Let your Light Shine
This has been the theme of our week and we have done a lot of reflection, discussion and work around this at Castlerigg. How we can let God’s light shine through us and be the work of his hands. We have grown in our relationship with God through prayer, adoration and celebrating mass together. All of the workshops we have compelted have been centred around how we can use of talents to let God’s light sine through and how these are shown through our relationship with God and of course each other. Every one of them this week has been fully engaged in the trip and has been an absolute joy to take away, they have been so patient, enthusiastic, kind and reverent. The adoration was our favourite time, seeing the children so engrossed in their prayer and reflection was so humbling- they really have been a credit to you all. The other highlight was our time by the lake, where we took part in contemplation, foucsuing on the views and the sounds of God’s creation. God definitely heard our prayers, as a couple of minutes in, the sun broke through the clouds and shone on the lake- what a magical moment. We were lucky enough to capture this moment on camera, which is the picutre above, and the children at school have been responding to this using art work and writing poetry.
