St. Angela in her First Counsel wrote:
“Therefore, pray God to enlighten you,
direct you and teach you what you are to do for love of God in regard to this
responsibility; for there can be no nobler one than that of being a teacher of
the children of God. Remember, then, the
respect you owe them, because the more you respect them, the more you will love
them; and the more you love them, the better you will watch over and care for
them; and it will be impossible for you not to have them all engraven in your
hearts night and day, each one individually, for this is how true love
acts. Nor should you worry about this
responsibility. Instead you should
greatly thank God that you are permitted to be one of those who are allowed to
exhaust themselves in guiding and looking after such a precious charge. Have hope and firm faith in God who will help
you in all things.”
As the new school year begins let us
recall Angela’s words and know that she is still with us today!
