HOLY WEEK 2014

This week we gather to listen to and think about the story of Jesus’ Passion. The Passion is the story that tells us what happened in the last few days and hours Jesus was walking around on our earth.

Here is a story that tells Jesus’ passion in a different way.

Listen carefully to this story.

Let us pray….

God,How uncomfortable it can make me, to think

about the way Jesus gave all he had for me. Help me to share my life and love more fully, out of thanks for the great love you have shown for me.

Through Christ, our Lord.Amen

AWE MEREAwe Mere e ki ana i te keratia

Kei a koe te arikiko koe e whakapaenga ana i nga wahine

a ka whakapaenga hoki a hehu te hua o tō koopu

e Hata Mere te matou o te Atua inoi koe mo matou e hunga hara aianeia i te houra o tō matou matenga rawa

Amene

God, Our Father, we praise you for your greatness.

We thank you for calling us to be your sons and daughters.

Let your light shine on us so that we may see and understand your gospel values and grow

in Faith, Hope and love.

Through the intercession of St Mary of the Cross MacKillop and St Patrick, let us

not be afraid to speak out for what is right, and let our learning be guided by your Holy Spirit so that all in our school will be empowered today for tomorrow’s

world, wherever that may take us.

We make this prayer through Christ Our Lord

Amen
