Every year, the Marist Schools in South Africa set aside an hour in October to say a decade of the Rosary during this special month. October is seen as the month of the Rosary due to the fact that the liturgical feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is celebrated annually on 7 October. As Marists, we have a special devotion to Mary and it is important to us to mark this month in a way that brings us all together in prayer.
Catholic Schools Week is an annual celebration that occurs at different times of the year in Catholic schools in several countries across the globe. In Johannesburg, this week serves as an opportunity to recognise the value of Catholic education and the contributions that Catholic schools make to their communities.
The Impact of Saying YES
Saying YES means that you’re open to moving past your comfort zone and embracing a new challenge.
By saying YES, you naturally adopt a growth mindset, leading with your curiosity.
Before agreeing to a new obligation, we should think about the time this commitment will take up after hours, weekends or nights. Will there be increased stress from work?
If we still say YES to everyone and everything, we will have to think about how all this fits into our personal lives.
A balanced work / personal life is vital for optimal mental health and management of stress levels.
NO is a difficult word to say to our friends and colleagues especially when they need help.
Set boundaries and remember to prioritise your own wellness and happiness.
Make changes today. Make your physical, emotional, and mental well-being a priority.
