Last Wednesday, we had St. Mark's Warrenpoint make the journey up to Belfast for a day of retreat. We took time to think about who has influenced us, who the important people are in our lives, how God helps us, and how we can appreciate one another. It was a lovely day.
For our liturgy, we each wrote the name of someone we were thankful for, and the name of someone we had an intention for on a piece of paper and then stapled it to a paper circle... it made the focus-space be filled with our hopes and our gratitude.
When the focus-space was all complete, it reminded us of that gorgeous phrase in Irish:
- ar scáth a chéile a mhaireas na daoine -
- it is in the shelter of each other that the people live -
We always look forward to having St. Mark's pupils with us and look forward to more groups this year.
