Amidst our daily work it’s easy to forget the big picture. What, exactly is it that we are trying to do? This week we share an idea of what it can look like.
The documents state ‘Thus a relationship is built up which is both human and divine; there is a flow of love and also of Grace. And this will make the Catholic school truly authentic. As the years go by students will have the joy of seeing themselves nearing maturity; not only physically, but also intellectually and spirituality. When they look back, they will realise that, with their cooperation, the educational objectives of the school have become a reality. And as they look forward, they will feel free and secure, because they will be able to face the new, and now proximate life commitments (The Religious Dimension of Education in a Catholic School 112)’.
If we pray for each other, our schools can become truly authentic Catholic communities, they also become incredible witnesses for people about another way of life.
