The Power of Possibility

On the Road

The beginning of a new catechetical or school year brings both opportunities and options. You are empowered to make changes, to rededicate yourself to this ministry, to set new goals, and to nurture your own spiritual development. Open your mind to what the needs of your community and family are. Listen with your heart to the will of God and allow his Word to direct your actions. Tap into the energetic spirit of this new beginning. This is the power of possibility that God has provided for you.

Encounter

“To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often” (John Henry Cardinal Newman).

“Even before a word is on my tongue, / O LORD, you know it completely. / You hem me in, behind and before. / and lay your hand upon me. / Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; / it is so high that I cannot attain it” (Psalm 139: 4-6).
