This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to GOD. Poem Transformation BireswarHalder I am out in a journey, on a long march Aimless and wandering, I walked out Mid-way, time took a toll and the goal lost its way None stood as a beacon, the way looked endless.I forgot what the journey was worth I was lost in a bog of illusions, as if I was blind The Holy Spirit mocked me, worldly pleasures circled me I was in a hunt for the ephemeral treasures. I walked on, peace was never mine, Slowly I was in a prison-house of pleasures Wisdom dawned at last, a flash of epiphany I was transformed, now the goal was eternal peace For long I was in an accursed mazeI was bewildered, in mercy of hate and pleasures The supreme goal of peace now is dimly visible I am in the end of journey, light of peace in my hand. Prayer Kindly bow your heads, close your eyes and join your hands for prayer. Let us pray, Dear God we praise and glorify you, we thank you graciously for this new academic year. Your hand on our lives is so much more than we could ask for. Lord, help us to keep our mind focused on Your will and please transform our lives, so that we can grow in you. Help us to become aware of the Holy Spirit’s promptings, so that our heart and mind may become saturated with Jesus. Let us remain grateful to you throughout the days of our life. For in the name of Jesus Christ we pray.Amen. Let us continue by saying the Lord’s Prayer together. Pledge and National Anthem Kindly stand to attention for the Pledge and the National Anthem. Gudi Padwa Before we conclude this assembly, let us throw light on yesterday’s celebration Gudi Padwa or the Marathi New Year gets its name from two words – ‘gudi’ which means a flag or emblem of Hindu Lord Brahma and ‘padwa’ means the first day of the phase of the moon and the festival marks the beginning of the harvest season and is celebrated with much fervour and enthusiasm in the state of Maharashtra. Thought for the day Our greatest transformation happens through our toughest times. Thank you and have a wonderful day.
