"How we educate the mind will change with the times; how we cultivate the heart is and will remain timeless." // Bl. Basil Moreau #catholicschoolsweek

Happy #CatholicSchoolsWeek! To all of our Holy Cross educators, we are blessed by your vocational call to educate the head and the heart, a vocational call shared by thousands of educators at Holy Cross Missions in 16 countries around the globe.

Following in the spirit of Bl. Basil Moreau, may we continue to burn with love for Christ and His Church--today and always--seeking to place the good of others before our own.

"Seeing with the eyes of Christ, [we] can give to others much more than their outward necessities; [we] can give them the look of love which they crave." // Pope Benedict XVI

How will you go out to meet your neighbor and build up the Kingdom of God this week?

Happy Feast Day of Blessed Basil Moreau!
