Daily Prayer & Reflection

Our Franciscan Charism focus for this school year is: SERVICE AND GRATITUDE


As we find ourselves about half-way through this Advent Season, there are so many things that need our attention. The day to day pace of life has gotten out of hand and we seem to spend little time apart, thinking and praying. If that sounds strange, maybe that's a sign that we should invest ourselves in carving out private moments and take the time to look at our lives.

We live in a very material world these days and have become people whose consumption and drive to have things has reached an all-time high. At a time with options for greatest communication we find ourselves divided and angry, wandering between one thing and the next, and not quite sure where we belong in many ways. This Christmas season may be a good starting place for getting our lives attuned to what God had in mind when choosing to send His Son.
 
It might help us to look at what little we really need to be happy,  what little most people have in this world, and what we can and need to do to change our world. Mary and Joseph had little, asked for little, and yet found boundless happiness in their lives. We may wonder why they were chosen to parent the Son of God? Perhaps their values and priorities were in line with what God needed to send His Son to earth.

The entire TCHS Community wishes all who join us on our Prayer Corner through the year, a most joyous and fulfilling Christmas season and all of the very best in the New Year to all our families and friends...we thank you for your prayers and support. God bless us all!

SAINT FRANCIS AND SAINT CLARE, PRAY FOR US!
