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

An Alternative Christmas List

With holiday sales and online shopping hitting their all-time highs these weeks, it's time to stop and think.

Maybe this year it's time to consider an alternative Christmas list...

“Christmas Gift Suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect."
- Oren Arnold

As we prepare for the Christmas holidays, let's remember to not get so wrapped up in the stress and gifts that we forget the aforementioned "items" that should be on all of our lists.
