Reflection
God of wisdom and might, we praise you for the wonder of our being, for
mind, body and spirit. Be with our children as they begin a new school year.
Bless them and their teachers and staff. Give them strength and grace as
their bodies grow; wisdom and knowledge to their minds as they search for
understanding; and peace and zeal to their hearts. We ask this through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
