“Catholic Schools—Dividends for Life” is the theme of this year’s annual celebration of the good work done by our nation’s Catholic Schools.

Education is an investment of time, energy, money, and discipline, as any parent knows! Catholic education holds the promise of life-long dividends in at least 4 areas:

Faith:  “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” (Mark 8:36). Our relationship with God may begin as a mustard seed, but it can end up affecting every part of our life and the lives of countless others, if we follow Saint Peter’s injunction to “grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).

Knowledge: As Pope Benedict XVI has noted, we rise to God on the wings of both faith and reason. God wants us to learn about His cosmos and to joyfully and confidently participate in using His gifts for the furtherance of His Kingdom. Education gives us the tools.

Morals: God has given each of us a conscience, and it is our responsibility to form our conscience in the light of the Holy Spirit, through the teachings of Our Lord and His Church, and the use of our natural reason. The moral virtues of prudence, temperance, fortitude, and justice help children grow into true servants of God, family, and country.

Discipline: A disciple is one who can be taught. Catholic schools help children to look upon the world with wonder and to look within themselves with hope in the God who will never forsake them. As C.S. Lewis said, “Many things have gone wrong with the world, and God insists on our putting them right again.”

Educare is the Latin word meaning to lead out of. All true education leads us out of darkness into Christ’s marvelous light, that we might fulfill His command: “You are the light of the world!” (Matthew 5:14).

The light shines in the darkness,and the darkness has not overcome it.
