Sunday Gospel: Jesus took Peter, James and John up the mountain to show them who He really is. Jesus shone brightly, in divine glory, wherein God spoke to them, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to Him." It was a glimpse of the what is to come, and a reminder, that no matter how dark life can get, there is always a light, and that the glory of our Lord, is the final word.
L'Évangile de ce dimanche : Jésus a emmené Pierre, Jacques et Jean sur la montagne pour leur montrer qui Il est vraiment. Jésus a brillé d'un éclat divin, et Dieu leur a dit , "Celui-ci est mon Fils bien-aimé. Écoutez-le." C'était un aperçu de ce qui est à venir, et un rappel que peu importe l'obscurité de la vie, il y a toujours une lumière, et que la gloire de notre Seigneur a le dernier mot.

Yesterday we began our Lenten season, a 40-day journey of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. As we receive ashes on our foreheads, we take a moment to pause, reflect on our hearts, and turn back toward what truly matters. It’s not just about what we’re giving up, but who we’re becoming
Celebrating our success!

Sunday Gospel: Today's gospel reminds us that Jesus came to fulfill His true purpose and not to discard the laws. Jesus calls us to move beyond "check-the-box" compliance, I do it because I was told too...rather, He asks that we move toward a genuine change of heart. When we shift from doing things because we have to, to doing them because we truly care, we move from external performance to lasting impact.
L'Évangile d'aujourd'hui nous rappelle que Jésus est venu pour accomplir sa véritable mission et non pour rejeter les lois. Jésus nous appelle à dépasser la simple obéissance mécanique — le genre de comportement où l'on se dit : "Je le fais parce qu'on me l'a dit ". Il nous demande plutôt d'évoluer vers un véritable changement de cœur. Lorsque nous passons de l'obligation, parce qu'il le faut, à la sincérité, parce que cela nous tient à cœur, nous passons d'une simple performance extérieure à un impact durable.

Happy Family Day from all of us at Lakeland Catholic Schools.
Today, we give thanks for the gift of family, the place where we first learn love, forgiveness, faith, and service.
“As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
— Joshua 24:15
May this day be filled with gratitude and connection, rooted in the love we share as families and in keeping Christ at the centre of our homes and hearts.
Christ Our Model. Children Our Focus.
