Knowledge to Love
As summer’s heat subsides and vacation time is over, school begins for young and old. Summer is ending; education continues. St. Bernard of Clairvaux, founder of the Cistercian Abbey of Clairvaux and Doctor of the Church, wrote the following on knowledge:
“There are those who seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge; that is
Curiosity.
There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is
Vanity.
There those who seek knowledge in order to serve; that is
LOVE.
Today, I enter my second semester in the Villanova University VIISTA graduate certificate program in Immigration Advocacy –https://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/professionalstudies/continuingstudies/VIISTA.html.
My goal is to help one individual or one family through the immigration or asylum process. In that way, I will serve and love.
May all of you in your studies, strive to obtain knowledge to serve and therefore to love.
Peace, John
