To Teach as Jesus Did:

Catholic Education in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee

December 22, 2014

“Christmas 2014”

“The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom
a light has shone.”  Isaiah 9: 1

As winter starts
 

and days slowly lengthen,
 

we finish our Advent time together,
 

as Catholic school communities,
 

and prepare our homes and our hearts
 

for the Christmas Feast.
 

We give thanks for the faith
 

that kept us focused in times of darkness during 2014,
 

for the hope
 

that helps us face the new year with resolve,
 

and for the Love whose birth among us
 

we celebrate and share,


teaching always and in all ways,
 

as Jesus did.

 

A blessed Christmas season to all!
