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

Learning and Love

Here are two thoughts I've come across via email this week that I want to share:

If only my students would remember this...
“Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.”
-Abigail Adams (1744-1818)

And Mother Teresa's never cease to offer simple truths...
"It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start."
-Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Happy Wednesday!
