Catholic Schools Week - Living Life in Wonder and Awe

27th Jan 2022

‘In the very beginning of time, God created all that is, and proclaimed it
good.’ (Gn 1:1–31)


We all know that amazing sensation of feeling part of something much larger than ourselves such as the vastness of the night sky or the intensity of great music. Experiencing these magical feelings also changes how we approach our lives. It can make us more satisfied, less self-involved, more grateful and more likely to help others.
These ‘wow’ moments also stimulate curiosity, creativity and innovation. Most importantly, they bring joy. It is important to encourage wonder and awe in our pupils. The gift of wonder and awe is the ability to appreciate and celebrate all that is good in oneself, others and creation. It is the gift that helps us see the work of God in the ordinary everyday things. It is an acknowledgement of the power of God working through our lives, through the lives of others around us and through creation. #wonderfulworld
