The theme of this Sunday’s Gospel was “Lost and Found.” When we lose something of high value, we search and search until we finally find it. The discovery brings such a sense of relief. The greater the value of what was lost, the more we rejoice in finding it. Three times, Jesus uses this theme of something valuable being lost and found as the backdrop for his message in the Gospel reading today: a shepherd losing one of his sheep, a woman losing a coin, a father losing a son. Jesus uses these analogies in a personal way to describe God’s own seeking us out when we are lost and separated from him by sin: all of heaven rejoices when even one sinner is found and returns to God. That is the kind of rejoicing that happens in heaven for us!

Thank you to all who have been following the directions for our morning drop-off. Please take note that the drop-off does not open until 7:45 A.M. and closes at 8:15 A.M. If you see a member of the security team closing the gate, please drive around to the front of the school on Clinton Ave. Your child should enter the school via the Main Entrance. He/She should report to the office to pick up a late pass and then proceed to homeroom. A special thank you to the Fathers’ Club and Security Team for giving so much of your time and talent to launch this new procedure, thank you!
