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.

Third Sunday of Advent – December 11, 2016

Reading: Matthew 11:2-11

“‘Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.’”

We in Catholic schools should be open to the miracles that can occur in our classrooms. These miracles may not come in the form of spectacular cosmic displays, but they are there to observe nonetheless. Whenever a student grows closer to the Lord because of you, this is the work of the Holy Spirit, and therefore, a miracle occurring within our Catholic schools.

How are you open to hear and see?
