Thought for the week Week Commencing 11 th June 2018

Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Pope Francis share their thoughts on God's dream for humanity to realize that we are all family, meant to be united in goodness and compassion. Reflecting on Mark 3:20-25, we learn the importance of unity and working together. Through prayer and self-reflection, we are reminded of Jesus' teachings on love, respect, and embracing our differences. The quote by Plato encourages us to show kindness and empathy to others, as we may not know the battles they are facing. Let us strive to be better individuals through love and understanding.
