‘Mercy is the Lord’s most powerful message,’ he told the congregation in the little Church of Saint Anna located within the Vatican. ‘It is not easy to trust oneself to the mercy of God, because [God’s mercy] is an unfathomable abyss—but we

must do it.’ From Jesus, he said, we will ‘not hear words of contempt, we do not hear words of condemnation, but only words of love, of mercy, that invite us to conversation. “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin not more!” … The problem is that we get tired of asking forgiveness. Let us never get tired. He is the loving Father who always forgives, who has that heart of mercy for all of us.’ Bergoglio has changed, is the message, but changes will continue for Francis too. The man who is now Pope remains, he is telling us, a work in progress. Extract from ‘Pope Francis—Untying the Knots. What changed Bergoglio?

Sunday 27 July — Saturday 2 August.

This year's theme is - Come, live life in all its fullness.

This inspirational call is based on the Gospel of John (10:10), challenging those who answer it to “live fully”.

Reflecting this Gospel call, Catholic schools strive to provide a learning experience through which every young person has the

opportunity to reach their full human potential - spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially, culturally and physically -

and know what it means to engage in all that life has to offer.

OUR MISSION PRAYER

We, the St Ignatius community, are called to live the good news. We pray that we become the people that Jesus Christ called us to be. We pray that we know the Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit

through knowing Jesus in prayer, scripture and liturgy. We pray that we give hope to others by a practical, personal kindness, affirming each person's dignity, worth and destiny in Christ. May we live out this mission of our Christian vocation in the spirit of St. Ignatius.

• Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

••• The older we get, the fewer things seem worth queuing for.

• Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know ‘why’ I look this way. I’ve travelled a long way, and some of the roads weren’t paved.

• When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

• One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it’s such a nice change from being young.

ON GROWING OLDER ...
