Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest...

Every Tuesday, right after celebrating Mass with the academy students, I teach a Scripture course to several of the Upper Scholars.  We've finished going throught the Acts of the Apostles.  Now we're having a look at St. Paul's First Epistle to the Thessalonians. 

It's great to see these students really getting into the scriptures, and it's like light bulbs going off as they relate things St. Paul is writing the the Church in Thessalonica to things they read about in Acts.  I really enjoy helping them put these scriptures in historical and theological context. 

Honestly, it should be against the law to be having such a good time...

Great work, Father. I have always thought that students become imbued through the love the teacher has for the subject. That is obviously true in your case, imho

Thank goodness it's not aganst the law. It is definitely fulfilling.
