Catholic School Educators: Call to Discipleship
NCEA is pleased to share its new weekly reflection series “Catholic School Educators: Call to Discipleship” for the new liturgical year. This series shares reflections for educators contributed by Justin McClain, teacher at Bishop McNamara High School and author of Called to Teach: Daily Inspiration for Catholic Educators. The weekly reflections are a regular feature in our Friday Weekly Round Up blog posts on www.nceatalk.org – check back each Friday for a new weekly reflection.
Fourth Sunday of Advent – December 18, 2016
Reading: Matthew 1:18-24
“‘Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel, which means ‘God is with us.”
God is in our Catholic schools: in the charitable acts of our students, in the collegiality of our co-workers, and in myriad other ways. From a sacramental framework, Jesus is present in the Eucharist: his body, blood, soul, and divinity. Indeed, how bold it is for us to recognize within our Catholic educational institutions that Jesus Christ is Emmanuel, “God with us.”
As we prepare for Christmas, do you recall the privilege that you have to highlight the Good News daily in your school?
