"Where charity and
love prevail there God is ever found..."
From the Desk of Mrs. Dellino,
Principal
March 12, 2008
Dear St. Monica School Families,
This Lenten
season, as you think about the troubles that surround the world and you,
ponder on St. Paul’s words in Corinthians, “Love never fails.” When St.
Paul said “never” he didn’t mean sometimes, he meant “never” and he
learned this from the greatest teacher of all---Jesus. Throughout the
world we see everyday, contending forces of good and evil. love and
hatred. God’s love is the only force that can truly hold us all
together. Lent is traditionally a time to give up something. Let us
work at giving up any form of evil; hatred, violence, verbal abuse,
resentments, prejudice, and discrimination. Let the words of St. Francis
be our guide, “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is
hatred, let me sow love.”
