We should be back at school at about 8.30. Please keep the roundabout and drive clear.
One final bit of beurocracy to get through in Morocco ...we're in passport control and will soon be 'airside'.
FYI we are heading back on BA2669 tomorrow (Sunday) ....flights leaves 1140, so we will be back later that originally informed. Students will keep you posted once we've landed.
We did it, got to the pass, 2532 metres. Why don't British mountains have drinks vendors at the top? https://t.co/85nrDCsrSW
First trek done. Blue dot is the hotel viewed from our route. Only 7 km walked, but has got everyone (?) in the mood for something longer in the morning... https://t.co/lUFMx0uUr0
We've moved up into the hills of the High Atlas. Students very happy in the pool..freshening up before their 'trek'. https://t.co/c7Fmtom8W9
The Lord Jesus has entrusted the Gospel to us so that we might bear His light into the world's darkness. Please, do not extinguish this light in you, but share it, so that fraternity might shine forth! #GeneralAudience
Just as a river is a source of life for the environment surrounding it, so our synodal Church must be a source of life for our common home and all its inhabitants. #SeasonofCreation
#Prayer is “water for the soulâ€. It is humble, unseen, yet gives life. Those who pray grow inwardly. They know how to raise their gaze on high, remembering they are made for Heaven.
Every one of us is “forgivenâ€: God gave his life for us and in no way can we recompense his mercy. However, by forgiving one another, we can bear witness to him, sowing new life around us. #GospelOfToday (Mt 18:21-35)
Without forgiveness there is no hope; without forgiveness there is no peace. Forgiveness is the oxygen that purifies the air of hatred; it is the antidote to the poisons of resentment; it is the way to defuse anger and heal so many maladies of the heart. #GospelOfToday
Let us repent of our “ecological sinsâ€, as my brother, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, has urged. With the help of God’s grace, let us adopt lifestyles marked by less waste and unnecessary consumption. #SeasonOfCreation
Our Lady of Sorrows teaches us that if we maintain our relationship with God, life does not spare us suffering. Rather, it opens up to a great horizon of goodness and moves towards its fulfilment.
Faith is not spread with worldly power but with the wisdom of the Cross; not with structures but with witness. From the eloquent silence of the Cross, the Lord is today asking you: Do you want to be my witness? #ExaltationOfHolyCross
Let us #PrayTogether for those who lost their lives in an inundation in #Libya, for their families and for the displaced. May we not fail to show our solidarity with these brothers and sisters, as well as with the people of Morocco who are suffering from an earthquake.
Let us #PrayTogether in the face of the many challenges and difficulties of our age. We should not remain idle spectators. Rather, may we actively engage for a more just and peaceful world. #GeneralAudience
Today, the dear Ethiopian people celebrate their traditional New Year. I would like to extend my warmest best wishes to the entire population, in the hope they will be blessed with the gifts of fraternal reconciliation and peace.
Proclaiming Christ unites, not divides. The shared proclamation of our Lord evangelizes the ecumenical journey itself. Let us journey together in prayer which purifies us, in charity which unites us, in dialogue which brings us closer together. #UnityOfChristians
Let us oppose the force of weapons with that of charity, the rhetoric of violence with the tenacity of prayer. Let us do so above all for the many countries that are suffering due to war; let us intensify our prayer for beleaguered Ukraine!
