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

Busy = Understatement...But...

Have you ever had one of those weeks in front of you when you open up your calendar and search desperately for white space (a.k.a. no meetings, activities, etc.)?

This upcoming week is one for me. Each night when the clock tolls 7, I will be at Church (or Church-related events). When I think about it, I do think it's a pretty good way to spend my time...but I do long for a little time to myself...which is definitely not happening this week...

It makes me think about something a friend talked about on retreat - we are human beings NOT doings. So, even though the busy-ness is kicking in, it's essential that I do not forget that. I believe there is still an opportunity to maintain the being within these activities on hand.

And in remembering the being, I believe I can answer yes to the following question:


Here comes the sun...here comes the week!
