Bishop Watterson Wednesday News

August 12, 2015
Dear Parents,
Years ago a mom gave this to me at one of our Mothers' Club Board meetings. It was inspiring to me and I wanted to share it with you as we celebrate the Feast of the Assumption of Mary into heaven.
"Mary's humility shined through despite the privilege of being the Mother of God.
Mary's love of neighbor is demonstrated in her tender compassion for the souls of her children here on earth.
Mary's obedience is most beautifully illustrated in the Annunciation. When God asked, Mary answered "I will".
Mary lovingly trusted in God.
Mary's purity is shone forth in her modesty and meekness.
Mary's courage was demonstrated by her trust in God at many times.
Mary was unfailingly patient in all the sufferings she underwent.
Mary's faith was constant.
Mary's hope was most beautifully shone at the Wedding Feast at Cana when she told the servants, "Do whatever He tells you."
Mary had a zeal for the glory of God. Her love of God was perfect and her will was completely conformed to His.
During this school year, let us follow the example of our Blessed Mother.
Enjoy your week.
Sincerely,
Marian Hutson
Principal
