Dear Assumption Catholic Schools,

Another week draws to a close.  I want to thank everyone involved in our Catholic education mission.  Without your efforts, we could not do what we do.

I ask that God continue to bless you with health and happiness and that for all those suffering from illness, natural disaster or man made troubles that God be a strength of hope and promise.

Our virtue this week is Fidelity

Thank you, Lord, for this day, this opportunity,
this time together.
Strengthen our wills and forge our resolve to be
FAITHFUL in our pursuit of excellence in every area of
our life.

This week our strength building on the virtue of Faith
is FIDELITY.
The strength to be steadfast in one’s commitments
and promises.
Another word for FIDELITY is Faithfulness.
Being FAITHFUL is a wonderful strength.
It enables us to be true to what matters most in life
even when we may not feel like it.

Matthew 25: 19-21
“After a long time the master of those servants
came back and settled accounts with them.
The one who had received five talents came
forward bringing the additional five.
He said, ‘Master, you gave me five talents.
See, I have made five more.’
His master said to him, ‘Well done, my good and
faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small
matters, I will give you great responsibilities.
Come, share your master’s joy”

“My greatest happiness is to be before the
Blessed Sacrament, where my heart is, as it were,
in Its center.”
– St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

“Moral principles do not depend on
a majority vote.
Wrong is wrong, even if everybody is wrong.
Right is right, even if nobody is right.”
– Bishop Fulton J. Sheen

The opposing vice

INFIDELITY
THE WEAKNESS TO NOT BE FAITHFUL TO ONE’S COMMITMENTS AND PROMISES.

EXAMPLES OF INFIDELITY
Breaking promises.
Not keeping your word.
Not following team/school/group rules.
Failing to admit or own up to mistakes.
Telling lies

CLOSING PRAYER
Lord God, You didn’t run at the first sign of chaos or
difficulty.
You showed us how to be FAITHFUL, sacrificial, loving
and truthful.
We want to live like You!
We want to live for You and for others.
Help us to be FAITHFUL to You no matter the sacrifice
or circumstance.

Have a great weekend

In Christ’s Peace,

Daniel Minter
