In celebration of teachers everywhere, I’ll direct you to the 11th century saint, Bruno of Cologne (Feast: Oct. 6), a teacher of Pope Urban II and founder of the Carthusians Order.  In his own words:
 

“While the world changes, the Cross stands firm.”

“By your work, you show what you love and what you know.”

“In the solitude and silence of the wilderness, for their labor in the contest, God gives his athletes the reward they desire:  a peace that the world does not know, and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
