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

It's Simple

It's easy
to get caught up
in the
day
to
day

CRAZINESS

that we forget
sometimes
to look for the little things,
beautiful in their own
simple ways.

But it is in these moments
of recognition
that we remember
there is so much more
than just
today.

There is so much more
than just
ourselves.

Thank you,
Lord,
for simple joys and beauty.
Help us to treasure all things
and people,
great
and small,
as precious gifts,
for we are caretakers
of this Earth,
now
and in future generations.
Amen.
