SPEAKING OUT IN LOVE
In the final verses of today’s Gospel reading Jesus says that when two or three are gathered in his name, “there am I in the midst of them” (MaƩhew 18:20). So we understand that fraternal correcƟon is always undertaken in the presence of Jesus Christ.
Likewise, encouraging the good in others is not only the right thing for us to do, it is a necessity. The LORD
tells the prophet Ezekiel that if he does not speak out to dissuade a person from evil, then he too will be held responsible. We live in a “do your own thing” age where moral objecƟvity is oŌen ignored. Clearly when the message we share with others is rooted in love, our moƟves cannot ever be misinterpreted. As Saint Paul writes, “Love does
no evil to the neighbor; hence, love is the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13:10).

HABLAR CON AMOR
En los versículos finales del Evangelio de hoy Jesús dice que cuando dos o tres se reúnen en su nombre, “yo estoy ahí en medio de ellos”. Por eso entendemos que las correcciones fraternales siempre se hacen con Jesús presente ante nosotros. De la misma manera, animar el bien en otros no es sólo lo correcto, sino que es una necesidad. El Señor le dice al profeta Ezequiel que “si no habla” para que la persona se aparte de su mala vida, él también tendrá que rendir cuenta.
Vivimos en una época en que “hacemos lo que queremos” donde la moralidad objeƟva se ignora. Claramente cuando el mensaje que comparƟmos con otros se hace por amor, nuestros moƟvos no pueden mal interpretarse. Como san Pablo ya lo dice: “Con el amor, no se hace ningún mal al prójimo. Por eso en el

The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color or national and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them.
