BART'S BUZZ
December 2, 2021
Dear Academy Families, Friends and Supporters of ASB
One of my 7th grade students came up to me and exclaimed, "Mrs. Manos, I love Advent. I love patiently waiting for Christmas to arrive. From the mouth of babes God shares with me a beautiful message about patiently waiting for the arrival of prayers answered, blessings and the celebration of the birth of Christ.
As a Catholic, one of my most favorite lessons I have learned is how Mary's "YES" changed the world. Mary could have said, "I am sorry but I am not up for this, get someone else to do it." She didn't. Instead as recorded in Luke 1:46-55, "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.....".
During this Advent season, I pray that all of us find our "YES" to God and serve Him and each other with kindness and love.
"At this Christmas when Christ comes, will He find a warm heart? Mark the season of Advent by loving and serving the others with God's own love and concern."
- Mother Teresa (St Teresa of Calcutta).
May God continue to shower us with His Grace and Love,
Chrystal L. Manos, Principal
