We hosted a group of Danish school leaders today. The exchange of knowledge and experience of #catholiceducation was valuable. @davidkaletheia.bsky.social presented the context in Ireland and facilitated the discussion. Looking forward to collaborating again @schoolhumandev.bsky.social

The final words of today’s gospel reading remind us to treat others as we would wish to be treated. In Kenya, Khera raises chickens and is part of a women's group where members work together and support one another. More in today's reflection. ⤵️ cafod.org.uk/pray/lent-ca...

"So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them,"

Provocative piece on the need for space to pause and disconnect from the pervasiveness of technology. Ironically I peeked at my newsfeed before my morning meditation routine and this was the first post I encountered! A gentle prompt perhaps to head first to @prayasyougo.bsky.social
