Our theme in school this week is Be Alert which comes from the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids in St Matthew’s Gospel. In the parable, Jesus speaks of bridesmaids waiting for the groom to arrive. Some have brought enough oil to keep their lamps burning but some bridesmaids were not as prepared and so miss the arrival of the groom. The message in school this week is, “Stay awake, for you do not know either the day or the hour.”
