As the schools reconvene and students, teachers and administrators begin anew their academic responsibilities, we pray for each one of them. We pray that students reject slothfulness and incompetence. We pray that teachers will begin each day with an enthusiasm to teach and find students with a willingness to learn. We pray that administrators will allocate the necessary resources to insure that quality education is available to everyone. In these days of austerity, we pray for the heavens to open and for none of our children to suffer lack. We pray for a strengthening of family bonds that will permit children to grow up in crucibles of care and safety. We pray for faith communities that are committed to the well-being of children and their learning. We pray that everyone realizes that children matter in God's divine plan. Amen.
