Wednesday was not just a day for strike action, it was also the Feast of the Assumption

At times people can be a little surprised by our Catholic devotion to Mary.  However, if we look closely at her life we can see that she was a wonderful role model for humanity.  Her life at the side of her son Jesus was challenging.  She showed courage and love at all times and was a model of goodness and faith.  This week we spoke to our children about the challenge of choosing right at all times, recognising that this is not always easy.  However, the model of Mary reminds us that choosing right always is possible.   Every day is a new day to take up this challenge.
