In ancient Rome, teachers of boys had to resign their posts in order to become catechumens, since the educa on of boys was so keyed to the lore and worship of the gods. In other ages, public educa on has been so a uned to other values that crea ve solu ons have arisen. In late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Ireland, government schools had a goal of Anglicizing the Irish in culture and religion. Most Irish Catholics opted out in favor of hedge schools. In these largely secret schools, mee ng not just in the shadow of hedges but also in co ages and barns throughout Ireland, schoolmasters provided eager students with a classical educa on grounded in Greek and La n, Irish literature, the banned Gaelic language, and the catechism of the Church. The so called penal laws forbade Catholics from teaching young people publicly or privately, and civil disobedience ruled the day. In 1826, a Bri sh government study showed that of half a million Irish children enrolled in schools, 403,000 were in hedge schools! A woman named Nano Nagle defied the law by opening schools for the poor. Eventually her companions became the Presenta on Sisters. A layman named Edmund Rice, inspired by her courage, founded the Irish Chris an Brothers for the same purpose. By 1820, the situa on eased, since Irish Catholics had shown that they would defy any law that diminished their love of learning and threatened their faith. Rev. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. Holy Father's Prayer Intentions for October, 2018 Evangelization: The Mission of Religious That consecrated religious men and women may bestir themselves, and be present among the poor, the marginalized, and those who have no voice. NOT AGAINST US L ike Moses before him, Jesus corrects his disciples misunderstanding of the gi of the Spirit. They saw people who were not of their company cas ng out demons and doing other works such as Jesus had done. Jesus points out that no one who does a good deed in his name can be opposed to him at the same me. He goes on to point out the importance of the li le ones, : the poor, simple people, children, the meek ones who are not important in the world. It is to them that he was sent, not to the wealthy and the self righteous. He underscores the importance of small works done in faith, as well as big works like driving out demons. Anyone who gives you a cup of water... because you belong to Christ... will surely not lose his reward (Mark 9:41). God builds the coming reign li le by li le in our ac ons, however small and unassuming, when they are done out of love of God and neighbor. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
