Thank you for praying with me!

I wanted to be sure to post a thank you. I am so thankful for all of the prayers that you, dear reader, have prayed! So many times I am overwhelmed by all of the children and parents and circumstances that urgently need our many prayers.

I am not sure what has been going on with me. This year, Lent has proven to be so different for me. I am 45 years old and have never really experienced anything like what I am experiencing now. I'm not even sure how to explain it...at least without sounding--I guess sad and perhaps a bit disconnected. Maybe like I'm in a desert right now...
I'm not talking about the season of Lent here...maybe it's impossible to explain. It's just me and I know if I cling to my Savior's hand, He will guide me back to Him. A bit disjointed maybe?

And on another note...I was given beautiful advice by our awesome Parish Priest on helping a little one in my class that needs prayers. He suggested that I seek out a Saint and ask for his/her intercessions for the student. I have decided to pray that St. Joseph intercede for him. He had a pretty bad week last week...I hugged him and gave him a little statue of St. Joseph. Keep praying please!

Mary
Jesus, I trust in You!

Oh my, I almost forgot! I introduced all 37 fourth graders to Divine Mercy on Friday! I bought a DVD to use with children...can't remember the exact name now, but I'll give the title in a future post. We ended Friday with a chaplet...absolutely awesome experience! These children are so beautiful! They hunger for Jesus!
Thank you God for placing me in the classroom with these beautiful children! Keep me strong and continue to guide me along the way!
And again...
Jesus, I trust in You!

I benefited so much spiritually from my Catholic school education. My children attend public school. I so wish that I could send them to Catholic school. It is wonderful all that you do to help your students learn to live a life fully committed to Christ's teachings and example. Take comfort and strength in knowing that you are living out a wonderful vocation as a Catholic educator!
