Edition 98 | 9 May , 2025

Welcome to The Soul, a resource for Catholic school staff in the Diocese of Lismore and beyond.

This edition, we’re reflecting on The Call, the unique and personal invitation each of us receives from God. Whether it’s a quiet nudge, a moment of clarity, or a path we never expected, God continues to call us into deeper relationships, purpose, and service.

Pope Francis often reminded us that we are not meant to keep our faith locked away, but to live it boldly and joyfully. In his vision for a “missionary Church,” he encouraged us to go out, to reach the margins, and to live as people who are sent. Each of us, he said, is called to be a missionary disciple, someone who hears the Gospel and carries it into daily life with courage and compassion.

Let’s be people who hear the call like Pope Francis did and respond with hearts ready to listen, to follow and to love.
