Today at Central Catholic High School, we welcomed the class of 2018...the numbers are staggering...371 students, graduating in four years when the world and all of us will be older. We trust that these young people will be wiser, as we ourselves pursue increased wisdom. Looking back at what can happen in this four year period is a reminder that God's ways are not our ways, and truly the wisdom of God is wiser than ours. Each student is different and comes in at a different level of maturity. It never ceases to amaze us how the clown or the trouble maker turns around, behaviors change, and how well on the road to adulthood, with a firm foundation in values they leave us. It makes us realize that each of us is not shaped by the same cookie cutter, for if we were all the same, how bland would be our world, but the values we cherish, hold dear and essential take root in individuals who incorporate them according to who they are. What joy in diversity, like looking at a field of wildflowers, all different plants and colors, yet all beautiful, individually and as a whole.
Praise God for calling us to help shape each individual and bring out the best and most beautiful in each of them.
