** Michael Kearney was homeschooled by his parents. At one point, he was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, though his parents declined to prescribe any medication for it.
Michael simply went on to graduate from high school at age six, from junior college at age eight, and he received his Bachelor’s degree from the University of South Alabama at age ten. By the time Michael Kearney was seventeen, he had completed two seperate Master’s Degrees and was teaching classes at Vanderbilt University. Imagine that, such a young person as a teacher.
Jesus has just begun his ministry. So far as we can tell, he only has four of the disciples, James, John, Andrew and Simon Peter. On the Sabbath, Jesus calmly walks into the Temple, sits down, and begins teaching. Immediately, you can sense the elders anger and ridicule over this “youngster” teaching among them. Impossible they say. What could he know about the Laws? Only when Jesus removes an unclean spirit from another man do the others begin to take serious note of him, and “his fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee”.
It is said that our lives should be spent in continuous pursuit of knowledge, that we never stop learning. Jesus Christ’s mission on earth was one of a teacher, and those who follow him will always be learning. The Catechism of the Catholic church tells us that Jesus is like a wise teacher, who leads us progressively towards an intimate relationship with God through prayer (CCC 2607). Likewise, just as we are disciples of Christ, our mission is to teach others to grow in faith, hope and charity along with us.
Today, pray for an open mind and heart to the teachings of Jesus Christ.**
