Children don't have to be geniuses in these areas. It doesn't have to be something that you see so much potential, but something that speaks to them, and we can use that to help them learn in other areas.

Our emphasis will be that all the classes will be taught with an arts-integrated curriculum so we can use that as an innovative tool of teaching and hopefully reach students that way.

In future, children won't perceive the stars as mere twinkling points of light: they'll learn that each is a 'Sun', orbited by planets fully as interesting as those in our Solar system.

Our real work is prayer. What good is the cold iron of our frantic little efforts unless first we heat it in the furnace of our prayer? Only heat will diffuse heat.

Our Lord did not try to alter circumstances. He submitted to them. They shaped his life and eventually brought him to Calvary. I believe we miss opportunities and lovely secrets our Lord is waiting to teach us by not taking what comes.

The assumption that everybody wants a bundle is flawed.
