Raising Saints, Forming Scholars

Join us as we plunge right into Book One! In particular, we will be mentioning how Augustine wrote his autobiography as a retelling of Virgil's Aeneid. (Don't forget, Virgil himself was retelling Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.) Would you like to learn more about how these three great authors provide the cornerstone for Western, Catholic literature, leading all the way to Dante in the Middle Ages?

Welcome to today's episode, where we dive into an important discussion on protecting kids from the potential pitfalls of addictive technology, including video games, social media, and other screens. While the topic may feel strong for some, we recognize every family's journey is unique, and there are many ways to approach screen time responsibly. Our aim here is to share insights from an organization that has seen success in helping families manage or even eliminate device dependency, offering practical ideas rooted in data and a balanced perspective. We hope this conversation serves as a resource for families striving for thoughtful, healthy media habits for their children in today’s digital world.

As we close our School's year long journey with The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, I hope this video will illuminate and clarify some of the themes we have mentioned throughout the year. While our focus has been on the children, as Pope Benedict XVI taught us, ultimately this book is for adults as it teaches us how abide in Christ’s love in childlike simplicity.

Dear Listeners,

In my eight years here at the school I have so often heard our children pray for an end to abortion. I have been moved by so many staff members and parishioners who devote themselves to the pro-life cause or have witnessed to me their own sacrifices for life. What a privilege it was to sit down and have a conversation with Mayra Rodriguez just before her presentation at our parish last month! I especially loved hearing about how the sidewalk prayer warriors were the force that led to her change in thinking.Mayra is a powerful advocate against abortion, a champion for women and the unborn, and is driven to expose the truth behind Planned Parenthood's dangerous practices. She credits the faith of those praying on the sidewalk and the Divine Mercy of God for her reversion to the Catholic faith and for the strength it took to stand against the abortion Goliath - and win.We hope you take the time to listen to this sobering, but also hopeful, episode.

Blessings,

Mrs. Martinez

In Mansion 7 we look at how Saint Teresa describes the differences between the betrothal and the spiritual marriage in the soul. The saint’s fascinating interpretation of Martha and Mary brings the seven mansions to a culmination. And finally, we look at how the teachings of St. John of the Cross complement those of Teresa and give some masculine insight into how both men and women are called to be the bride with Christ in this spiritual nuptial vision.
