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

God's calling...

In our classroom, we LOVE kid-friendly language.

So, when it came time to defining a vocation, simply stated it means "a call from God."

Is it possible to have more than one vocation? we asked Fr. Pat (our pastor).

Absolutely - it's all about recognizing our talents (and God's gentle whisper in our ears) to best serve God and others.

Are you a good listener? Do you like animals? What about helping others - are you happy when you do that? What makes your heart truly happy when you are doing it?

 These questions and more are ones Fr. Pat put the students' way today. And they are questions we should all consider from time to time.

Our vocation is constant - God's calling...Are you ready to answer?


P.S. Don't forget to sign up and vote (daily, if you're able) for my photos on the National Wildlife Federation website - the vote count just restarted for the week: http://www.nwf.org/PhotoContest/PhotoContestHome.aspx?perma=kfoyle11@gmail.com
