Catholic Education Week 2023- Places of Encounter Reflection
“Let the words you speak always be full of Grace.” The letter of St Paul to the Colossians 4:6.
Catholic schools continue the mission of Jesus and must be places of encounter for our communities; places of welcome and invitation to get to know the person of Jesus. God is a God of encounter; constantly inviting people to share in an unconditional love, like no other. God desires to come and meet each of us, no matter who we are or how far we feel we are from God. All our unique traits and quirks are part of what God loves about us and God desires to speak to us and love us in our individuality which makes us human.
God’s grace working through us can be the catalyst to encounter and provide a place of encounter. In the words of Pope Francis,
“May the Lord give us the grace, to encounter him but also to let ourselves be encountered by him.” Homily, 3.9.15
