SOMETHING FOR THE GIRLS We have this heart within each of us that desires to nurture, to
grow and develop and help others. We have this need within us
to have companionship especially with other people like us! That
way we all belong and feel loved.
God has graciously given Us Himself and ultimately that’s where we find love and a true
companion and friend. In God’s generosity to us He has also given us other girls to do life
with. To have friendships with, where we can laugh and cry, share and encourage each other.
Hearts full and responsive of love and generosity, fun and sensitivity that brings a joy to our
face and in our hearts and minds.

We Pray For:
A short reflection … The Hope of the Resurrection
Holy Week observances help us to place the hope of the Resurrection, the
promise of newness and life, against the background of death and endings.
It is only in walking through the shadows and darkness of Holy Week and
Good Friday, only in realising the horror and magnitude of sin and its conse-
quences in the world incarnated in the dying Jesus on the cross, only in con-
templating the ending and despair that the disciples felt on Holy Saturday,
that we can truly understand the light and hope of Sunday morning!
