It’s the Feast of the Guardian Angels—a perfect day to re-introduce students to the immanence of God and the reality of the spiritual life. Jonathan Doyle unpacks how modern “disenchantment” dulls wonder, why students are paradoxically open to the supernatural (just often the wrong kind), and how Catholic teachers can confidently present the Church’s rich, biblical teaching on guardian angels—with prayer, sources, and simple classroom moves.

You’ll learn:

A quick way to re-enchant lessons without going “woo-woo”

• The Church’s core teaching on guardian angels (and where to read more)
• A 10-minute lesson plan for today: Scripture → Catechism → the Angel of God prayer → student reflection
• How to connect angels to dignity, vocation, and daily discernment

Drawing on Cardinal John Ribat’s reminder that teachers are called to continue Christ’s work, Jonathan Doyle explores the Catholic educator’s vocation today: forming minds and touching hearts. From Lazarus-like hope to real classroom realities, we look at why literacy, numeracy, and excellence serve a Christological vision of the human person, and how your daily fidelity can lift students from poverty of spirit into genuine hope.

You’ll learn:

• Why Catholic identity makes academics matter more, not less
• How to “teach for hope”: language, prayer, sacramental life, and presence
• Simple ways to keep lessons rigorous and Christ-centered—without burnout

Yesterday’s Gospel of Lazarus and the rich man isn’t just about almsgiving—it’s a roadmap for Catholic education. Jonathan explores why the Church’s historic option for the poor must flow from a living encounter with Jesus Christ, not replace it. We look at real forms of poverty in our schools today—material, spiritual, emotional—and how teachers can serve them in Christ and through the grace of the Holy Spirit. Practical ideas for keeping social action explicitly Christ-centered in curriculum, culture, and pastoral care.

You’ll learn:

• How to frame social justice as a response to Christ, not a substitute for the Gospel
• Three “poverty lenses” (material, spiritual, psychological) for classroom practice
• Simple habits: daily prayer, sacramental life, language of dignity, and concrete mercy

This episode goes straight to the heart of Catholic identity in our schools. Drawing on Cardinal Gerhard Müller’s reminder that “the Church must always and everywhere confess Christ and lead people of goodwill to Him”—and that the redemption of the world is only in Jesus Christ through His sacramental Church—we unpack what this means for daily practice in classrooms and leadership. Jonathan contrasts secular humanism’s optimism about self-perfectibility with the Gospel’s call to grace, conversion, and mission. Practical takeaways help you bring a clear, Christ-centered presence to your students—even when wider systems drift.

You’ll learn:

• Why Catholic education fails if it becomes “humanism with a Catholic veneer”
• How to make Christ the principle of unity for culture, curriculum, and care
• Simple habits to keep your classroom explicitly Christ-centered (language, prayer, Sacraments, witness)
•

Today we zoom in on the heart of Catholic education: every human life bears unalienable dignity. Drawing on a recent papal remark and the doctrine of the Imago Dei, Jonathan unpacks what this means in classrooms and staffrooms: how we speak, how we correct, how we form culture. You’ll hear practical ways to recognize Christ in the “hardest to love,” build a community that refuses utilitarianism, and keep Catholic identity at the center of school life.

You’ll learn:

• Why Imago Dei is the engine of Catholic pedagogy
• How language, expectations, and mercy shape a school’s culture
• Daily practices to honor dignity—especially with difficult students/colleagues

On Padre Pio’s feast we explore how God “chisels” saints—and how Catholic educators share in that work. From Padre Pio’s image of souls as stones for an eternal dwelling to the Church’s reminder that “the teacher does not write on inanimate material, but on the very spirits of human beings,” this episode calls us to encourage, challenge, and form students toward holiness. Jonathan shares a personal story of a teacher’s tough love that changed his trajectory—and offers practical ways to partner with God in the daily grind: naming higher standards, having hard conversations, and rooting it all in prayer and the Sacraments.

In today's episode I want to share some insights from St. Augustine that come from the Divine Office. It's a chance to be reminded that lost sheep are just as lost today as they have ever been and you are, in fact, a shepherd! So many students are struggling in life and they need your kindness and presnece.

In today's episode I want to share an important insight from St. Augustine that we do out students a disservice if we dont tell them that life can be hard and that they need to firmly established in Christ to navigate the challenges that lie ahead.

Telling our students that 'being happy' is the goal of life will not do help them to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. We have a much bigger story to tell.

Today I want to share some insights from a crucial document on Catholic Education that reminds us about the ultimate purpose of all Catholic Education. In our very political and social media driven world it can be very easy for some people to think that there job is to indoctrinate kids with all sorts of ideologies. Let's get back to basics and remember exactly what it is that we are doing.
