Men For Others

Hey guys, I'm back. I was on vacation touring some colleges, but now I'm back and ready to talk about holiness! The thing that I want to talk about today happened a few days ago during a lacrosse game. We were playing a conference game against Memorial High School, and we all expected it to be a good game. During the game, there was a little trash talking going on between the teams. One of the kids on the other team had a prosthetic leg, and some of my teammates started making fun of him. After the game this came to the attention of our coaches, and they were pretty upset about it. One of our coaches said that if we learn anything from going to school at Strake Jesuit, it should be learning how to be a man for others.

This is the motto of our school, and Jesuit schools everywhere

This can be related to holiness because we didn't act very Christ-like and holy during our game. We were trash talking the other team and making fun of their players. This was completely unnecessary, but we did it anyway. If we focus on being holy during our simple, everyday activities, like a lacrosse game, we can become one step closer to becoming like Christ.
