#studentshowcase Here is our second instalment of the students Lenten Gospel reflection. Today Mary shares so beautifully and vulnerably about letting God use her & being awake to see the Glory of God! What is God saying to you today? 💒
SAVE THE DATE! 🎉🎉 @youth2000uk
Yesterday evening we continued with the bible timeline & learnt about Joshua & Samuel, it was a FABULOUS evening. Here is a snippet from the book of Joshua to encourage you today 🔥
#studentshowcase Throughout lent some of our lovely students are writing reflections on the Sunday Gospels, we’ve asked them to be honest and vulnerable & encouraging and this weeks is certainly that. Check out @_elizabeth__martin_ beautiful reflection for last Sunday (sorry it’s a bit late) 🌟
The Catholic Society election’s are coming soon & it’s such a great opportunity to serve the student community & chaplaincy / Mission Hub next year. Mary has done a beaut job at displaying the roles, come to the chaplaincy & get involved #leadership #serving #community
Last night we had a whole lot of fun dancing around the kitchen and eating our body weight in pancakes 🥞🍫🥂
Today is Ash Wednesday. Today we are reminded to fix our eyes on Jesus, turn away from the things that hinder us & to open our eyes and hearts to his love for us. Today I received a @blessedisshe__ devotion through my inbox & had to share. See you at half 5 for Mass & distribution of Ashes 💒 💒“Even now, says the Lord, return to me . . .” (Joel 2:12-18). The first line of today’s First Reading took my breath away. Even now, after sin and failure, and broken promises, He calls me to Him. In all His tenderness He says, “[R]eturn to me.” It seems impossible, inconceivable, miraculous. Even after I have been short-tempered with my loved ones? Even after I have been uncharitable in my thoughts and speech? Even after I have failed a million times over? Yes, He would say, even then. And I do return, because I know I need Him. I know that without Him, I am like the dark ash rubbed across my brow, a reminder of my own substance. So I will begin this Lent by returning my heart and mind to God, diving deeper into prayer. I will fast so that my desires will make way for my deeper desire for the Lord to emerge. I will give to those in need, be that monetarily or with my time and love. I’m committing to taking more time to sit and call upon the Holy Spirit to teach me to pray. I will allow my spiritual reading to stir that conversation in my heart that needs to happen with our great Creator. I am committing to more regular examination, and asking Him to help me fine-tune my interior life so that my exterior life is a reflection of the goodness that resides within. Let’s enter this season of hope together, ready to encounter our Lord in our sinfulness. He is ready to do the work of bringing about new life, even now.
#throwback to last Sunday after mass. A few of the cath soc went for lunch. ☺️
‘Every Catholic is one good confession away from potential sainthood’ - Next Tuesday before Mass (17:00-18:00) we will be holding a reconciliation service with visiting priests. This is such a good opportunity to start lent off the right way & enter into lent with humility & openness. See you there!
Helpful reminder for Ash Wednesday tomorrow ☺️
On Saturday students gathered with @hallam_youth & many others for #flame2019 with @flamecongress. It was a day full of laughter, Jesus & friendships. We only managed to get one photo but here is the photo... Bishop Ralph enjoying some cake on the journey down
Lent is close 🙏 over the next few days we will be starting to share with you different ways you can prepare for lent. First things first however is to put Ash Wednesday mass in your diary. See you there!
The views, the people & the food all made last weekend a great success for the Cath Soc retreat #ampleforth 🙏
