DAY 2
MORNING PRAYER
We often discover neighbours
in the most unexpected people, even those whose very name or origins we find
difficult to utter. In today’s world, where polarized politics often set those
of different religious identities against one another, Jesus challenges us
through the parable of The Good Samaritan to see the importance of our vocation
to cross borders and walls of separation.
Holy God,
Your
Son, Jesus Christ came among us,
to
show us the way of compassion.
Help
us, by your Spirit,
to
follow his example,
to
serve the needs of all your children,
and
so give united Christian witness
to
your ways of love and mercy.
We
pray in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

École St Mary High School would like to invite the community to Upstage Productions' drama, Puffs or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic. In this hilarious parody of a familiar story, three potential heroes are just trying to make it through a magic school that proves to be very dangerous for children. Alongside them are the Puffs, a group of well-meaning, loyal outsiders with a thing for badgers. Their epic quest takes the classic story to new places and reimagines what a boy wizard hero can be. Showtimes at the E.A. Rawlinson Centre are at 7:30 p.m. from Thursday, January 11th to Saturday, January 13th. Tickets cost $22.00 for adults (ages 19 and over) and $18.00 for students (ages 18 years and under) and are available at the E.A. Rawlinson Box Office, online at https://tickets.citypa.ca/TheatreManager/1/tmEvent/tmEvent1427.html or by phoning 765-1270.
