I have the best (the BEST) family and friends ever.
I sent an email asking one main question - "Why do you go to Mass?" - in the hopes that these honest, real responses will provide a ground for discussion with my students tomorrow. (Heck, it may even make some consider weekend Mass more than they do now.)
And check out the responses I got! (Don't worry, they are anonymous.) I am overwhelmed!
(The right column is suggestions for how to make it real & meaningful to the students. If you have any comments or suggestions, please leave them below.)
Honestly, I am blessed beyond words. I love being around people of such strong faith and conviction.
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
