Respected Teachers, Parents and my dear Children,
Good morning..! A very Happy Republic Day 2025…!!
This Republic Day marks the 6th Anniversary of the Inauguration and Blessing of the Secondary School Block our St. Xavier’s Cathedral School Amravati. It is indeed a day of great joy and rejoicing and thanksgiving to God for His manifold blessings upon our school for last seven years.
On this auspicious occasion of the 76th Republic Day of our nation India, we, the staff and students of St. Xavier’s Cathedral School Amravati solemnly recite the most beautiful prayer “the Preamble of the Constitution of our Nation” which primarily entails the most valuable human values such as Justice, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. When we recite these words, we in fact make a pledge to make our county a place where these human ideals and values are greatly upheld and lived out. Hence, we as responsible citizens of our country need to practice these virtues in our homes, schools, classrooms, the society and the country at large.
Pope Francis rightly exhort all of us to re-orient our lives towards God and to walk with others, extending our solidarity with others during this Jubilee year. True, we have to see each other, above and beyond any differences, as members of one large family where we bear each other’s burdens and struggles. We should never be infected by the evil of indifference but be always ready to take risks to do good to others and to make this world a better place for everyone to live. In other words that’s what education is all about.
Barack Obama, the former President of America says, “Education is not a name of any degree or certificate that can be shown to others as a proof. Education is of your attitude, actions, language and behavior with others in real life.” So let us treasure these constitutional values and put them into practice and bring forth happiness, prosperity and well-being to all.
Wishing you all a Happy and Blessed year ahead. May God bless each one of you.
