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

Did YOU know...?

Where would Christmas be without Jesus' mother? Here's my #6:

Mary, Did You Know? 


(If the video above does not work, try here --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiaZYZor6vI&feature=player_embedded)

Why it makes the list: I have a confession - this song will always hold a special place in my heart for two reasons: 1- I can still see my lovely sign language club offering up this song as a prayer to Our Lady of Guadalupe last year (and my own mom was there to watch too); 2- Because of the Salesians, I will never wander far from Mary's presence and prayers - pray for us!

Does this beautifully written song hold a special place in your heart too? It is the story of both Mary and Jesus. It is a perfect reminder of why we celebrate Christmas...
