Dear Parents and Students This prayer reflection printed in a recent edition of “The Tablet”, captures much of the essence of last week’s Year 12 Retreats.

Email: email@loreto.qld.edu.au Website: www.loreto.qld.edu.au
We need not pray in words; life is a prayer. Anything we offer to God is our prayer. Everything we offer is our prayer, and God receives it with open arms. You can allow your very breath to be your prayer, if you like . . . What do you have to offer to the One who made you? The psalmist wrote, “What can I give back to God for the blessings he’s poured out on me?” How about everything that’s good about you – your made-in-the-image-of-God self? Beautiful. God-breathed. Unique. Purposeful. Priceless. Believe it or not, you really do have so much to offer.

My sincere thanks to Mr Kevin McAlinden and Mrs Jan Kearney for their leadership and direction at both retreats. The experience was one of prayerful reflection and felicitous spirit. I commend to you the Seniors of 2011 as being an exceptional group of young women, who are open to the possibilities and challenges ahead of them. Their honesty, courage, faith and optimism struck a chord in the hearts of those teachers who were privileged to lead them. May our gracious God continue to hold them in the palm of his/ her hand. Amen
