The pupils’ return to school this week reflected a range of emotions.  The joy of seeing friends, that lament of holidays being over, the shock of dark early mornings, and the relief of a return to routines.  It was always the plan to mark the Feats of the Epiphany on Friday with a school worship to conclude the Christmas season; this week, however, we added liturgies to mark the life and death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.  As a community, we reflected in our Epiphany worship on how we looked to both Benedict, and his successor Pope Francis, as a guiding light for our journey of faith on earth in the same way that the Magi followed the star to the stable.
