Dragon Roar: 10.13.19 Week 9
Daring Greatly in Faith, Academics & Service since 1960
Welcome, Fall, Finally!!!
Good evening, dragons!
I hope you and your families are enjoying a long weekend together and staying warm.
In Sunday's gospel Jesus heals 10 lepers, and one, the Samaritan, returns to give thanks.
Luke 17:11-19
Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
This story is a lesson about faith and reminds us that faith is sometimes found in unlikely places. Another lesson for us in this Gospel has to do with salvation. All 10 of the lepers were given the gift of healing, but in his gratitude to God for this gift, the Samaritan found salvation. Our salvation is found in recognizing the gifts we have been given and knowing to whom we must offer our thanks. How can we all support our students to recognize, live and celebrate their unique gifts? Do we offer up gratitude for our strengths and even areas of challenge?
Blessings,
Ms. Salazar | Principal
