The Incarnational Mission

We are still in the Christmas season and in the midst of celebrating the Incarnation of our Lord and Savior. The incarnation is a launching pad moving us into this next semester and onward because Catholic education must be incarnational. In Mr Schreiber’s last lecture night, he fleshed out that the Incarnational is the belief that truth is not abstract but became flesh in Jesus Christ. This means education is embodied — it involves real relationships, real encounters with beauty, real moral formation, and the shaping of real human beings. Teachers and parents participate in this incarnational mission by making the faith tangible through words, actions, and the culture we create at home and school.

Though the Christmas season is a little on the shorter side, every time education is embodied—with Christ at the center—we can share in the Christmas joy.
