Blessed Edmund Rice Feast Day

'Edmund’s foundational motto to “Live Jesus in Our Hearts — Forever” is a central theme to his Feast Day. The motto refers to the fervent belief that Edmund held that the ‘Holy Spirit dwells within us, and that personal encounter and belief in Jesus transforms our thoughts, actions, and emotions’.
As already mentioned in our Special Character Report, this week, we celebrated Blessed Edmund Rice Feast Day at Trinity, and attached is a message from Edmund Rice Education Australia. It is interesting to read about the wonderful work they do across Australia, and a strong reminder to us all about the enduring legacy of Blessed Edmund Rice - the liberation of education, compassion for the poor, and a call to justice and solidarity.
