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

Fear and Hope (4/7/20)

"Fear...and Hope"
Poem of the Day - 4/7/20
Audio Version of Today's Poem

Sunrise, sunset
Days blur together
A long time separated from loved ones
Yet each day is closer to an end
And, hopefully, to some kind of solution

Prayers up daily
So many memes
(And not just of Lori Lightfoot 😅)
Cards in the mail
Zoom chats with family, friends, coworkers, and students

Struggles to find meaning and purpose
Anxiety over those all alone -
Especially those giving birth or at the end of life
No one should be by themselves
Heartbreaking stories
Mixed with stories of hope and love

It's not possible to always be a Pollyanna
But it is possible to balance fear with hope

Lord, we entrust our world to you
