We spend much of our lives trying to get from “point A” to “point B.” Sometimes those points represent physical places, and we can measure the miles between them. At other times, the points represent states of mind or character; vices which we are striving to leave behind and virtues which we are striving to adopt.
But whether we are driving to visit relatives on the other side of the country or attempting to reform our character, we rarely make the journey in a single day. “God steers a moving ship,” the saying goes. Move ahead by the light you have and before long the next light will appear. The key is to keep moving.
In a time of pandemic, our forward motion can become complicated. Yesterday evening I began a precautionary quarantine after meeting with an off-season coach who later tested positive for COVID-19. Like I ask of each of you, I reported to Dr. Tovar and am following her directions. I will work from home until I can be tested five days after the point of exposure. Though for the next few days I will miss seeing you all—students and parents—in carline, halls, and classrooms, I am moving forward with you in spirit.
Keep moving, Crusaders.
Let us continue to pray for one another. Our Lady of The Atonement—pray for us.
