Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

"Be not forgetful of prayer. Every time you pray, if your prayer is sincere, there will be new feeling and new meaning in it, which will give you fresh courage, and you will understand that prayer is an education." ~ Fyodor Dostoevsky The Church at Auvers 🎨 Vincent van Gogh

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." ~ Henry David Thoreau

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

What inspired you to write the story 'War of the Wind'? Would you recommend learning sign language? What inspired you to become a writer? Were you good at writing stories when you were at school? How do you become a writer? What book is coming next? From S1 pupils at Our Lady's.

S1 have really been enjoying their free book, 'War of the Wind' by @strangelymagic this week. They have been reading and responding to the text, and even learning some sign language along the way! @MissMilton_Eng @OLHSCumbernauld #TeamEnglishOLHS #TheOurLadysWay
