How is the world different because of my life? Have I left this world a better place than when I entered it – or not? What impact have I made? What will be my legacy? There is something innate in us that makes us search for meaning and for purpose and with a desire to make a difference. Mother Teresa, who is quoted above, did not perform acts of charity or care for the poor, the sick and the dying as a way to achieve fame, but rather because it was the right thing to do – the only thing to do in her mind – as she saw the face of Jesus Christ in those she cared for. She was truly an embodiment of the love of God and her impact on the world continues to be felt. I have long been proud of the various accomplishments of our students and alumni. Many of them have done truly remarkable things and have made a difference. However, nothing impresses me more than when a Prep student or alumnus makes a difference through the service they do for others and when they do it for no other purpose than because they wanted to make a difference. That is the attitude that we strive to instill in all of our students at Cathedral Prep. As I read through the stories of our students and alumni within this issue of the Cathedral Prep Magazine, I am both humbled and inspired by the impact they have made and continue to make in the world. Although their endeavors are wide and varied, the common thread through all of them is the service that they have done for others. As such, they have used their God-given talents, skills and opportunities to make a difference – to make an impact on the world. Like Mother Teresa, they in their own way have become that “little pencil” of God who is working through them to send a message of love and compassion to the world. I hope you will not only enjoy reading these stories as much as I have, but also be inspired to make a difference in the world and thus become a “little pencil” in the hand of a writing God. Mary, Queen of Prep, pray for us! Fr. Scott W. Jabo President “I am a little pencil in the hand of a writing God who is sending a love letter to the world.” – Mother Teresa © 2013 Copyright of Cathedral Preparatory School. All rights reserved.
