Faith gives us hope--hope in all the we do and in all we encounter. Ideally, this hope leads to love, which in turn leads back to faith.
For me, living must somehow include faith and love because it is what allows us to live more fully so that we may live in light of our gospel call.
I think of today's gospel: the parable of the Good Samaritan. If we are to be good Samaritans are we not required to have faith and love? A faith and love that is rooted in the gospel. After all, the gospel itself is rooted in faith and love.
As Brothers, educators, our salvation of young people is centered around the faith and love found in the gospels. A salvation that allows young people to live more fully.
To bring faith and love to our students, we must be rooted in the gospel, in love, and in faith--for it is the way to live. Jesus said, "I came so that they may have life and have it more abundantly."
Let us live abudantly in faith and love.
