We're just south of Worcester on the M5, due at school about 5.50. Please leave space on the drive for the bus to park, and keep the roundabout clear so we don't have to shunt anything out of the way :)
We're all spending the last of our cash here at the airport. No queues here at all and only the final boarding gate to negotiate.
Here's some of us looking like the wise men heading for Bethlehem. Camel trekking...something to be en....choose your ending ...'dured' or 'joyed'. https://t.co/SKROcPuDVL
We're back in Marrakech now, soaking up the heat and vibe of the city one last time. Prayers please for a good flight and smooth formalities at this end and back in the UK.
This was at our we'll deserved lunch stop yesterday. The trek was tough but we got to stop and chill at a place visited by some well known celebs. https://t.co/uAeRNcbr5k
A beautiful, bright morning here in Imlil. I've enjoyed a morning run and swim....let's now see how many students join Mrs H-D for yoga by the pool... https://t.co/edYQYxApE7
Let us continue to invoke the intercession of Our Lady, so that God might give the world peace, and let us pray in particular for the Ukrainian people.
Looking at the Mother of God in glory, we understand that true power is service, that to reign means to love, and that this is the road to Heaven. #Assumption
The populations of Somalia and various zones of the neighbouring countries, who already live in very precarious conditions, now find themselves in mortal danger due to drought. I hope that international solidarity can respond effectively to this emergency. #PrayTogether
The Gospel sets us in motion, and drives us to open up to God and our brothers. It is just like fire: while it warms us with God's love, it wants to burn our selfishness, enlighten the dark sides of life, consume the false idols that enslave us. #GospelOfTheDay
We need to pray always, even when everything seems in vain, when God appears to be deaf and mute and it seems we are wasting time. Even if heaven is overshadowed, the Christian does not stop praying.
We are unique, free and alive, called to live a love story with God, to make bold and firm decisions, to accept the marvelous risk of loving.
Those who believe themselves to be rich, successful and secure, base everything on themselves and close themselves off from God and their brothers and sisters, whereas those who know they are poor and not self-sufficient remain open to God and their neighbour. And they find joy.
Old age is the phase in life most suited to spreading the joyful news that life is the initiation to a final fulfilment. And the best is yet to come. May God grant us an old age capable of this!
How precious is that profoundly genuine sense of family and community among #IndigenousPeoples! And how important it is to cultivate properly the bond between young and old, and to maintain a healthy and harmonious relationship with all of creation!
Reviving a dialogue happens not with words, but witth silence; not by insisting, but by patiently beginning anew to patiently listen to another person, hearing about their struggles and what they carry inside. The healing of the heart begins with listening.
The departure of the first ships loaded with grain from the ports of Ukraine is a sign of hope. I sincerely hope that, following in this direction, there might be an end to combat and that a just and lasting peace might be reached.
Brothers and sisters, let us walk without fear, in the certainty that the Lord accompanies us always. And let us stay awake lest we be asleep when the Lord passes by. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 12:32)
Being disciples of Jesus and progressing along the path of #holiness means first and foremost letting ourselves be transfigured by the power of God's love.
