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

"Judas" (Fitting for Spy Wednesday)

"Judas"
Poem of the Day - 4/8/20
Audio Version of Today's Poem

Judas -
A most despised name in our faith
For he gave Jesus over to be killed
Why did he do it?

For money?
30 pieces of silver doesn't seem equal
To the life of a dear friend and teacher

Out of desire for the kingdom?
Jesus would surely resist
And be the king the Jews were promised
Showing true power

Did he have free will?
Or, if Judas hadn't betrayed him,
Would it have been someone else?

It's easy to sit in judgment
Of Judas
Of anyone
But, when it comes down to it
How do we know what we would have done?
