An Illuminated Prayer for the Start 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:
