A Spiritual Backpack for Educators
“Teach everyone that many years of constant work are necessary, with successes and failures, if we are to gain sufficient experience and yield mature fruit. At each and every moment, our hearts must be set on the Lord. Where our treasure is, that’s where our heart must be.”
ST. JOSEMARIA ESCRIVA
