Today we celebrate the birth of a little girl who would be called to become the Mother of her Creator, the Mother of God. Yet, she is born simply as a little girl, like the daughters and granddaughters we hold in our arms. We bestow upon her the most exalted and noble titles, such as Our Lady and Queen, but Godโs way was and remains simpler and quieter, yet no less powerful and transformative. It is the way of Jesus Himself. #NativityOfMary
In 1965, 50% of Catholic children in America went to Catholic schools.
Today it is less than 10% and we close nearly 100 Catholic schools every year.
But over the past decade there has been a rebirth of Catholic education. New Catholic schools are launching, and these schools have chucked the public school textbooks and assessments and are digging deep into the Catholic intellectual tradition and drawing students into the love of Christ through the Sacramental life of the Church. The future is bright.
BREAKING
The Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jersualem have issued a letter CONDEMNING 'damaging ideologies' such as 'Christian Zionism'
In a stunning statement, they lament those who 'have misled the public' and who have an agenda which 'may harm the Christian presence in the Holy Land ane the wider Middle East'
Thank You @JesuitTampaFL This was a blessing to share my experience of Godโs Glory with your boys. May the great Jesuit priest, St. Peter Claver Pray for Us. #AMDG
John Davidson, the principal at St. Peter Claver Catholic School, gave a special presentation this morning to Jesuit's African-American Club.
Davidson shared his experience growing up in Tampa, the life lessons he learned and those lessons he wishes he had absorbed sooner, and how the growth of his faith life has brought him happiness and joy.
Thank you principal Davidson for sharing your insight and wisdom with Jesuit's students!
Click below for a @TB_Times story by about Davidson and St. Peter Claver, which was founded in 1894 by the Jesuits, five years before Jesuit High School.

We just witnessed the world storming heaven with prayers for a Pope & an Athlete. Imagine having a prayer network to tap into immediately at any given moment. Rest assured because it exists. Itโs called the Communion of Saints.๐๐พ #prayer#Jesus#popebenedictxvi#DamarHamlinStrong
