“Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.” Luke 12: 48
This scripture passage is a powerful reminder of the many gifts we are provided on a daily basis. As disciples of Jesus, we are entrusted with responsibilities beyond our own needs. With Thanksgiving next week — and the Christmas season just around the corner — we reflect upon the meaning behind the holidays that reminds us to acknowledge the wonderful gifts of family, friends, and community.
But, much more is entrusted to us.
As a Catholic educational community, we strive to model to and for each other the teachings of our Lord on a daily basis. The upcoming holiday season is rapidly descending upon us and we are reminded how easily it can become overwhelmed by the urgency to meet expectations. With so many gifts we receive daily, we often forget to stop and give thanks for the many blessings we have in our lives.
On behalf of our Saint Joe family, I wish you and your family a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.
Peace and blessings,
