambutan trees. Only 3 leeches so far! https://t.co/GGRHXYod05
Signing out...probably. We're leaving Pangkor tomorrow and travelling to the edge of the Taman Negara rainforest. Not sure what our WiFi will be like, so please don't worry if we don't tweet for a few days.
Well I suppose tropical storms are to be expected in the tropics. Thankfully it stopped and we had fun at the beach. https://t.co/gdGTUWlAOM
Don't fret, this isn't our hotel! They're just hanging out at one of the sites on our island tour. https://t.co/32AzWoLnZa
"My peace I give you" (Jn 14:27). Jesus knows that on our own we are not able to cultivate peace, that we need help, a gift, the Holy Spirit. It is He who disarms the heart and fills it with serenity. #GospelOftheDay
Mary is the icon of our own vocation, since we, like her, are called to be holy and blameless in love (Eph 1:4), becoming images of Christ.
We need profound change, a conversion, that demilitarizes hearts, that would allow everyone to recognize the other as a brother or sister. #Peace #FratelliTutti
The Church remains grateful for every expression of fraternal charity and care shown to all who have been enslaved and exploited, for in this way, God's loving mercy becomes visible and the fabric of society is strengthened and renewed.
When we find ourselves faced with evil, we need to learn, from the example of so many older people, to unite our prayer to that of Jesus, who abandons himself to the Father on the cross. #BlessingOfTime @LaityFamilyLife @PontAcadLife https://t.co/ViALLKSA0l
As a Church, we need to return to what is essential instead of losing ourselves in so many secondary things, running the risk of losing sight of the simple purity of the Gospel.
Let us allow Jesus the Living Bread to heal us of our self-absorption. May he open our hearts to sharing, heal us from rigidity and turning in on ourselves, and inspire us to follow him wherever he wants to lead us.
Beatitude, holiness, is not a life plan made up only of effort and renunciation, but is above all the joyful discovery of being God's beloved children.
As tensions and wars increase in the world, may the new Saints inspire paths of dialogue, especially in the hearts and minds of those who hold positions of great responsibility and are called to be agents of #peace, not war.
#Holiness does not consist of a few heroic deeds, but of loving a lot every day. https://t.co/u27DKitWPh
Each of us is called to #holiness, to a unique and unrepeatable form of holiness. The Lord has a design of love for everyone. He has a dream for your life. Welcome it! Pursue it joyfully! https://t.co/u27DKiclXJ
Let us support the #family! Let us defend it from what compromises its beauty. Let us approach this mystery of love with discretion and tenderness. And let us commit ourselves to safeguarding its precious and delicate bonds that allow it to flourish make humanity more fraternal.
