I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything." - Pedro Arrupe

Going to the dictionary

According to dictionary.com...

Discipline (n) - Behavior in accord with rules of conduct; behavior and order maintained by training and control

Disciple (n) - A follower of Christ

Coincidence that these 2 words vary in spelling only slightly from each other? Think again. As we discussed today in fourth grade, it takes a lot of discipline to be a disciple of Jesus. 

Yes, it's tough work, and it's not for the slight of heart. But Jesus calls us to be his disciples. The question becomes, are we disciplined to take on such a role?
