An Illuminated Prayer for the Beginning of the School Year

If your county's children haven't yet reported to school, they will soon.  They will learn to stand in neat lines:



They will have reading to do.  Will they have stacks of books to read--or is all reading done on electronic devices now?



They might have new art forms to learn:



Perhaps there will be time to play outside:



But the desk will rule the schedule:




May teachers remember the precious lives they hold in their hands:




May students be able to make sense of it all and to see the illumination lying underneath:




May baskets of angels protect us all:
