Monday - Welcome back. It has been a long time since we have all seen each other and you may be feeling excited to see each other again, or you may be feeling anxious or nervous about coming back. You might be feeling quite relaxed. Whatever feelings you are having, it is ok, because all of us will be feeling like that, as well. Talk to each other and listen to each other about how you are feeling. During the day, you might have different feelings - it might be like being on a rollercoaster. Choose a car, write your name on it and put it somewhere on the rollercoaster.
During the day, remember to wash your hands
This week, we are remembering a letter that Pope Francis wrote 5 years ago, called Laudate Si' - Care for our Common Home - What is our common home? During morning prayer, watch this video -
then pray this prayer: All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe and in the smallest of your creatures. You embrace with your tenderness all that exists. Pour out upon us the power of your love, that we may protect life and beauty. Fill us with peace, that we may live as brothers and sisters, harming no one. Amen Written by Pope Francis
Recycling challenge: Make something from God’s creation (a flower, an animal, a person) using items from your recycling bin! OR using the theme for Laudato Si Week 2020, “Everything is Connected” complete one of the activities in the Caritas Kaitiaki 2 Share competition.
