We hosted a group of Danish school leaders today. The exchange of knowledge and experience of #catholiceducation was valuable. @davidkaletheia.bsky.social presented the context in Ireland and facilitated the discussion. Looking forward to collaborating again @schoolhumandev.bsky.social

Khera holding a chicken in her arms.

"So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them," 

Matthew 7:12

Khera holding a chicken in her arms. "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them," Matthew 7:12

The final words of today’s gospel reading remind us to treat others as we would wish to be treated.

In Kenya, Khera raises chickens and is part of a women's group where members work together and support one another. More in today's reflection. ⤵️
