St. Luke Weekly SMORE
June 12, 2022
Leadership Message
Saint John tells us, “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Trinity Sunday is about unity. The devil divides. In fact, the Greek word for devil, diabolos, means “to divide”. Satan aims to please the self and divide us from the multiplying force of God’s love.
Jesus came to save us from the Great Divider. Last week the Church celebrated the Feast of Pentecost, the Arrival of the Unifying Holy Spirit. While Jesus ascended back to the Father he did promise the Apostles (and us) to send a Helper. Two thousand years later, the Holy Spirit has continued to guide the Church.The Feast of the Most Holy Trinity celebrates the truth that God is love. Three Persons. One God. It is the simplest, yet most mysterious Christian truth.
Last week we were reminded of God’s love through our year end school mass on Wednesday. Father Mario left staff and students with a message to love one another so we can be welcomed into the kingdom of Heaven. Thank-you to all who came out to celebrate with us.
We celebrated our Grade 8 students on Friday with a beautiful celebration. The evening started off full of excitement and ended with the most memorable experiences from students. What a beautiful way to celebrate our students and all they have accomplished over their time with us at St. Luke. We know these students will accomplish great things and will pray for them as they begin their new journey.
This week we begin to see our school year wrap up with the last day of regular classes for our grade 6,7 and 8’s. We wish these students good luck as they begin preparations for final exams.
Have a great week!
