Prayer For a New School Year
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 Christ our Lord. Amen.


An Opportunity for Grace, Truth, and Growth!!
In today’s Gospel the parable brings out two contrasting experiences, but each in its own way can be a moment of grace, a moment of truth, a moment of growth. You may be able to recall such experiences in your life. First, we discover that we had claimed a place that is too high for us; we are not as selfless, generous, or compassionate as we thought we were. Second, when others point out a goodness in ourselves that we may not have acknowledged to ourselves. How have you grown through such experiences? Then Jesus warns us against the danger of ulterior motives in doing good. We can do good things partly because of the benefit we will get from what we do. That is natural but can lead to disappointment and resentment when our expectations are not met. When the good deed is our reward, we have a greater freedom. Feedback will be a bonus but not necessary. What does your life experience tell you about this?
