Most Parishes are starting up their PSR programs for the 2017/18 school year. As Catechists, that means we are planning and preparing as well. Now is as good a time as any to think about how you will open that first class. The prayer that follows is a wonderful way to begin the first day back in PSR and remind your students that we indeed must be thankful for the opportunity to gather together and learn more about our Lord and Savior – something that is not available to so many people around the world.
I am reprinting the prayer below, but full credit goes to the author, David Bennett, who originally posted it here.
Father,
We thank you for the opportunity
to begin this new school year,
and we ask that you bless
the students, faculty, and student families
that make our school a great place.
We pray that you will guide us in your ways,
so that we will seek your will
in everything that we do,
and love others as you love us.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
