SUMMER FASTLY FADING

I can't believe that the end of August is just a matter of days away which means Labor Day the traditional last day of summer is just around the corner. Lifeguards disappear from the beaches. Stores have nothing but school supplies, hopefully on sale. Winter clothing for the kiddies is on the back to school lists.
Religious Ed starts in just four weeks, a new group of about 20 sixth graders anxiously waiting for classes to start [I know I am just wishful thinking]. If anyone reads this, please keep me in your prayers. When the new RE year starts I always feel somewhat anxious, wanting so much to bring my sixth graders to a deeper understanding of their awesome Catholic Religion.

God our Father,
you conquer the darkness of ignorance
by the light of your Word
Strengthen within our hearts
the faith you have given us;
let not temptation ever quench the fire
that your love has kindled within us.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.....Amen
