“We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.” - St. Teresa of Calcutta
Notable and prolific Catholic author and speaker Matthew Kelly, in his books and videos is consistently invoking this theme of becoming the best version of ourselves. In fact, Kelly calls this our “essential purpose.”
As the author of over two dozen books and numerous popular videos, Kelly challenges all of us to go deeper into our faith life, believe in the power of prayer and unlock our abundant human capabilities.
At Catholic Vitality 360, through our ELEVATE Leadership Coaching Process, we invite all those working in the ministry of Catholic education to find their passion and purpose and to live a life of hope, abundance, service and gratitude.
As Catholic doctrine teaches, we are made by our creator God in His image, endowed with many gifts, recognizing the sacred dignity of every human person. Our baptismal call, and our greatest fulfillment is to serve God, the Church and others.
For Catholic school leaders, there is a strong desire to build a culture of vitality and growth that sustains the stated mission and vision. We wish to be part of a spirit-filled and Christ-centered community that promotes high standards of excellence and the moral good. We desire more than just a job, but a special vocation that contributes greatly to uplifting people’s lives and building the Kingdom of God.
This elevated mindset requires seeing the value of maintaining our passion and purpose each day, every month and throughout the school year. Based on the Passion and Purpose Exercise (see worksheet below), your own passion and purpose lies within the intersection of these key aspects of your spiritual, family and work life. As a journey of self-discovery and understanding, this exercise seeks to clarify your passion and to be mindful each day of your purpose.
