Sr Ger's Thought for the Day - Friday
As we move towards Holy Week and Easter, let us think about the One who is at the centre of our Christian faith…
In the poem, One Solitary Life, we see Jesus depicted as a very ordinary man – and from a very humble background. Two thousand and twenty years later… and I think you will agree that there are precious few men/women who are spoken of or related to on a daily basis as much as this simple living man from Nazareth in Galilee…
May the influence of this man’s life become even more evident as we journey through these days and weeks of the Covid-19 Pandemic…
May the Lord bless us and keep us all safe ... See more

Sister Ger's thought for the day 😊

SR GER'S THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - WEDNESDAY
Today's thought is a reflection from John O'Donohue's book Benedictus. It is a reflection on how Kindness is a Mode of Blessing. Today as we go about our daily lives, that have changed dramatically, may all our actions, friends and families be blessed with a kind heart.

John O'Donohue writes:

Perhaps we bless each other all the time, without even realising it. When we show compassion or kindness to another, we are setting blessing in train. This is a way in which an act of kindness done becomes an independent luminous thing, a kind of jewel-box of light that might conceal itself for days or years until one day, when you are in desperate straits, you notice something on the floor at your feet. You reach for it and discover exactly the courage and vision for which you want.

**COMPETITION TIME**
As a school we are deeply appreciative and grateful for the immense effort and dedication our country's frontline workers are undertaking.
The best and most important way of showing our support for frontline workers is to stay home!🏘️

While it can be easier to be productive some days more than others, we are doing our best to stay busy by studying, baking, reading, drawing...to name just a few.👩‍🍳📚👩‍🎨
We want to challenge our staff and students to send in photos of how you are staying productive while you stay home in support of frontline workers. There's a cinema voucher for up for grabs for the best one!
Have a little look at some of the pictures our management, staff , head girl and deputy head girl have sent in so far 😊

Please send your photos to the Loreto Letterkenny Facebook page via Facebook messenger, thank you! Looking forward to seeing what you've all been up to 😊

Two past pupils of Loreto Letterkenny, Ruth Keogh and Shauna Mc Daid, collaborated to create this stunning dedication to our wee town in these tough times.
The song, 'Plain Truths' by the haunting, beautiful, powerful voice of Shauna McDaid plays as the camera spans across our town capturing the empty streets and closed doors. These empty streets and closed doors, shot beautifully by Ruth Keogh, prove that our town is "staying apart as a nation to come together". They symbolise the solidarity and resilience of the people of Letterkenny.
Our school, our community and our country will continue to persevere.
Please stay home. It is more vital now than ever.
