Lessons from Loyola Hall

I'm asking him to change his ways. At least, that's what Mr. Healey advises in fulfilling the third Spiritual Work of Mercy, which asks us to Admonish the Sinner. It's hardly an easy task, but it's best done by starting from within. For, as this weekend's readings show, if we do not repent, then we shall perish.

There is something really awesome about being connected to an institution whose appeal is so amazingly universal. Mr. Healey today recounts one example of how the community of Saint Ignatius appears in the most random of places and with the coincidental of encounters.

The Transfiguration is one of the most complex and symbol-laden events in all of the public ministry of Jesus. As Peter awakens, he knows he is supposed to do something, but his first suggestion is setting up tents for Jesus, Moses and Elijah. What can we learn from Peter's mistake?

Tuesday marks our annual Giving Day and, sure, there are incentives. But no one really gives because of the prizes. They give, writes Mr. Healey, because of the people who have made, make, and will continue to make Saint Ignatius a school that always strives to do all for the Greater Glory of God.
