"The whining schoolboy with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping like snail unwillingly to school." Well, Shakespere had it half right.
The boys and girls who attended the Beginning of Term Mass certainly had 'shining faces' but there was little evidence of 'unwillingness' or 'snail-like' creeping to school. On the contrary 'skipping' was the order of the day.
The girls and boys gathered for their usual start of term Mass and they were reminded how precious they are to Jesus, this signalled bythe Gospel where Jesus upbraids the Apostles for turning away the children. They prayed for a good year, and the ability to 'do their best.'
May that prayer be answered in excelsis!
