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

When you got a good thing going on...

Don't let it end, right?

This is exactly why my Living the Eucharist Thursday night faith-sharing group has decided to keep meeting (on a less frequent basis) - and I couldn't be more excited about this opportunity. I was discussing with one of the other women before our meeting started about how we really did get a solid group of people together - everyone was so open, vulnerable, knowledgeable, and honest. Our meetings have been refreshing and hope-giving, a real highlight to my weeks of Lent. Tonight, I truly felt myself filled with gratitude for my group members.

And the idea of keeping our group going serves as a reminder that my Lenten promises and actions do not need to end as this season comes to a close. In fact, as my students were reminded at their retreat this morning, we should all look for ways to keep our Lenten promises going throughout the year to help us continue to grow closer to God.

God is good...all the time...

Amen.
