“Anyone who educates is a lover, a lover, who will never let go of love! If we are not prepared today to be these passionate, loving educators, then the world will sweep us away with ease. We might be very skilled at lots of things, but we won’t bring forth new life. When you really educate, you will always bring forth new life.

“All the love that is within me – night and day – is focused on one, single question: How can I serve those in my care? Whenever the time is right, I can take a back seat and let my children follow their own chosen path.

“The real educator is the one who feels the greatest inner joy, when our children do better that we have ever done.”

Fr Joseph Kentenich, Founder of the Schoenstatt movement

Dear Lord,?
Remain always ?with us
so that we may become ?real educators?
who will never betray ?their love.? Amen.
