The Community of Santa Teresa Painted Religious Crosses

Greetings!

I have had the privilege of spending the last 3 weeks away from home, most of it in the Community of Santa Teresa in the Northern Territory. Those of you who were here last year might remember that this was where I was when COVID first impacted us in March 2020.

Gospel of Sunday 31 October 2021 – 31^st Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Mark.

One of the scribes came up to Jesus and put a question to him, ‘Which is the first of all the commandments?’  Jesus replied, ‘This is the first: Listen, Israel, the Lord our God is the one Lord, and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.  

St Martin's Library now has a bilingual book section, full of books in the different languages spoken by our wonderful families! Classes have been exploring the books in their library sessions and hearing their classmates read to them in many different languages. Students can also borrow the books  to share their home language with friends and family. We hope that you enjoy reading them together and share many ideas about languages and stories. If you would like to share your language with your child's class by coming in to read, I know that their teachers would love to hear from you.
