FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK

Dear Friends,
Tempus
Fugit- Time Flies. Years ago, I first noticed an old man gazing lovingly
at his wife of many decades. She was as old as he, wrinkled by the sun,
and bowed by age and infirmity but in his face you could tell he was seeing a
vision of wonder and excellence, of exquisite refinement and breath taking
beauty. For the many years together had taught him to see far more than
just with his eyes, he could see who she truly was; he could see all of
her.
What
makes us truly beautiful lies not merely in our appearance but in our
character, in the tales of virtue and diligence which grace our story.
Each year, every day we can become far more beautiful if we take the time to
love better, to serve with more diligence to care for those in need and to seek
the face of God.
Not
always does one seek the face of God, we make ourselves ugly by pride and
arrogance, by crudeness and meanness and by crassness and laziness. For
this reason we need to be grateful for forgiveness, the most ennobling
action. For in confession we find restoration and the ability to
grow. Let us encourage our students to avail themselves of the sacrament
and to see Christ in each other not as static displays but as a dynamic
individuals capable to move from glory to glory until that day we see Christ
with our own eyes.
