I don't think the school leader, to whom I suspect you are referring, is ever representative of anybody other than herself. Most of her utterances are either self promoting or deliberately provocative in a narcissistic way.

Make me a channel of your peace
Where there is hatred let me bring your love
Where there is injury, your pardon Lord
And where there is doubt true faith in You

Blest are the pure in heart,
For they shall see our God;
The secret of the Lord is theirs;
Their soul is Christ’s abode.

The Lord, who left the heavens
Our life and peace to bring,
To dwell in lowliness with us
Our pattern and our King.

O Godhead hid, devoutly I adore Thee,
Who truly art within the forms before me;
To Thee my heart I bow with bended knee,
As failing quite in contemplating Thee.

Strength and protection may thy Passion be;
O Blessed Jesus, hear and answer me;
Deep in thy wounds, Lord, hide and shelter me;
So shall I never, never part from thee.

In the heavenly city bright
none shall need created light
you, its light, its joy, its crown,
you its sun which goes not down;
there for ever may we sing
alleluias to our King.

Woke at five planning Christmas Day in my head. Breakfast for ten, three- course Christmas dinner for eleven and an evening buffet for sixteen. Madness, but so many memories created.

The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
his wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame:
'From God, all hail,' the angel said to Mary,
'most highly favoured lady!'
Gloria!

Agreed Sue. A very pleasant experience having emerged relatively unscathed from the cesspit.

I remember a teacher flying out to Spain, exhausted, on the Saturday after year end. The following morning she was exiting a quaint rural church in the mountains when she heard from behind her "Hello Miss!"

Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the Lord!
Unnumbered blessings give my spirit voice;
tender to me the promise of his word –
in God my Saviour shall my heart rejoice.

Northern Rail services in East Lancashire decimated on a busy pre-Christmas Sunday, not by Storm Darragh, but by lack of crew availability. How have they got away with this for so long?
