“There is no evil to be faced that Christ does not face with us. There is no enemy that Christ has not already conquered. There is no cross to bear that Christ has not already borne for us, and does not now bear with us. And on the far side of every cross we find the newness of life in the Holy Spirit, that new life which will reach its fulfillment in the resurrection. This is our faith. This is our witness before the world.” St. John Paul II
This week at Chosen we talked about how sometimes in our life and in the world around us we encounter pain, difficulties, suffering and trials and this can be difficult to understand and accept. We learned that, due to original sin, our fallen world will never be perfect and sin and its effects will remain but there is always HOPE and it comes to us in the Incarnation – the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ! He is our HOPE and our JOY for He shows us that beyond suffering there is life in His resurrection! “For You are my hope; O Lord God, You are my confidence from my youth.” Psalm 71:5 We also had fun playing a trivia game and a game of volleyball. Gr7/8 students are welcome to join at any time. Weekly meetings take place on Tuesdays from 7-9pm at St Mary’s School.
