5th SUNDAY OF LENT
In the first reading for today’s liturgy, we hear God’s striking promise as conveyed by the prophet Jeremiah: … this is the covenant I will make with my people – deep within them I will plant my Law, writing it on their hearts. Then I will be their God and they shall be my people… (Jeremiah 31:31-34)
Take a second or two to let these words conjure up images for you:
deep within – nothing on the surface but penetrating and permanent;
plant – requiring a deliberate tilling of soil and tending for a future;
writing on hearts – a personal place where the wonder will not be forgotten.
We have come across covenants in earlier readings this Lent – the one with Noah and the rainbow, the one with Moses and the stone tablets, the one with Abraham and Isaac and last week’s retelling of the exile in Babylon.
The context of today’s particular covenant is important – this is God at God’s most vulnerable, most loving, most forgiving and most embracing! This is God, the Creator of all, calling us into a relationship that has nothing to do with duty and diligence but everything to do with deep delight!
It’s a magnificent promissory love letter, a proposal of relationship and has nothing to do with ‘you do this and you’ll be mine’. No, this covenant is totally free – it is enduring, living and personal. Take away the stone and replace it with flesh – a new heart with new priorities, new desires and new yearnings. ...

BEYOND LORETO | Production of the 2024 edition of BEYOND is underway! If you are a past pupil of Loreto College Coorparoo or if you might know about one, we want to hear from you! We’re calling for news about past pupils who’ve recently got engaged, married, or had a bub this year, as we’d love to include them in our annual BEYOND publication.
We also welcome stories for our She's Got Drive (150 – 200 words) and Shout Out (100 words or less) features. It's lovely to read updates on past pupils and find out where life has taken them beyond the gates of Loreto. Check out our previous 2023 BEYOND publication, for inspiration - bit.ly/3Opexn6
Please send details for any of the above and a photo or two to community@loreto.qld.edu.au or submit your news via our website form – bit.ly/3V6FUYf
Submissions are due by the end of March 2024.
We look forward to sharing this publication with you later this year!

MARY WARD CONNECT | Last week, as part of the 2024 Mary Ward Connect Program, we welcomed staff and students from Loreto Kirribilli and Loreto College, Marryatville, SA into our College community. The Mary Ward Connect Program is designed to deepen our school’s connections with other Loreto schools in Australia, as well as to build connections and friendships between students. Students had a wonderful time learning about what Loreto life is like in another state, while others enjoyed showing their new friends around Brisbane. #MaryWardConnect #proudtobeloreto ...
