"In high school, I had an excellent American Literature teacher. Let's call him Mr. Mario Monti.
"Mr. Monti showed us he cared. He
prepared his lessons. He encouraged questions. He cracked jokes. He also
corrected us. Mr. Monti kept things interesting … even the poem, Huswifery.
He'd have us pray to JC and the Boys (the Apostles). He conducted his
classroom with authority and ease. Above all else, he loved teaching and
he loved us. We all loved him in return. Long before I got there, he
was a school legend.
"Mr. Monti had a most memorable ritual
for dismissing class. When the bell rang and we were packing up our
books, he'd say with a smile, 'Remember, God loves you and so does Mr.
Monti.' We all would loudly respond, 'In that order!'"
In a recent commentary, Brother Josemaría Guzmán-Domínguez, O.P., reflected on the need for love and on how God loves us first.
