St Rose's Dominican College

We have facilitated two very enjoyable days with the girls of St Rose's Dominican College. These days were full of fun and lively conversation on how we treat people who are different from us and how we can try to be more like Jesus loving everyone, including people we don't like.
Focus
We made a sign to show peace and kindness to one another and try to be more Christian. The stars remind us that God created too earth.
Music
We decided to play Hero because when someone puts you down just get back up and hold your head high. Remember that we are all heroes.
We chose The Climb - don't give up on your dreams, we should always try them.

Scripture
We chose Jesus heals the two blind men because Jesus is communicating with others no matter what is wrong with them. Jesus is respecting them and helping them, so we should follow him.
Prayers                                                                  
Dear God
We pray for all the families who have lost someone with cancer
Lord hear us

Dear God
Please look after the sick and the poor,
Bless them and keep them safe for the future.

Look over the ones that starve each day.
Thank you
Amen

Dear God
Thank you for having me in this world today and the parents and friends you gave me,

Reflection
Some words that describe today on retreat

Focus
We made a flower today because a flower is part of God's creation. A flower represents beauty. God's creation is beautiful. By making this flower we wanted to show how we appreciate God's work.
Music
Man in the mirror - because it's about making a positive change. You start by making a change on yourself.
Reach - because it's a happy song and it tells you to believe in your dreams. Follow your heart.

Scripture
We chose Love your enemies and acted it because today we talked about loving your enemies and we like the story.

Help us through the tough times.
We remember that our guardian angels are with us.
