Taste & See the Goodness of the Lord
As we continue our journey of faith and reflection toward the end of this school year, I am drawn to the beautiful refrain of the hymn by Reverend James Moore, I Will Bless the Lord at All Times. Particularly the moving words within the refrain: "Taste and see the goodness of the Lord."
Embedded in these simple yet profound lyrics is a powerful invitation for each of us to encounter God's boundless love and grace in our daily lives. As members of our Catholic school community, let us heed this call to open our hearts and minds to the abundant blessings that surround us, to truly experience the goodness of the Lord in every moment. May this refrain serve as a guiding light for us all, reminding us of the richness of our faith and the infinite mercy of our loving Creator.
When together with your family, ask your child, "Where did you see God today?" or "How did you experience God's love or power this week?" Together, as families and as a whole school community, we can journey forward in gratitude and joy, ever mindful of the presence of God in our midst.
Let us focus on His goodness especially during this final month of school!
Mrs. Stoffel
