So many celebrations today, Mariners!🥳👏 Aside from the school's Foundation Day, it's the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. As St. Josemaria would say, "Have confidence in your guardian Angel. Treat him as a lifelong friend — that is what he is — and he will render you a thousand services in the ordinary affairs of each day" (The Way 562).

Here's a prayer we can all frequently pray. 🙏😇

God bless you all!

As we commemorate PAREF Northfield’s 29th Foundation Day, we also celebrate the 95th Anniversary of the Foundation of Opus Dei and the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels.

Did you know that St. Josemaria realized he was called to start Opus Dei upon hearing the bells peal from the nearby church of Our Lady of the Angels?

Have confidence in your guardian Angel. Treat him as a lifelong friend — that is what he is — and he will render you a thousand services in the ordinary affairs of each day. (The Way #562, St. Josemaria Escriva)

Mariners,

As we remember the memorial of Our Mother of Sorrows today, let's try to console her with our acts of love, as well as reflect on these words of St. Josemaria:

"Marvel at Mary’s courage: at the foot of the Cross, with the greatest of human sorrows — there is no sorrow like her sorrow — filled with fortitude.
And ask her for that same strength, so that you too can remain beside the Cross." (The Way, 508)

Mariners,

The Student Executive Board (SEB) invites you to the launch of the Marian Devotion tomorrow, Tuesday (Sept. 5), during the morning assembly at 7:45 in the morning. We invite you to bring your rosaries and prayerful intentions tomorrow, and to offer your flowers during Mama Mary's birthday on Friday.

“My daughters and sons, our Mother in Heaven deserves all the love our poor hearts are capable of. Our Lady never forgets us, and is always concerned about each of us. Mary protects and helps us, shelters and defends us." (Blessed Alvaro del Portillo, former Prelate of Opus Dei)
