Where Two or Three are Gathered
Jesus said, “Where two or three have gathered together in my name, I am there in their midst” (Matthew 18:20). Jesus didn’t say that ministry would be best in large groups. He encouraged small groups of believers to come together.
Meeting Students in Love and Walking in Faith
“Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28: 18-20).
Running the Race
As I watched my son compete in a cross country race this weekend, I realized that cross country reminds me about perseverance in prayer life. Both share the need for discipline, sacrifice, and commitment without the need for elaborate tools. What is expected is that you show up even when it’s hard or your tired and trust that God will meet you there. Just as a runner commits to daily practice, prayer is the connection that our heart desires with Christ.
Divine Mercy
Confessing our sins regularly helps transform or hearts and minds as disciples of Christ who truly love the Lord and want to be closer to Him with the goal of being with Him for eternity in Heaven. Accompanying students in this sacrament is not about shame or fear, it is about allowing them to mature in their faith walk and recognize that our sins matter to God, but more importantly, He wants to pour out his grace upon us.
“All the people said Amen!”
Celebrating Mass and receiving the Body of Christ is like a breath of fresh air for our community. It’s not a school event or an obligation, but the heartbeat of our Catholic identity. Making the liturgy a true priority in the rhythm of our school life sets the tone for everything else we do in a Catholic school. As Campus Ministers and Catholic school leaders, we are called not only to help students attend the liturgy, but to teach them how to live from it.
