Some Thougts on Mission and Learning

"Evangelization is inseparable from professional teaching ever since the Word became flesh. Not even Eternal Wisdom could remain within the theological center of the Trinity, but He became a roaming teacher, and itinerant Instructor. Nature decreed that certain things kept to themsleves spoil. Almost everything in the universe was made to be spent. Wealth hoarded makes it keeper a miser. Learning for the sake of learning makes the student proud. University professors desiccate by never making their knowledge available to those who do not sit at desks. The Logos or Word of God taking a child on His lap will forever remain the misison of education--to share it as wealth must be shared." --Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
