Principal's Letter
February 15, 2019
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:16
On Monday we celebrate Presidents’ Day. Legends about two prominent presidents, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, have developed over time emphasizing the virtue of honesty. We speak of “honest Abe” and tell the story about George Washington and the cherry tree.
The virtue of honesty results from the gift of knowledge. This gift of the Holy Spirit enables us to learn about the truths of our faith. Knowledge teaches us basic doctrines, which assist us in actions and decisions. Through this gift we are better able to see the truth, to know the truth, and to act on the truth. We become persons embracing honesty as a life style at home, at work, and in the community.
Yet, this virtue is not meant to be harsh or abrasive in relationships with others. Honesty is the virtue built on deep-rooted principles so that gentle words and actions guide us and others to live in accord with Jesus, who is the Truth.
This week let us resolve that this knowledge will manifest itself in our honest relationships with everyone we meet each day as we build the Kingdom of God in our small part of the world.
