He is pleased to give you the kingdom
“Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom.”
This passage from Sunday’s Gospel rocked my world back in 2012. I was on a three day silent retreat and the Bible in my room was open to this passage, so I figured I would just sit with it. Over those three days, the Lord started to take the scales from my eyes and reveal to me the incredible love God has for me. This passage pierced through all of my fears and anxieties. It got to the very root of my understanding of God’s goodness. Because there were often times in my life that I could speak about God’s goodness in a general way or as it applied to other people’s lives, but I rarely felt that God’s goodness was something that was directed towards me. This is where the passage quoted above started to shift my understanding. It is not that God simply loves me and is good. But rather He is PLEASED to give me the kingdom! He wants to give me the kingdom. He can’t wait to give me the kingdom. There is nothing I can do to earn the kingdom. Sometimes we complicate it. Sometimes we disbelieve it and think I have to work for it. Sometimes life comes crashing down on us or our circumstances always seem to point the other way, so we resign that “God is good” but not to me. This passage brings all those walls to the ground! He delights to give you the gift of the kingdom. And when we start to accept this, when we start to delight in Him delighting in us, then we no longer become afraid to give Him our yes. Then, we are no longer afraid to walk where He calls us because He is the GOOD SHEPHERD and we are indeed His little flock.

Que opinan nuestros alumnos sobre la escuela?
“I love JP2 because of technology class. The activity that I enjoyed was coding because I had never learned about that before. We also have projects about computers. My partner and I picked a subject. We chose IP addresses. We explained what an IP address is and the history about IP addresses. We also talked about how dangerous it is to share your IP address and how hackers can ruin whatever someone is working on. I really enjoyed technology class.” -7th Grader, North Campus
“I love JP2 because the teachers and staff are really considerate and are always there to listen. Even though they get the respect of being teachers, it’s fun to have conversations to break those barriers down.” -8th Grader, South Campus
We are now accepting registrations for the 2019-2020 school year!
