Appropriately for those of us engaged in education, Paul's reminder that we "are all children of light and children of the day." (1 Thess 5:5). There is academic light that we must let shine for the next 9 months, but more importantly, the light of FAITH must cast away the darkness encroaching on all sides from our materialistic and relativistic culture. True light comes from TRUTH; Jesus has told his he is the Way the TRUTH and the life. (cf. Jn 14:5). Our mission, then is really to introduce our students to Jesus and further, in our Marist tradition, to make him loved.. How, but loving the students, all of them equally, as St. Marcellin repeated endlessly. All of us, parents, teachers, doctors, firemen, policemen, can do this, MUST do this. "This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine." Amen!
