2. Let us take a few moments of reflection to pray that we will support and strengthen each other for the good of the children.
Lord Jesus, when you lived and walked and talked among people here on earth, they called you teacher. Help me to remember always the greatness of the role that has been given to me. Let me never forget that I work with the most precious materials in the world, children – created in the image of God. Help me always to be conscious that each interaction I have with a child is shaping that child’s future. All of this I pray in your Holy Name. Amen
