A thought for the nineteenth week of Ordinary Time
From today's gospel: "Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more."
De La Salle (Med. 205.1, 205.2): "Because he is the One who has given you the ministry you exercise . . . each will give his own account to God of what he has done as a minister of God and as a dispenser of his mysteries for children. . . Have you up to the present regarded the salvation of your students as your personal responsibility during the entire time they are under your guidance?"
It is a privilege to teach the young people of San Miguel. We are here because we have our own gifts that will enhance their education. But as we evaluate what we do, are we using all that we have been given? Are we assessing our actions in the light of the salvation of our students?
Live, Jesus, in our hearts!
